Managing Sub Events

Prerequisites for Managing Sub Events

When the Sub Event OPERA Control is active, you can link events together as master and sub events; allowing for changes made to the Expected, Guaranteed, Actual attendees, Space and Setup Style fields in a master event to be automatically applied to sub events with matching event data.  For example, when the Expected attendees is updated to 35 on a master event, the Expected attendees on the sub events is also updated. In multi-property operations, sub events and the master event must exist for the same property.

When generating the Banquet Event Order, the Event Printing Method option determines if the master and sub events output together.

You can convert regular events to sub events, or convert sub events to regular events.
