How to setup the Engagement Hub
An application that does not have the engagement hub will see a “request more information” button. This will direct the user to email our team to get more information regarding the Engagement Hub.

Once you have the engagement hub enabled, you will see Engagement Hub set up a button in the Events page in the dashboard.
You will be taken to the event setup page to add the basic information for your engagement hub.
NB: The engagement hub includes all the amazing features that are available to you when you build an event on the Grip Platform except the following:
- MustMeet is not available on the Engagement Hub.
- Badge Scanning is not supported in the Engagement Hub.
Add an event overview page
A feature exclusive to the Engagement Hub is the Event Overview Navigation Item. This can show your event participants some or all events within the Application, based on the configuration you utilize.
You can create multiple Event Overview Navigation Items to create distinct lists of events based on the filters configured. For example, an Event Overview Navigation Item filtered to show only future events, called "Register for future events", and an Event Overview Navigation Item filtered to show only past events, called "Check out our past events".
The Event Overview Navigation is not supported on Mobile (iOS and Android), however, the event switcher is available for participants to switch between the Engagement Hub and events they are already registered for.
1. Navigate to Event Details> Navigation > Create Navigation Item
2. Add the name of the navigation item and define the placement. In the dropdown item type, select “Event Overview”.
3. You will have four Event Stages to show on the page:
All – This will show all your active events (Live, Past and Future)
Live – All your live events that are Active.
Past – All your past events within the application
Future – This will show all your future events in the application.
Here's an example of what the Events Overview Navigation Item looks like on the event platform.
