Applying Event Templates

Event Templates are useful for pulling in basic details on every offer like ticket scaling, costs, deal terms and more. Learn more about creating Event Templates here.

There are a couple of places where you can apply an Event Template to a hold or a confirmed event. 

From the Calendar

  1. When creating a new hold, click the "Create From Template (Optional)" dropdown and select which template to apply to your event. Note that only the templates for the respective event type (Regular/Talent Show vs OP Event/Rental) will appear in the 'Create From Template (Optional)' dropdown in the show builder.

From an Event

  1. Go to the three dot menu in the top right corner of the Event

  2. Hover over "Event Templates"

  3. Select "Apply Event Template" 

  4. Select a template from the dropdown menu on the pop up

  5. Select "Import" (Note that you can select which sections of the template you would like to import by using the check boxes.)

Notes on Applying Event Templates

Friendly reminder that applying an Event Template will replace all data in the event, unless 'Add Instead of Overwrite' has been toggled on for the Contacts, Fixed Costs, Variable Costs, or Task Templates sections. The toggle defaults can be configured on each template in your settings and can also be adjusted, if needed, at the time of application. Double check those settings and sure there isn't anything in the event that you do not want to lose! Once template has been applied and sections have been toggled to overwrite, previous data cannot be restored.

Applying Task Templates

Apply a Task Template on an Event

  1. Go to the three dot menu in the top right corner of the Event

  2. Hover over "Event Templates"

  3. Select "Apply Task Template" 

  4. Select a template from the dropdown menu on the pop up

  5. Select "Import Tasks" 

Notes on Applying Task Templates

  • Task templates by default are set to 'Add Instead of Overwrite,' but this can be adjusted with the toggle, if needed

  • If a Task Template has assignees, be sure those assignees have access to the event - otherwise, they won't be assigned.

  • If a Task Template has a relative due date (e.g., 5 days from Announce date), the date will only be applied if the relative date has been entered on the Event Page under Event Settings.
