The Events Details Area holds a vast amount of information grouped under a set of six distinct tabs:

  • General
  • Originator
  • Activities
  • Originator
  • Measures/Scenarios
  • Reference Publication
  • Performance Analysis
Note: in the case of a MILITARY event, an additional Military Information tab is proposed - see below for its content.

General

The General tab essentially contains text fields:

  1. Description: this is where you can enter the Description text for the event (up to 8000 characters).

    Note the presence of a simple editor providing the following functions:
    1. Remove Style: use this command to remove the style applied to a word or group of words - insert the mouse cursor within the styled group first then use the command
    2. Emphasis: use this command to italicize text (same as 'Italic') - select the text and apply the style
    3. Strong Emphasis: use this command to strengthen text (same as 'Bold') - select the text and apply the style
      Tip: Selecting a word, then Strong emphasis, and then Entity Name, sets the word both bold/underlined (note to do this word by word and not include spaces)
    4. Entity Name: use this command to highlight entity names (same as 'Underline') - select the text and apply the style
    5. Image: use this command to place an image in the text (the image needs to be uploaded beforehand - see below the Resources tab for more information)
    6. External Link: use this command to have a word or group of words link to an external URL - select the text and apply the command
    7. Internal Link: use this command to have a word or group of words link to an internal resource element (the file needs to be uploaded beforehand - see below the Resources tab for more information) - select the text and apply the command
    8. UL: use this command to create an unordered list (items listed with a bullet)
    9. OL: use this command to create an ordered list (items listed with a number)
    10. Sanitize: use this command to check and validate the text area content and make sure it is properly formatted for the intended usage - and does not contain harmful code or characters.
  2. Short Description: free text area (mandatory) - this is the text displayed under the Event name, when listed after a search
  3. Expected Benefits: free text area
  4. Originator Comments: free text area
  5. Network Manager Comments: free text area
  6. Remarks restricted to internal use:
    1. Internal/Restricted Originator Remarks: free text area
    2. Internal/Restricted Network Manager Remarks: free text area
Note: The 'Remarks' fields from the General tab, or from any other location within the Network Events realm, will always be restricted and only visible to NM staff (and assimilated ). In a similar way, the 'Comments' fields from the General tab, or from any other location within the Network Events realm, are visible to all. In both cases, you will need the role 'Reader' associated to your profile.
