Members-Systems Help

Help Topic: Event Attributes

Events may have one or more attributes.

They can be displayed, created and removed from the Event Attributes page, which can be accessed either via the Manage Events page (Managing Events) or from the top of the Event Details and Participants page for that event (Members taking part in an event - Event Participants). They can also be created when an event is copied (again see Managing Events) from a previous event.

To add a new attribute, press the 'Add new attribute' button and create a name for the attribute and the associated text.

Attributes can edited or removed from the Event Attributes page when they are all displayed.

What are Event Attributes used for?

Since Members-Systems is a shared resource between you organisation's administrators, event attributes can be used to inform other users of details about the event, such as location, transport arrangements, accommodation and any other resource or logistics details about the event.

In a future enhancement to Members-Systems, you will be able to use event attributes in scheduled or current messages about the event to participants in the event. This will be especially useful for recurring group events (see Group Events) where a regular similar event (such as a sports fixture) has slightly varying details every week. A scheduled message (see Scheduled messages for an event) can be copied from event to event varying only in the details taken from the Event Attributes.
