After creating an event with the wizard, you manage it from the Event Dashboard. This is the hub for all event operations, from editing details through to running the event on the day.
Productions / Showcases use the same dashboard with production vocabulary and tools: the Entries and Dancers tabs become Performances and Cast, the hero stats show performance and cast counts, Dancer Check-In becomes Cast Check-In, and competition-only tools (Judges, Score Cards, Results) are hidden.
Accessing the Event Dashboard
From the Organizer Dashboard, click on any published or active event to open its Event Dashboard. Draft events open in the wizard instead.
