Configuring Item Templates

Prerequisites for Configuring Item Templates

Item Templates are groupings of catering resources that alleviate the time consuming task of adding several items to an event. You can use templates to create groupings of any items that would normally be used together. For instance, if most meeting and conference events require an LCD projector, a wireless lapel microphone, and a viewing screen, you can group these items together using an item template. With item templates, items can be grouped together regardless of item class. This simplifies the task of adding item resources to events by eliminating the need to add items one at a time.
