Event Details

Under Details, you can view and edit information about the event, such as its venue, fundraising goal, and capacity.

Lookup ID

Manage the custom identifier for the event’s record under Lookup ID. Use this identifier to confirm you have the correct event, such as when hosting multiple events with similar names.

Each event also includes a system identifier, which is separate from the custom identifier your organization adds, sometimes known as the primary key.

Note: In database view, you can add a lookup ID in the ID field on the General tab of an event’s record.

Category

Select the type of event under Category, such as golf tournament or annual fundraiser. To manage event categories, see Events Settings.

Note: Event types in database view are known as event categories in web view. The predefined event categories in database view — sporting event, dinner, class, and other — don't appear in web view unless you add them.

Select how your organization groups this event under Group, such as alumni events or training sessions. To manage event groups, see Tables.

Event goal

Enter the amount you plan to raise from the event under Event goal.

Capacity

Enter the number of people the venue allows under Capacity.
