The Details screen allows you to view and change the current status, name and event date of the Single Calendar Event. Please note that the options on this screen are similar to those on the Details screen of a Single Calendar Event in the backend.

  • View Future Status: this button will open the Future Status settings, allowing you to schedule a Future Status change for the Standard Page at a specified date and time. For more information, refer to the Editing a Standard Page chapter in this manual.
  • Change: to change the Status of the Single Calendar Event, select the appropriate status from the list provided. The options available depend on the current Status of the asset, what permissions you have and whether or not Workflow is applied. For example, if the asset is currently Under Construction and you have Admin Permission, the available options are Approve and Make Live and Archive. If there is Workflow applied to the asset then the available options are Apply for Approval and Archive.

    Tip: You cannot change the Status of an asset if the current Status is Pending Approval, as Workflow is in progress.

  • Cascade Status Change: check this box to cascade the Status change to all child assets.

    Tip: To cascade the current Status of the asset to its child assets, click Cascade Status Change and click Save. For example, if the asset is Live but the child assets of the asset are Under Construction, to make them all Live, click Cascade Status Change and click Save.
