Events: Events Configuration: Events Debug Menus

Purpose

This document covers the different menu items you'll see in Debug mode of the Events application in Odoo 16.

 Debug Mode

Be sure to enable Debug Mode for the steps in this document.

Process

To get started, navigate to the Events app.


Here we'll go over the menu items that only display in debug mode, and what their purpose is.

Tracks

The Tracks menu displays after enabling Scheduled & Tracks in settings. Tracks are individual events within a parent event. Learn more in the Tracks: Live Broadcast and Tracks: Event Gamification documentation.


By default, this view organizes all tracks in their respective Location columns.



Configuration Menu Items

The configuration menu is the most impacted by entering debug mode with the following items being added.

Mail Schedulers

From this view you can see all correspondence sent, or scheduled, for all events. This page will tell you how it was sent (Mail or SMS), if a template was used, and when it was scheduled.


By clicking into a mailing, you can see further details, including when the email is to be sent (Interval), what the Trigger is, and names of Attendees and whether or not it was sent to each one.


Track Stages

When you open the  Tracks smart button from within an event, you'll see they're displayed in kanban view and organized by stage. This view is where you can manage those stages. At a glance, you can tell what type each stage is:

  • Visible In Agenda: These tracks are displayed in agenda views but not accessible.

  • Fully Accessible: If enabled, this will publish tracks automatically in order for access links to customers are provided.

  • Canceled Stage: These tracks have been canceled.

  • Folded in Kanban: These tracks are folden in kanban view, by default.


Clicking into a stage will offer more detail, such as:

  • Email Template: If there is an email template associated with this template, it will display here.

  • Sequence: This is the visual order of the column in kanban view. If a column is manually moved from kanban view, this number will update accordingly.

  • Color: This allows you to assign a color to this stage that will display in kanban view.



Track Tag Categories + Track Tags

Event tracks can be organized by tags, and these tags often fall into categories. For example, to indicate the format of a track, you can add a Tag Category of "Format" and then tags within that category for format. 

 

To add a new category, select the NEW button.

  • Name: Enter the categories these tags fall under.

  • Tag Name: Enter the tag name that will be used on your tracks.

  • Color Index: Here you can choose what color the tag will be when it is applied to a track.


 

Track Visitors

This view shows you the names of people who have registered for an event, and whether or not they're associated with a partner. Additionally, you can see if they've added the event to the Wishlist, if they've Completed the event, and how many Quiz Points they earned. All of these details can be viewed or modified by clicking into the record.



Quizzes + Quiz Questions

When Schedule & Tracks and Event Gamification are enabled, event quizzes become enabled.


The Event Quizzes view shows all existing quizzes, and which Event and Event Track they're associated with.


You can create quizzes directly on tracks, but you can also manage them from this page. To manage individual questions, go to Configuration > Quiz Questions. Here you'll see each question, which Quiz it's associated with, as well as the Number of Points that has been assigned.


To walkthrough the process of adding quizzes to tracks, see the Tracks: Event Gamification documentation.


Website Menus

On each event, you can enable different menu items to display on the front-end.


When these are enabled, the individual records are managed under configuration > Website Menus.
