Basics

• The Event Rooms and Groups Tool is a tool that allows you to add, update or cancel Rooms Reservations and Groups from a single Event or all Events in a Series.
• The tool will copy the selected subpage data to the remaining records in the recurring Series. For example:
  • I have a monthly Event that happens the 15th of every month.
  • Starting with the next Event in the Series, the Rooms the Event meets in is changing.
  • I use the Event Rooms and Groups Tool to change the next Event in the Series to reflect the change in Rooms.
  • I have already created my Event series, but to prepare for the new Check In Suite, I need to associate Groups with Rooms.
  • I use the Event Rooms and Groups Tool to add the Groups to all Rooms for the future Events in the Series.
• The Event Rooms and Groups Tool is available on Events page or from an open Event record.
