What is the Event Dashboard?
The Event Dashboard is the main hub within Fiesta for your event and has three sections: Captures, Proposal, and Analytics.
From here, you can manage captures, access event settings, build out your proposal, view analytics, and more.
Most importantly, the Event Dashboard is where you will start your iPad, DSLR, or 360 event or share the link to a Virtual Booth event.
Note: iPad, DSLR, and 360 events can only be started from the Fiesta iOS App.
How To
Access Event Dashboard
- Log in to Fiesta
- Select an event or create a new event
Once an event has been selected, the Event Dashboard for that event will open.

Captures
The Captures tab on the Event Dashboard in Fiesta displays captures taken during an event where they can be viewed or managed. Captures shown here are also available on the event’s Live Gallery.
Captures can be added to an event in the Captures tab in a number of ways:
- Dropbox Watch Folder
- Direct upload

Unwanted captures can also be deleted from the Event Gallery in the Event Dashboard's Captures tab.
Note: Captures deleted from the Event Gallery will be permanently removed from the event and Live Gallery, and cannot be recovered.

What To Know
Automatic Capture Management
The Fiesta Software has a built-in system to ensure captures are not taking up too much space on the iOS device.
After 7 days, captures that have successfully uploaded to the Fiesta servers are removed from the iOS device.
Thumbnail previews of each capture will still be available to view after captures have been removed from the iOS device.
If you need to access the captures on the iOS device after they have been removed, selecting the captures will begin re-downloading them while the device is connected to Wi-Fi. Once re-downloaded, they can be viewed, shared, and printed again for up to 7 more days.
The chart above explains the symbols that appear at the top right of capture thumbnails in the Event Dashboard through the upload and download process.
Note: captures will not begin the 7-day timer to be removed from the iOS device until after the capture has been successfully uploaded.
What To Know
Proposals
An Event Proposal is a way to visualize and share with a client how an event will look, feel, and run.
A proposal is typically created and shared with a potential client who has already provided you with information about the event – from theme, colors, and requested features, to capture modes and backdrops.
The Proposal section of the Event Dashboard makes the process of creating a Proposal simple, by automatically generating a webpage based off of the event’s settings and branding.

What To Know
Analytics
Event Analytics is a tool that can help you better understand how successful an event was.
From the Analytics section of the Event Dashboard in Fiesta, you can gain insight into the most popular capture modes and sharing options, how many guests interacted with the call-to-action button on the page, which captures were viewed and shared the most often, and more.
You can also download the sharing data and survey results as a CSV spreadsheet from the Analytics page, which includes all of the email addresses and phone numbers entered into Fiesta by guests when sharing their captures, providing you with ways to reach out after an event for marketing and other purposes.
