What you will accomplish

You will choose how many columns of event cards appear on the Create event home page—the large-button screen staff use to start drop-offs, details, pickups, and workflows.

Each team member saves their own desktop and mobile layout. Changes save automatically.

When to adjust the layout

• Your facility has many event types and cards feel crowded on one row.
• Front-desk staff on tablets want fewer, larger cards (1 column).
• Wide monitors can show more cards at once (2 or 3 columns).

Before you start

• You can sign in as any staff user (each person sets their own layout).
• Event types exist so the Create event page shows a populated card grid. If the grid is empty, finish Configure event types first.

Choose desktop columns

1. Open Events & schedule

   Go to Settings > Events & schedule.

   Scroll to Create event screen layout.

2. Find Desktop

   Under Desktop, you see three choices: 1 column, 2 columns, and 3 columns. Each shows a small preview grid.

3. Click the layout you want

   Click the option that matches your monitor and how many services you offer.

   • 1 column — one card per row; best for large text and fewer mis-taps.
   • 2 columns — balanced default for most laptops.
   • 3 columns — fits more services on wide screens without scrolling.

   Expected result: Saved appears briefly. Your choice applies the next time you open Create event on a desktop browser.

Choose mobile columns

1. Find Mobile

   On the same page, scroll to Mobile (phone icon).

2. Pick 1, 2, or 3 columns

   Most phone users prefer 1 column or 2 columns so card labels stay readable.

   Why this matters: Mobile layouts save separately from desktop—you can use 3 columns on a monitor and 1 column on a phone.

3. Wait for Saved

   Changes save automatically after a short pause. Look for Saved near the top of the section.

Preview on Create event

1. Open Create event

   In the sidebar, click Create event (or go to Create event).

2. Compare the card grid

   Count how many cards appear side by side. Resize the browser window or open the page on a phone to see the mobile layout.

   Expected result: The grid matches the column count you chose for that device type.
