How the steps connect

1. How do I install a board?

After receiving the Events Board pack, rez a board using the licensed avatar. Different sizes have the same functions.

The board connects automatically. Wait for registration, then open Events Board → Boards in your workspace to check it appears.

Create and publish your first event in Events. The board refreshes automatically; normally allow about a minute.

Boards do not request payment permissions. To adapt an older standalone build, see the migration article below.

2. Can I place boards using another avatar or at a partner’s location?

Yes. Add a notecard named exactly Events Board Config to the board’s root.

Write OWNER_UUID= followed by the licence holder’s Second Life UUID. Without this notecard, the object owner identifies the network.

After registration, the board appears in the holder’s network. The network owner can disable it from the dashboard.

The holder’s UUID identifies the network; it does not grant web account access. Grant manager permissions separately in Team and access.

3. How do I create and publish an event?

Open Events → Create event. Enter a title, optional subtitle and poster texture. Set your usual destination in Configuration as Region/x/y/z.

Leave Alternative destination for this event empty to use the default, or enter Region/x/y/z if it is elsewhere. Default destination changes apply to events with an empty field; individual destinations stay unchanged.

Choose the SLT date and time, duration in minutes and recurrence. Without a default location, the event destination is required.

Leave Published event unchecked to keep a draft. Check it and save to display the event on boards.

The form accepts 80 characters for the title and 120 for the subtitle. Boards show their first 24 characters; the dialog provides details.

Ended events stay in the dashboard but disappear from boards. The service holds up to 200 events: remove old entries you no longer need.

After saving, the site asks boards to refresh over HTTP. If a board cannot receive this request, regular sync retrieves the changes.
