On a website, you can create a page that shows a list of things, like upcoming events. To do this, you can use the 'Listing Page' feature that can be used to collect all the details about these events.

First you need to create your Events pages. Learn how to create Event pages.

As new events are added, the list automatically updates to include them. Once an event is over, it will disappear from the list after about four days to make space for upcoming events.

Each person on your agency team has a specific user role for the website. These roles set permissions. They control who can edit, review, and publish content. You can ask for a role change or remove a role. Just submit a ServiceNow support ticket if you need help.

Select "Events" when building your Listing Page

Select the "Events" option and press save. The Listing page auto-builds a list of upcoming events.

If you want to only show certain events on your list, like only Board Meetings, first assign that specific event to an "Event Type."

Then, on your listing page when you select automatic list, you've created an Events list with only the event type (i.e. "Board Meeting") to be displayed on your listing page.
