Event options



Event options allow you to manage administrative details about your event and will help you create a functioning event.


Event categories

Event categories allow users to filter the events. Furthermore, the categories inform users about the event's nature.

Check out how to configure event categories.

Click anywhere in this field to open a list with all available event categories. Select the right categories for your event.


Event page

Link to an event page. The link will redirect users to another Confluence page with more detailed information about the event (provided such a page exists).

Event pages are great for big and/or external events. Describe the full location, how to get there, prices and other conditions.

Start to type in the name of the page or the blog post you want to link to your event. A list will open. Select the correct page or blog post.





Max. number of participants

Define how many participants can sign up for your event.

If you don't want to restrict the number of participants, leave this field empty or enter a zero.



Hide creator

Activate the Hide creator checkbox if you don't want users to see who created an event.



Hide participants

If you activate the Hide number of participants checkbox, users won't be able to see the number of participants or the participants limit.

If you activate the Hide participant list checkbox, users won't be able to view the participants list. They will only see themselves as participants.



Signup options

If you activate the Allow sign up checkbox, users will be able to sign up for your event.

Furthermore, you can decide if users can only sign up themselves or if they can sign others up as well for the event.



Event editors and Confluence administrators always see all functions.

Even the functions hidden for normal users. Editors and administrators will see a warning symbol ⚠️ to inform them that some features are hidden for other users.


In these four cases the participants tab is always displayed:

  • First Case:
    Sign up is possible and you can sign up others. Neither the participant list nor the number of participants are hidden in the options tab.
    This means that the tab is visible, the participant list is visible and number of participants is visible. The “Sign others up” function is also visible in the tab.

  • Second Case:
    Sign up is possible and you can sign others up. The participant list is not hidden, but the number of participants is hidden.
    This means the tab is visible, list of participants is visible, but the number of participants is not visible. The “sign others up” function is visible in the tab. Signing up is possible and you can sign up others. 

  • Third Case:
    Sign up is possible and you can sign up others. The participant list is hidden, but the number of participants is not hidden.
    This means the tab is visible, but the list is not visible and the number is not hidden. The “sign others up” function is visible on the tab.

  • Fourth Case:
    Signing up is possible and you can sign others up. The participant list and number of participants are hidden.
    This means the tab is visible, but the participant list and number of participants are not visible. The “Sign others up” function is visible on the tab.


Because admins/creators/editors can still sign in others. In these four cases the participants tab is displayed:

  • First Case:

    This means the tab is visible, the list of participants is visible and number of participants is visible.

  • Second Case:
    Signing up is not possible. The list of participants is not hidden, but the number of participants is hidden.
    This means the tab is visible, the list of participants is visible, but the number of participants is not visible.
