Linking Events

After creating an event, you can link two or more events so that when one finishes, the other starts (for example, a baseball double header). The linked child event (Game 2) inherits the attributes of the parent event (Game 1), including revenue centers, event areas, and menu levels.

  1. Select the property, click Configuration, and then click Event Definitions.
  2. Double-click the event record to open it in form view.
  3. Click the Links tab.
  4. To create a subsequent (child) event for the selected event, select Add Linked Event, and then click Yes at the confirmation.
  5. Double-click the linked event record.
  6. From the Linked Event Details dialog, enter information as described in the following table:

    Table 49-5 Linked Event Details Fields

    Field Description

    Event Code

    You cannot enter a value. The application appends the short code with an automatically generated code to make the event code value unique.

    Short Code

    Enter the alphanumeric event code for the event.

    Event Name

    Enter a descriptive name for the event.

    (Optional) Attendance

    Enter the number of people attending the event. You can enter this number during or after the event.

    Event End

    Enter the end date and time for the event.
  7. Click the Save Changes button.

    Linked events are not available in the event search list and do not appear in full in the Event Definitions module table view.
