Closing the Event

📆 Revision Date:

Closed or Ended Event

In EventKey, a Closed or Ended event refers to an event that has fully concluded—both operationally and financially. This status indicates that all event activities have taken place, all associated charges have been posted, and billing has been finalized. Once an event is marked as Closed, it is considered complete and no further edits, service execution, or financial transactions should occur. This status helps maintain data integrity, supports accurate reporting, and signals that the event is ready for archiving or historical reference.

Navigate to Home > Event Management

EventKey Dashboard (Home Screen)

To begin the cancellation process, navigate to the Dashboard and use the Search box to locate the event you need to cancel.

Enter the full or partial Event Name into the search field. The system will display a list of matching events, or, if there is an exact match, it will appear directly.

Once you’ve identified the correct event, simply click on the event name to open it.

Closing an Event: Transition to Ended Status

After the event has concluded, its status should be updated to Ended.
This final stage marks the completion of the event and allows for final billing, post-event reporting, and client follow-up to be completed.

Updating the event to Ended ensures accurate system reporting and officially closes the event life cycle.

Steps to End an Event:

  1. Ensure the folio is balanced and settled to zero.

  2. Navigate to the Action Menu in the upper-right corner of the event screen.

  3. Select Close from the dropdown menu.

  4. Click the blue Confirmed button to finalize the update.

The event will now be marked as Ended.
