Creating Event Statuses

This article explains the steps for creating event statuses.  An event may need to have statuses created if they have not been configured as part of the template used to create the event. Statuses for an event should be Planned, Active, and Closed.

You will need to have your event in edit mode.  You can refer to Editing an existing event if needed.

Step-by-step guide

1.  On the left-side navigation of Event Builder, click Statuses.



2.   To add a status, click/select the + New Status.


3.  Enter the Status Name by clicking/selecting the box below status name and enter the name.  This is a required field as indicated by the red asterisk "*".
