What Is The Event Dashboard?
The Event Dashboard is the central hub within the Fiesta Software. It includes three main sections: Captures, Proposal, and Analytics.
From this dashboard, you can manage captures, update event settings, create Proposals, view Analytics, and more.
Most importantly, you can use the Event Dashboard to start an iPad, DSLR, or 360 event, or to share the link to a Virtual Booth event.
IMPORTANT: iPad, DSLR, and 360 events can only be started from the Fiesta Software (iOS).

What To Know
Automatic Capture Management
The Fiesta Software has a built-in system to prevent captures from taking up too much storage on the iOS device.
IMPORTANT: After 7 days, captures that have successfully uploaded to the Fiesta servers are automatically removed from the iOS device.
Thumbnail previews of each capture remain visible after removal.
To re-access a removed capture, select it while the device is connected to Wi-Fi. The capture will begin re-downloading. Once re-downloaded, it can be viewed, shared, and printed again for up to 7 additional days.
The chart above explains the icons that appear in the upper-right corner of each capture thumbnail during the upload and download process.
Note: The 7-day timer does not begin until a capture has been successfully uploaded to the Fiesta servers.
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 information about the event, such as theme, colors, requested features, capture modes, and backdrops.
The Proposal section of the Event Dashboard streamlines the process of creating a Proposal by automatically generating a webpage based on the event’s settings and branding.

Note: Proposals are only available on the Fiesta Pro subscription tier.
What To Know
Analytics
Event Analytics is a tool that provides insight into how successful an event was.
From the Analytics section of the Event Dashboard, view detailed stats such as the most popular capture modes and sharing methods, how many guests interacted with the call-to-action button, which captures were viewed or shared the most frequently, and more.
Sharing data and survey results can be downloaded as a CSV spreadsheet from the Analytics page. This file includes the email addresses and phone numbers entered by guests during the event, making it a valuable resource for post-event marketing and follow-ups.

FAQ
Why can't I start my event from the Fiesta Web App?

?
- Ensure your iOS device is connected to a stable internet connection and leave the Fiesta iOS App open to the Event Dashboard to allow the captures to finish uploading.
