Using the Host Dashboard for Vision Dinner Events

Written By Edith Henry

Last updated 10 days ago

The Host Dashboard gives event admins a single view for managing table hosts on a Vision Dinner event. It combines summary metrics, a sortable host performance table, and quick-access actions so you can see which hosts are actively recruiting guests, follow up with hosts who need a nudge, and jump straight into existing tools like Manage Registrants and each host’s Host Manager Tool — all without leaving the dashboard.

Note: The Host Dashboard is available only on Vision Dinner events. It will not appear in the sidebar for other event templates.

Accessing the Host Dashboard

  • Open the Vision Dinner event you want to manage.

  • In the event admin left navigation, go to Registrants.

  • Select Host Dashboard.

Reading the Summary Stat Cards

At the top of the Host Dashboard are four stat cards that give you an at-a-glance summary of the event's host and guest activity. These cards are display-only and are not clickable.

Stat Card

What it counts

Total Hosts

The total number of hosts set up for this event.

Guests Registered

The total number of guests registered across all hosts in this event.

Guests Invited

The total number of guests who have been invited by any host in this event.

Guests with No Host

The total number of registered guests who are not currently attached to a host.

Using the Host Performance Table

Below the stat cards is a table listing every host on the event. Use it to quickly compare hosts and identify who needs attention.

Column

What it shows

Host

The name of the table host.

Registered

Number of guests currently registered under that host, shown as a number followed by a “View” link.

Invited

Number of guests the host has invited so far. Useful for spotting hosts who haven't started sending invitations.

Canceled

Number of guests who canceled their registration under that host.

Phone

The host's phone number, if one was collected. Displays “—” if none exists.

Email

The host's email address. Displays “—” if none exists.

Sorting hosts

Use the sort dropdown above the table to reorder hosts by:

  • Most Registered (default)

  • Fewest Registered

  • Most Invited

  • Fewest Invited

Sorting by Fewest Invited is a fast way to find hosts who haven't started sending invitations yet and may need a follow-up.

Viewing a host's registered guests

Click the number in the Registered column, or the “View” link next to it, to jump directly to Manage Registrants in Group By Host view. The page automatically scrolls to and expands that host's group, with the group visually highlighted, so you don't have to search for it manually.

Click a host's name to open that person's registration details in a side panel, using the same Registrant Info panel you already see in Manage Registrants.

Taking Action from the Ellipsis Menu

Each host row has an ellipsis (•••) menu with the same actions available in Manage Registrants, so you can act on a host without switching screens:

  • View Person Profile

  • View Host Manager

  • Edit Registration

  • Register Person to Host

  • Email Guest

  • Demote to Guest

  • Cancel Registration (shown in red)

Note: The Email Guest action is especially useful for reaching out to a host about their invitation progress — for example, following up with someone who has registered guests but hasn't sent invitations yet.
