Events
The Events widget is designed to display events in a structured format, making it easy for users to find and view both upcoming and past events on the website pages. It includes built-in fields for event dates, times, and durations, which are essential for managing event information. Events typically require specific contextual information such as timing, location, and registration details, which are better handled by the Events widget.
Users can select what content to display and then specify how events are listed and displayed individually. The widget provides options to filter the displayed events based on various criteria.
