Settings

The settings page is where you can configure overall settings and options for the schedule.

Schedule Settings​

The "Schedule Settings" panel provides general settings for the functionality of the application.

  • Event Name - Your convention's name. This will appear in the app's header and the browser tab when using the app.
  • Event Start Date - The start date of your convention. This setting will restrict the lower bound of selectable days when viewing/editing the schedule.
  • Event End Date - The end date of your convention. This setting will restrict the upper bound of selectable days when viewing/editing the schedule. This date is inclusive. For example, if you choose 1/1/2026, it will include all times through the end of 1/1/2026.
  • Event Time Zone - The time zone of your convention's location. The format follows IANA's time zone database format. This Wikipedia article provides some further explanation on the available options.
warning

Most times, picking your time zone is a matter of choosing a large city located in your time zone. However, there are cases where you should be careful about which time zone option to choose. For example, using "America/Denver" will give you mountain time WITH daylight savings adjustment. However, choosing "America/Phoenix" will give you mountain time WITHOUT daylight savings adjustment, as that region of Arizona does not observe DST.

See the above linked Wikipedia article for more information.

  • Day Split Time - If you would like to split your schedule's days on a non-midnight time, you can choose the time to split days in 24 hour format.
    • A common use case is for dances that run late into the night. If you have dances that run until 2 AM, you can set the split time to "03:00". This will cause a dance that happens at 1 AM Sunday to display at the end of the Saturday page instead.
  • Event Homepage URL - The link to your convention's website. This is the link used for the "Convention Website" link in the collapsible sidebar.
  • Maintenance Mode - Whether to enable maintenance mode for the schedule. When maintenance mode is enabled, the following behaviors occur:
    • Users will not be able to view your convention's schedule. Only logged in staff members with proper permissions will be able to view the schedule.
    • Any changes to events made while maintenance mode is enabled will NOT cause notifications to be sent to attendees. Changes made with maintenance mode turned on will also not be displayed in the "Schedule Alerts" panel, even once maintenance mode is turned off.

Schedule Appearance​

The "Schedule Appearance" panel allows you to modify the appearance of the schedule.

Currently, the only option is to change the schedule's primary color theming. Once a color is chosen and saved, the app will create a monochrome color theme centered around your selected color.

You may upload an image here that will be used for your convention's logo that will be shown on the app.

Uploaded images should be square, and not exceed a resolution of 1000x1000.

End Schedule Year​

Ending the schedule year is used when your convention has finished for the year, and you are ready to archive this year's schedule.

Once you click the button, you will be prompted to input the dates for next year's convention. If you do not yet know your dates, input placeholder dates for now. They can always be changed later on this screen.

You may also choose whether to keep the same panel rooms that were used for this year's convention. If the checkbox is checked, all of this year's rooms will be copied to your next year's schedule. Otherwise, your new schedule will start with no rooms and they will need to be created again.

Be Careful!

Once you end a schedule year, that year's schedule becomes archived and read only, meaning you cannot make ANY changes to that year's schedule once the operation is completed.

Only click this if you are 100% finished with this year's schedule, and no further changes are needed on it!
