    Plug and play

    Posted:

    Overview

    “Plug and play” is a simplified management portal within the eventbuizz system. It is designed to streamline and expedite the event creation process by leveraging pre-defined templates. This portal is intended to provide users with a quick and user-friendly interface to set up events with minimal effort and configuration.

    Purpose:

    The primary purpose of plug and play is to enable fast and efficient event creation for  who do not need or require the extensive features available in the full eventcenter portal. By focusing on simplicity and ease of use, plug and play caters to users who need to create events quickly, often without the need for detailed customisation.

    Key objectives include:

    • Efficiency: Reduce the time and effort required to set up events.
    • Simplicity: Provide a straightforward interface with minimal options to avoid overwhelming users.
    • Accessibility: Allow sub admins and other users with restricted permissions to create events based on pre-defined templates.

    Working:

    • Access Control:
      • User permissions: Only sub admins with specific permissions, granted by  super admins, can access plug and play. This typically includes sub admins and, in some cases, organisers themselves.
      • Template visibility: Organisers determine which templates are made available in plug and play. These templates are configured in the eventcenter and then made accessible to plug and play users.
    • Template selection:
      • Upon logging into plug and play, sub admins are presented with a list of available templates. These templates have been set up in the eventcenter by organisers and can include a variety of event configurations.
    • Event creation:

      • User admin select a template from the available options. This action loads the template’s pre-configured settings into the event creation interface.
      • The interface guides sub admins through a series of simplified steps to set up the event, such as entering basic event details, selecting dates, and adding necessary information.
    • Finalization:

      • Once all required fields are completed, the user finalizes and submits the event setup.
      • The event is created based on the chosen template, inheriting the settings and configurations specified in that template.
