About

The Home tab displays all the events in the Kaltura Events account.

The Home tab is accessible via the Kaltura Events Home page and is available to account owners/admin, Organizers, and Content managers. To learn more about the other tabs on the Kaltura Events Home page, see Kaltura Events - Account setup.

Quickly access recently viewed events

The Home tab provides quick access to events you've recently viewed.  

Clicking on any of these recently viewed events takes you to the Overview tab for that event.

Easily navigate to the Showcase page 

Event organizers who have been planning and managing a variety of events may wish to "showcase" a collection of sites to prospects and allow those prospects to register for upcoming events and/or watch past events on demand. Kaltura generates a "Showcase page" that event organizers can customize, share directly with prospects, and/or embed on the event organizer's own website. Access the Events showcase page directly from the Home tab by clicking on the Showcase button. 

See Events showcase for detailed information on this feature.

Search and filter the event list 

Search the event list by typing a keyword in the search field. 

Filter the event list by expanding the All events & webinars pull-down and selecting All events & webinars, Current (ongoing and future events), or Past (ended events). 

Further filter the event list by expanding the All labels pull-down and selecting from the list of available labels. You may also start typing the first few letters of a label and a list of matching labels will populate for you. 

Event labels are a powerful way to categorize and filter your events. You can assign custom labels to each event, helping you to:

• Stay organized: Group similar events together by theme, target audience, department, or any other relevant criteria.
• Simplify searching: Quickly find specific events by filtering your list based on assigned labels.
• Boost efficiency: Save time by locating the events you need in a flash.

See Kaltura Events - Edit the Event Details for information on adding labels to your event.
