Event types correspond to the kinds of events that occur in your facilities. They are linked to permits and are used for reporting purposes.
Make your event type as descriptive as possible to make it easy for your staff to select the proper event type when creating a permit.
Prior to setting up event types, configure the following data points:
To modify an event type checklist
From the Event Type List page, clicking the Checklist link next to the desired event type opens the Event Type Checklist page.
The following options are included on the Change Event Type Detail Item page:
Name of Field | Type | Description |
General |
||
Description |
Text |
The name of the event type. Required. |
Display Image |
Dropdown list |
Setting to set a background image for this event type on the landing page of the new CUI Reservation module. |
Prep Code |
Dropdown list |
The prep code to associate with this event type.
If you do not select a prep code here, then you can still choose one when you create permits.
Note: A customer creating a reservation on the customer (public access) site does not have the option of selecting a prep code and is automatically assigned the prep code attached to the event type. |
Include setup in event time |
Checkbox |
This checkbox is only visible if a non-blank Prep Code has been selected.
Select this checkbox to include the setup time as part of the event time (if unchecked, then the setup time is before the event time). |
Include cleanup in event time |
Checkbox |
This checkbox is only visible if a non-blank Prep Code has been selected.
Select this checkbox to include the cleanup time as part of the event time (if unchecked, then the cleanup time is after the event time). |
Schedule Type |
Dropdown list |
The schedule type to associate with this event type.
Note: Although the schedule type is not required, if you do not select a schedule type, then this event type is not available over the customer (public access) site. On the staff site, staff must select a schedule type at the time they create a permit. |
Site |
Dropdown list |
The site attached to the event type.
The site selected is the only site where the event type can be used, unless you have multi-site permission.
Select All Sites to make the event type available to all sites. |
Prevent Further Use |
Checkbox |
Select this checkbox to disable the event type from further use without deleting it.
Note: If the event type is set as Reservation Group, you cannot set the event type to Prevent Further Use. |
Hide on Internet |
Checkbox |
Option to not display this event type on the customer site. |
Allow Non-exclusive Use |
Checkbox |
To allow users to specify permits for this event type as non-exclusive (so that other, non-conflicting permits can be booked for the same facility and time slot), select this option.
For example, you could book a non-exclusive permit for a photographer at the same time as a reservation for a basketball game, since their facility use doesn't conflict. |
Auto Include Facility and Equipment during Reservation |
Checkbox |
Option to automatically include all of the facilities or equipment associated with this event type as possible candidates for reservations that use this event type.
For example, if you have a Conference event type that always takes place in Meeting Room 1, Meeting Room 2, or Meeting Room 3, then you may want to link those three facilities to the event type and enable the new option. When you create a new reservation and select the Conference event type, ACTIVE Net will automatically select those three meeting rooms as potential candidates for the reservation--you'll skip the initial step of having to specify and search for the meeting rooms first. |
Available for Online Calendar Assignment |
Checkbox |
Select this checkbox if reservations that use this event type can be set to display on an online calendar. |
