Step 12: The Final Countdown: Taking Your Event Live in Resiada

As you inch closer to the grand unveiling of your event, taking it live is the last step. This transformative phase in Resiada's event management process breathes life into all your meticulous planning. Let's walk through the key aspects of making your event live, ensuring a smooth transition from planning to execution.

Accessing the Event Status Page

From the Event Navigation bar: In the back office, click on ‘Manage’, located on the right side of the event navigation menu. Click on ‘Status’ in the dropdown menu.
Alternatively, you can use the status link located in the top left corner of the platform, right beneath the logo.

Understanding Event Status Options: Choose Your Stage

Demo Mode: Think of this as your sandbox. Perfect for testing and setting up features without affecting the live environment. Demo events can not be made live as they contain sample content.
Preview Mode: Your event is almost ready for the world. Review everything to ensure it’s set up correctly.
Live Mode: The big moment! This indicates your event is active and operational.
Archived: Used post-event, this status preserves data but deactivates operations. Resiada automatically archives events 90 days following their conclusion.

Changing the Event Status: The Big Switch

Transitioning to Live: Shift your event status from "Preview" to "Live" when you’re ready. Remember, once live, certain aspects of your event setup become locked.
Reverting to Preview: You can switch back to "Preview" from "Live" if needed, but be mindful that this is restricted if reservations have already been made.
Mandatory Consent: Your agreement is crucial. Check all required checkboxes to confirm your readiness to go live.

Conditions for Going Live: Are You Ready?

Contractual Obligations: A Resiada contract must be on record for your event to go live. If absent, a prompt will remind you of this essential requirement.
Action Buttons: The 'Make My Event Live' button is your final click to launch. If there’s no Resiada contract, you will get an error attempting to go live.

Important Considerations Before Going Live

Preview Review: Double-check everything in the Preview stage. It's your last opportunity for any tweaks.
Regular Updates: Keep your event setup updated for accuracy and relevance. Even after going live, maintaining the most current information is key for a successful event.

Taking your event live in Resiada is more than just a click of a button; it's the culmination of your hard work and planning. This process ensures that every aspect of your event is polished and ready for attendees. By understanding and following these steps, you’re setting the stage for an event that’s not just live but alive with potential and excitement. Remember, the transition to 'Live' is just the beginning of an unforgettable event journey!
