Managing Event Details
Your own fields on a wedding, grouped into categories and edited in place.
The Event Details tab is where a wedding carries the specifics your venue cares about — the officiant's name, the bar package, whether the arch is going up on the lawn. It is built entirely from fields you define, so it starts empty and becomes whatever you make it.
Where the fields come from
Fields live under Fields in the main navigation, not inside a wedding. You define categories there, put fields in them, and every wedding shows the same structure.
If nothing is set up, the tab says No fields set up yet. You can build the structure from here too — Manage Fields opens the same editing, and there is a quick-start option that imports a ready-made set of categories to adapt.
Using the tab
Categories are collapsible sections; click a heading to open or close it.
Editing is in place. Click a value, change it, then click away — the field saves itself and flashes SAVED. There is no form and no save button.
Two controls sit at the top:
- Search fields... finds a field by name without opening every category.
- Hide Blank collapses everything still empty, which is the fastest way to see what is actually filled in on a busy wedding.
Field types
Fifteen types are available when you build a field:
| Type | What you get |
|---|---|
| Text Input | One line |
| Text Area | Several lines |
| Number | Numeric, with optional limits and decimals |
| Currency | A money value |
| Date · Time · Date & Time | Pickers |
| Dropdown | One choice from a list you define |
| Multi-select | Several choices from that list |
| Radio Buttons | One choice, all options visible |
| Checkbox | Yes or no |
| Rating | A star scale |
| Phone · Email · URL | Text that expects a particular shape |
Dropdown, Multi-select and Radio need their options defined when you create the field.
What it does not do
- Nothing is required. A blank field is just blank; nothing chases it and nothing validates that a wedding is complete.
- It does not affect readiness. The readiness score is built from contracts, payments, tasks and the three finalization flags — not from how much of this tab is filled in.
- Fields are venue-wide. Adding one adds it to every wedding, including past ones. There is no per-wedding field.
Practical use
- Make a field the moment you notice you are asking every couple the same question. That is the whole purpose of the tab.
- Prefer Dropdown over Text Input for anything you will later want to count. Free text cannot be grouped.
- Keep categories few and obvious. Ten categories with two fields each is harder to work than four with five.
- Use Hide Blank in the week of a wedding to see the gaps at a glance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I create fields? On the Fields page in the main navigation, or through Manage Fields on this tab — both edit the same definitions.
Will a new field appear on weddings I have already booked? Yes, empty, on all of them.
Can a couple fill these in? No. This tab is internal. To collect answers from the couple, send a questionnaire.
