Understanding Campus Events
You must define the items that you want to make available for events.
To define events, you:
Define event types.
Define event resource codes.
Define event staff codes.
An event consists of one or more meetings, each of which has its own resources and staff. You can create templates for recurring or similar events by defining the meetings typically required for that type of event. You can then use or modify the template for recurring or similar events that require similar meetings, resources, and staff. Event templates are optional; however, they can be useful guidelines that save time.
Note. You can create only one template per event type.
To create an event template, do the following:
Define the meetings for the event type.
Assign the resources for each meeting.
Assign the type of staff for each meeting.
Defining Campus Events
To define campus events, use the following components: Event Type Table component (EVENT_TYPE_TABLE), Resource Code Table component (RESOURCE_CD_TABLE), and Staff Code Table component (STAFF_CODE_TABLE).
This section discusses how to:
Define event types.
Define event resource codes.
