Event Custom Fields enable your team to track and share the exact details you need for your events, in the format that makes the most sense for your company.
By default, Events come with only the most basic fields built-in. Workspace Admins should take the time to set up additional Custom Fields to organize and streamline the data structure that will be used by all other Workspace members.
Event Info Fields
To view or edit Event Info Fields, or to set up Custom Fields, you must be a Workspace Admin. If you're an Admin, go to Org Reports & Settings > Settings > Events.
When you are first setting up a new account, the following fields will already be created for you and cannot be removed:
- Event Name
- Status
- Leader
- Location
- Description
Additionally, the following fields will be created but can be edited and turned on or off by using the toggle button:
- Types
- Roles
Setting up Custom Fields
In addition to the standard Event Info Fields listed above, Workspace Admins can create an unlimited number of Custom Fields and organize these into sections. The following field types are available:
- Text Input
- URL
- Number
- Amount
- Date
- Boolean
- Member Select
- Member Multiselect
- Single Select
- Multiselect
Creating and Managing Custom Fields
To add a new Custom Field:
- Click the blue "Add New Field" button
- Select the desired Field Type from the drop-down menu

Once you have created the new field, it will be added to the list of Event Info Fields and toggled to green, or on.

Creating and Managing Sections for Custom Fields
You may want to create various Sections to help organize the Custom Fields you create. To add a new Section:

A few notes:
