Events
The Events section provides a comprehensive view of all your scheduled events. Events are automatically created when someone purchases at least one ticket for a timeslot. This section acts as your calendar, indicating when and where your tour operators need to show up.
- You can't create events manually, but you can change the time or location on a per-event basis. This will send an email to all participants with the new details.
- If you'd like to change the location going forward, change it in the corresponding service, so that all events created in the future will have the new timeslot or location.
