Searching for Closest Events

You can search for scheduled events within close proximity of a specified address.

The appropriate sign-up period should be selected and the Find Closest Wizard must be open.
  1. Geocode a point near which to perform the search.
    Geocoded addresses typically appear in black text. Addresses that require geocoding appear in red.
    To copy a geocoded point in an active window into the Find Closest Wizard dialog box, click the Retrieve Address button:
    Empty window (as found on a computer screen).
    If the map is open, a yellow dot appears to confirm that the search point has been geocoded.
  2. In the Find Closest Wizard toolbar, in the drop-down list, click Events.
  3. Select Radius and type the distance to search around the geocoded point.
  4. Optional: Select Limit and type the maximum number of results to show.
    The default maximum is 200 search results. The found events are the ones closest to your search point.
  5. In the Schedule field, click the ellipsis button (…) to use the Please Select a Schedule dialog.
  6. Click a Schedule Type (Live or Template) and Schedule (for example, 04-08-2021 or Thursday) from their lists.
  7. In the Provider field, click the providers to search for that have been assigned to the event.
  8. Click OK to close the dialog.
  9. Select the Time check box and in the field to the right, type a time (for example, 14:17).
    The system searches for events with estimated times close to this time.
  10. Accept the times set in the Time Ranges fields or overwrite these fields.
    These fields set the search window. The Time Range+ field looks for events estimated to occur after the specified time by a certain amount of minutes and the Time Range- field looks for events estimated to occur before the specified time by a certain amount of minutes.
    For example, if the time is 14:17 and you type 60 in each field, the system looks for events estimated to occur from 13:17 to 15:17. By default, they are each set at 15 minutes.
  11. Click the Find button:
    Binoculars.
    The system looks for events estimated to occur within close proximity of the specified time and geocoded location.
  12. Double-click the event row.
    The event opens in Run Itinerary view in Schedule Editor
    Schedule Editor open to Run Itinerary view.
