Manage Event Categories
Within this screen, you have the ability to create, update and delete the Categories to which your events are assigned. You also have the ability to establish default categories – those that you choose will be applied to every event you create, by default.

To create a new Category simply enter the name of your new Category in the field within the Add New section and click the ‘Add New’ button. After doing so, the newly created Category will appear in the table below. To complete the creation, click on the Save button at the top left of the screen. If you do not click Save, the addition will be removed upon leaving this screen.

To delete a Category, simply click on the Delete icon within its delete column. To complete the deletion, click on the Save button at the top left of the screen. If you do not click Save, the addition will be removed upon leaving this screen.

If a Category is assigned to an event, that category cannot be deleted. In fact, instead of displaying the delete icon, the words ‘In Use’ will be displayed preventing you from deleting that Category.

To update a Category, simply click into the name field for a given Category and modify its name. To complete the update, click the Save button at the top left of the screen. If you do not click save, the update will revert upon leaving the screen.

For those of you that were migrated from the previous version of Calendar/Event Registration, here are some things you should know about this screen:

1. All of the Categories you created in the previous version and the assigned default will be migrated over. You need not create any new Categories, unless of course you need to.

2. The process of Creation is identical.

3. The main difference between this version and its predecessor is that you can now assign multiple defaults.
