Events

When creating events in the Event Hub with Linchpin Events, the Outlook invitation indicates it is from ‘Linchpin Events’. It would be helpful to be able to change this to our organization name or something else to alleviate any user confusion.

The color combinations of the buttons are not barrier-free in parts due to too weak contrasts. It would be nice if you could either set these yourself or if they were colored natively with high contrast.

It would be nice if the timeslots could be defined more individually. At the moment you can only enter the total period and the duration of the slots, but not the respective start. Example: a slot lasts 1 hour, but the slots should run in parallel with a time delay. So not start at 8 am and then 9 am, but 8 am for one hour and then 8:30 am also for 1 hour etc.

For events in which timeslots are allocated, it would be nice if the exported list displayed the participants in chronological order. At the moment it is not sorted according to the start times of the slots.

As an administrator I'd like to see the users in the event waiting list and I'd maybe be able to manage the users in the list, too. (e.g. delete someone from the list)

It would be really useful if you could translate event categories with the globe icon like in the news categories. That means you only have to set up the category once, and Linchpin will automatically show it to the user in their language. I've put together a quick graphic to help explain things.

It would be very helpful if events can be automatically added and synchronized with a team calendar (e.g. search for a calendar in a dropdown in the event macro). Currently a user must export each single event as an ICS file and reimport each single event as a whole new calendar. Changes to the event are of course not synchronized.

It'd be really helpful to have a custom theming option for event labels in Linchpin. Being able to customize label colors would make it even easier to prioritize events at a glance, therefore, staying organized. It'd be also great for teams to be able to keep things consistent in how they label events, make sure they line up with specific workflows, and boost overall productivity.

I want to promote external events within my Linchpin intranet in order to make my colleagues aware of events potentially of interest. External events are treated as regular events except instead of the application option the user is being presented with a referrer to the external event page (URL). Might be useful especially for: summits trainings public events webinars

A customer told me about their feature request, so I'm putting it here for them: At the moment, if you create a recurring event, it will continue into the future indefinitely. If the series is at some point no longer needed, you have to delete future events. This is not very intuitive and a bit inconvenient, if you know from the start that a series will only have a certain number of events. So the idea is to offer an option to set the amount of events and / or an end date for the series, after which no new events will be created for this series.
