[qiskit.org] seminar series
The seminar-series page is populated according to an Airtable managed by the IBM Quantum Community Events team. Downloading the list of coming and past seminar series happens once per build, right before the site generation.
The following table summarizes the Airtable columns involved in the generation of the seminar series page. It includes the column name, a description of its function in the UI, and the expected type of values. The picture below displays the different event's fields (in purple), referenced by the summary table (in bold).
| Old column name | New column name | Purpose | Type of the value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Picture? | Image / Icon | Used as the event picture | An image URL* |
| Name | Name | Used for the Event name | Single text |
| Event Location | Event Location | Used for the field Event location. Defaults in "TBD" if it's not filled on airtable | Single text |
| Start Date | Start Date | Day when the event takes place | Single date |

* The image URL is automatically provided by Airtable when adding an image to a column.
Important: Airtable columns and tables are identified by name so a change in a column or table name will likely break the UI. A change in the type of values for a column could also render the UI useless.
