The next tab to explore after clicking Launch Configurator from your event bucket settings page is the Virtual tab.

Configure your Eventive Virtual Catalog and Watch pages. This tab and its settings will only apply if your organization has activated Eventive Virtual.


Below you will find detailed descriptions of all the settings you can configure in the Virtual tab:

Virtual watch site name: The name of your virtual watch site. Displayed above the title on every virtual screening watch page.

Color theme: Choose a theme to customize the look-and-feel of your virtual watch site. You can choose between Default, Dark Blue, and White.

NOTE: You cannot change the background color of your Virtual Catalog or Watch pages beyond these 3 options.

When Default is selected:

When Dark Blue is selected:

When White is selected:


​Header Graphic: Upload a graphic to use as the Virtual Catalog page header (highly recommended!)

Header logo alternate display: Select "Yes, show header graphic as a full-width banner" to make the image you uploaded under Header Graphic display as a full-width banner across your Virtual Catalog page.

Google Analytics tracking ID: Use your own Google Analytics account to track page views and purchase events on your virtual catalog. Enter your account ID in the "GA-4" format (for example, GA-4-12345-6) then edit your tracking and logging settings/scripts in your Google Analytics dashboard. Click here to read Google's resource on how to find your "GA-4" Tracking ID.

As of July 1, 2023 Google Analytics are converting from the current "UA" codes to "GA-4" codes. This means all current Google Analytics will cease to work on July 1 unless they are updated to "GA-4". CLICK HERE for information on switching over. You will need to set-up a new GA-4 property and then get the new measurement ID from that to replace the UA one.

Facebook Pixel tracking ID: If specified, automatically log page views and purchase events to your Facebook Pixel. Click here to read Facebook's resource on how to set up Facebook Pixel. Please note, you only need the Facebook Pixel ID (not the full code) to add Pixel tracking to your Virtual Watch Site.

"Back" button text: Shown in the upper righthand corner of the site, to take users back to your main site or any destination you specify.

If nothing is written here, the default text that will appear on your Virtual Catalog and Watch pages is "Back to Festival Site," but you can customize it to whatever you'd like!

"Back" button destination: Write a full URL (http://...) of where you want this button to take your audience. If nothing is written, the button will link to your Eventive site - yourevent.eventive.org.
