# Creating and Managing Events

### The **Events** tab in ClickBid gives you access to all of your organization's events, both active and inactive, along with powerful tools to view, organize, and create more.

### 👤 Who Can See Events

Only users with **Organization Admin** permissions can view **all** events in the Events tab.

- If you don’t see certain events, check with your admin to ensure you have the proper access level.

Admin-level users can toggle between active and inactive events, while limited roles may see only certain event data.

---

### 👀 Event Status Filters

At the top of the **Events** tab, use the **Event Status** dropdown to choose what to display:

![](https://support.cbo.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-09-2026-02-10-24-9613-AM.png?width=357&height=198&name=image-png-Feb-09-2026-02-10-24-9613-AM.png)

- **Show Active Events** – Only events currently active
- **Show Inactive Events** – Events that have been deactivated
- **Show All Events** – Displays both active and inactive events

Use “Show All Events” if you’re unsure whether an event is still active or has been deactivated.

---

### 🔄 Viewing Options for Events

On the right side of the Events page, you’ll see two blue buttons that let you toggle between:

1. **Table / Spreadsheet View**
2. **Card View (default)**

On the right side of the Events Page, you will see two blue circles to help sort your events.⬇️

![](https://support.cbo.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-09-2026-02-11-53-0082-AM.png?width=670&height=115&name=image-png-Feb-09-2026-02-11-53-0082-AM.png)

### **1. Table / Spreadsheet View**

- Click the **table icon** (spreadsheet-style button).
- View all your events in rows with sortable columns.
- Scroll horizontally to view full event data.

Pro Tip! Use the Show/Hide button to adjust your column data and use the Up/Down arrows next to column headers to sort events by that field.

### **2. Card View (default)**

![](https://support.cbo.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-09-2026-02-13-28-7948-AM.png?width=670&height=317&name=image-png-Feb-09-2026-02-13-28-7948-AM.png)

**For Card View** choose from the 3 options listed

- **Show Active Events** - This will display only events that are active
- **Show Inactive Events** - This will display only events that have been deactivated.
- **Show All Events** - This will display all active and inactive events.

- Event Date Newest to Oldest (Event Start Date) (default)
- Event Date Oldest to Newest (Event Start Date)
- Event Name
- Keyword
- Custom (chosen automatically when you drag and drop a new order)
