Every event belongs to an Event Category.

Your organisation can have several Event Categories.

Within an Event Category you can set:

• The fields used on the Event Creation Form (this is the screen you see when you create or edit the event)

• Event Guest Booking Form fields (this is an optional form you can add that collects event-specific information about each guest that is likely to vary for that guest on different events)

• Guest Background Information custom table fields (this is information from the guest’s Contact Profile Page that you want to be displayed whenever that guest is booked into an event)

• Which event roles are available to be assigned to event guests and/or event workers

• Whether event guests can be assigned to specific event workers

Where event categories appear

• On your Manage Events page there is a column called Event Category which shows the event category of each event

• On your event’s page the Event Category is shown on the left side in the Event Information box
