Editing Date and Time in Your Event
Editing the date and time for an event is a crucial step when managing your workspace in the Blink event management platform. Here's a step-by-step guide to assist you in making those adjustments and ensuring your event is set up accurately.
Access the Event
Navigate to your workspace where the event you want to edit is located. Once there, select the event you wish to modify. You will be directed to the event editing page that contains all the key details of the event.
Locate the Date and Time Fields
In the Time and Date section of the event editing page, you will see fields for both the Start Date, End Date, Start Time, and End Time.
Open the Calendar to Select a New Date
To edit the Start or End Date, click on the calendar icon next to the date field. This will open a dropdown calendar (as shown in Screenshot 1). This calendar allows you to navigate and select the desired date for your event easily.

Below the date fields, you will find the Start Time and End Time fields. To modify these, click on the clock icon next to the time fields, and a time selector will appear. Choose the appropriate start and end times for your event.
Confirm the Changes
Once you've updated the date and time, make sure to scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Save button to apply the changes. Your event's timing will now reflect the updated information.
Choosing the Flight and Accommodation Options

Attendee-Driven Booking: Attendees will manage their own flight bookings.
Admin-Managed Booking: The event admin will manage flight bookings for attendees.
Save the Event
Once all the fields are completed, click the “Create” button to finalize the creation of your event. You will now see the event added to your workspace dashboard, where you can further manage and edit it.
