Each event type and report has a version status attached to it:

  • Draft = currently in progress and which are not yet visible to users of the system.

  • Published = visible and can be used by end users of the system.

  • Archived = were previously published but now deactivated. Users can no longer add new events of this type but all historical entries are preserved.

How to change the status 

When creating a new event type it will be in draft status to begin with.

  1. The status of the event type or report currently on screen is shown at the top of the page

     

  2. Select Publish in order to move this into a state which can be used by end users

How to create a new version

  1. Once in a published state there are limited data fields on an event type which can be modified without needing to create a new version

    1. Add tags to this event - set the blueprint tags which should be applied whenever someone creates this event on their timeline

    2. Event type identifying colour - the circle colour that all events of this type will be shown with when listed on timelines



Once published, event types and reports will be visible to users of the system.
