Managing the Countdown Panel

The countdown panel shows a countdown clock that counts the weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds until the start date of an Event.

By default, we provide you with a countdown panel in every new Event Website, and you can modify, move or delete this panel using the controls next to the panel. You can only have one countdown panel per Website.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The countdown clock uses the start date from the Event Dashboard, so if you need to change that date, go to the Event Dashboard and click on the "Edit Date/Time" button. The clock counts down to 12am (midnight) on the date the event starts based on the time zone set in your account.

1. Click on the "Event Website" tool button on the Event Dashboard - OR - use the Quick Launch tool to select the appropriate Event and the "Event Website" tool.
