Configure an event to display on my map: format and best practices

You can associate events with a point and display date and time data in the point details.

Your point and your event form a single entity: the point information is also the event information (image, description, etc.).


📅 Configure an event to display it correctly on your map.

In your Google Sheets or Excel file:

  1. Create 2 new columns
    • Start date and time
    • End date and time
  1. Add as many rows as there are events or event times, even if they take place at the same location.

Ex: if event "A" takes place Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, from 9pm to 11pm, your file must contain 3 rows (one for Monday, one for Tuesday, one for Wednesday).

  1. Enter the event information using ISO format: 2021-07-31T20:30:00Z
    • Date format: YYYY-MM-DD
    • Time format: HH:MM:SSZ
    • "T" is a separator that allows computer systems to distinguish the date and time parts, which must be included in your file
    • "Z" corresponds to UTC time (time according to geographical zone)

Ex: in France, during daylight saving time the Z parameter must be replaced by +02:00 and during winter time +01:00.

  1. Apply a "Plain text" format to the date columns: Format > Number > Plain text

📌 Note:

  • If your file is already synchronized (in the case of a Google Sheets imported via connector), access your list from "Manage" > "My lists", then click on "Edit columns" > "Add a column" to add this information.
  • For the event to be correctly imported on your map, it must include a date and time. However, if it is not necessary to indicate a specific time or if you do not have this information, you can indicate midnight by default "T00:00:00". You can then hide these times directly in the map options.
  • If one of your points contains multiple events or multiple dates/times, activate clusters to indicate the number of events offered for this location.

🗺️ Configure your map to display events

To ensure your events display correctly on the map:

  1. Access the relevant map

In the "Map content" section:

  1. Enable the "Priority to events" option

💡 Tip:

To hide event times, go to the "Formatting" > "Visible fields" section, then enable the "Hide times" option.
