If you have Events enabled on your system and you're looking at using it to its full advantage, there are a few things that will need to be configured before you can start using this. There are 4 main bits within Events that need configuring, these 4 things are:
Category.
Event Resources.
All of the above are access from the same area on the system, Settings, Module Settings and then Events.
Location
The location is where the event will be taking place.
Category
What type of event are you going to be adding to the rota?
This is defined with the category that you setup within your settings.
Event resources
The resources can include food, beverage, equipment etc.
Event resource types
The resource types are what will be sitting within the event resources. For instance, if you have a resource called Food, within the food resource, you can add what types of food you would be looking at distributing at this event.
