Manage Events
Discover how to use the Event Manager to create, customize, and manage events in your fundraising account. View event details, track attendees, and access management tools.
The Event Manager is your central hub for creating, customizing, and overseeing all events in your fundraising account. From the Action Pages > Events tab, you can view event details, track attendee records, and quickly access tools for managing each event.
Table of Contents
Within the Events Index, you’ll see all upcoming events at a glance. Use the filter options to locate past events by setting a date range, or find specific events by name using the search bar. You can also sort events by name, date, tickets sold, or total raised.
Note: The Attendees Index is not intended for reconciling financial data related to your event. All paid ticket and donation transactions can be viewed in Finance > Transactions. However, free ticket data is not available in the Finance > Transactions view.
To review both free and paid ticket data:
-
Go to Action Pages > Pages and copy the Event Page ID.
-
Open Action Pages > Submissions.
-
Filter results by the copied Event Page ID.
-
Create and download an export to view all ticket submissions.
To manage an event, hover over its name and choose to Edit Page, View Details, or View Attendees. Selecting Edit Page opens the Event Page Builder, where you can update your event information, ticketing, and more. Creating a new event is just as easy—click the + New Event button in the top right corner to start building right away.
View Details
Select Actions > View Details to open the Event Details drawer.
Within the Event Details drawer, you’ll see a summary of your event’s key totals, including:
-
Individual ticket sales vs. ticket availability — ticket counts reflect only Active tickets.
-
Total sold — the total number of Active tickets sold across all ticket types.
-
Total raised — the total amount raised from both ticket sales and donations processed through the Event Page.
This view gives you a quick snapshot of your event’s performance without having to run a full report. To exit, click the X in the upper right corner of the Event Details drawer.
View Attendees
Select Actions > View Attendees to open the Attendees Index.
The Attendees Index is your hub for viewing, updating, and managing all event registrations. From this page, you can edit attendee information, adjust ticket details, and record attendance activity.

Search
Use the Search bar to locate individual Attendees by Name and Email.
The Search bar does not recognize partial email addresses.
Filter
Access the Filter menu in the upper right corner of the Attendees Index. Within the Filter menu, you can apply the following parameters:
- Start and End Date
- Status
- Ticket Type
- Ticket ID (comma separated, no spaces)
- Show Checked In
- Check In Date
Click Apply Filters, then click X in the upper right corner to view your results.
By default, the Status is filtered by Active tickets only. Adjust the Status filter to view both Active and Canceled tickets.
Sort
Use the Sort menu to organize Attendee data by the following:
- Attendee Name
- Timestamp (Purchase)
- Status
- Checked-in
Export
Click the Export button in the upper right corner of the Attendees Index to download a CSV file of the list of Attendees.
The following columns are available in the Export:
- Attendee Name
- ID
- Phone Number
- Ticket Type
- Timestamp (of purchase)
- Checked-in (shown as a timestamp)
- Status
By default, the CSV Export only includes Active ticket details. Adjust the Status filter prior to generating an export to view all ticket purchases.
Edit
To Edit an Attendee, hover over the Attendee Name, then click Actions > Edit. An editable Attendee Information drawer will open on the right side of the page.
You may make adjustments to the following Attendee fields:
- Ticket Type
- First and Last Name
- Phone
- Address
- Employer and Occupation
- Download Ticket (PDF format)
- Email Ticket (resend the ticket email to the attendee)
- Cancel Ticket
Changing an attendee’s Ticket Type will not automatically issue a refund or charge for any price difference.
Employer and Occupation information can only be collected from the purchaser during the initial submission process. This data cannot be collected directly from attendees at this time, but organizations may manually add it for an attendee within the Attendees Index.
When a ticket is canceled, the action cannot be undone. Canceling a ticket returns it to the total number of tickets available for purchase on the Event Page. If a ticket is canceled by mistake, a new ticket must be purchased or managed manually outside of Anedot.
Please note that canceling a ticket does not issue a refund. To process a refund, navigate to Finance > Transactions and initiate the refund. For detailed instructions, see our guide: Refunds and Voids.
View Details
Hover over an Attendee Name and click Actions > View Details to view the Attendee Information drawer.
The Attendee Information drawer provides a detailed view of the attendee’s registration and related transaction. All tickets included in the same submission (single transaction) will be displayed together. For each ticket, you’ll see the ticket type, ticket price, and any promo code applied. At the bottom, the submission total reflects the combined cost of all tickets in that submission.
Check-in Attendees
Use the Checked-in toggle to record an Attendee's arrival at an event. Within the Attendee Index Export, a record of the Checked-in Timestamp will be available for record-keeping.
