What is an event panel?
An event panel is a way of displaying a number of events with the titles, summaries and images. When a customer clicks an event title or image, they are redirected to the relevant event page. Event panels have a range of settings that can be used to customise the arrangement of the events, the appearance of the event image and the appearance and behaviour of the scroll-triggered animation.
Once an event panel has been added, it can then be displayed on your website by adding it to the content of a row column.
