Events module: building tables

Gabrielle ReadHess

Hello all!


We are just beginning to learn and build out the Events module and it would be so helpful to see some examples of how other orgs are using some of these fields and what data you have found important to track in an event!


If you are using the following fields in the Events module, can you please list the values you have set in that table?

• Event Attributes
• Event Notepad Types
• Event Menu
  • How do you keep this list from becoming overwhelmed with different menu items as they differ from event to event? I am wondering if broader categories would be more appropriate than specific dishes, such as Meat, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free, etc?
• Registrant Participation
• Registrant Status
• Registrant Attributes
• Registrant Dinner Preference
  • How do you use this in conjunction with the event menu?

Thank you very much for your input! I feel I have a good understanding of how the module works, but building all these fields from scratch can be difficult without seeing how others use them!

I know this post is 4 years old now, I am also just starting to use the Event Module in both Raiser's Edge 7 and NXT and would love to now what Event Types and Groups others created.
