This article will show you the available field categories and how to manage them.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Here you will find the various system fields that are available in Event Temple.

Each Field will have default/recommended options already available. You will also be able to add other fields if required.

Selections on fields can be used for reporting purposes.

For organizations that are part of a Chain, there is the option to add the options to the whole chain, or specific Organization/s.

Types of Fields

Revenue Categories

Revenue Categories can be attached to Menu Items. These categories help you report on revenue by type. They also help to display the right menu items in the right section of your Documents automatically.

Revenue categories fall under 5 default Revenue Groups. These are, food, beverage, AV, Room Rental and Miscellaneous.

You can have as many Revenue Categories as you like that will belong to a parent Revenue Group. This adds extra layers to your reporting; allowing you to Report on Revenue Categories themselves or the Parent Revenue Groups. And the reverse effect if you'd rather show multiple categories together, for example in a BEO you can add 'beverage' rather than multiple revenue categories of 'hard liquor, beer & wine, non-alcoholic'.

  • If your organization is part of a Chain, by default, when created, these options will be accessible to everyone in the Chain. However, Chain Administrators have the option to make any of these values available to specific organizations within the chain when setting them up.

  • If a Setup Value is removed from an Organization, any Booking/Items assigned will remain as they are, however, users will no longer be able to select it when adding/editing.
