Event, Subevent, and Session Data

---

Siebel eEvents Manager for Finance allows you to define events, subevents, and sessions. For the purposes of defining and organizing information for an event, you should note that Siebel eEvents Manager for Finance uses a three-level hierarchy of events:

Event. The master (or parent) event record in the database. When an event is created, subevents are automatically generated and initially inherit the fields from the parent event. The parent event spans the entire timeline for the overall event. Parent events are usually measured in weeks.
Subevents. The propagated subevents, or children of the parent event, which comprise the individual days within the parent event timeline. A subevent is usually one day long.
Sessions. The components of a subevent. Usually, many sessions make up a subevent. Sessions are typically measured in hours.

Event plans include defining the purpose, nature, and scope of the event, and making at least tentative decisions about when and where the event will be held. In Siebel eEvents Manager for Finance, you can record these decisions in an event.

Later in the definition process, you can associate detailed information to this high-level event. Also, prospective event attendees will be able to view information from the listing on your Siebel eEvents for Finance Web site.

NOTE:  In this release, information that is entered for a specific session is stored separately from information that is entered for the event that includes the session. For example, to view all information about event vendors, you would need to review the vendor information under the tabs for Events, Sub-Events, and Sessions.
