How to Configure Event Categories Online

Categories can be set up for members and staff to easily search for events (Dining, Golf, Social etc.) Categories are setup in JAM/Encore Event Management > Event Types.

Reminder: on the website they are called categories and in JAM/Encore they are referred to as Event Types.

On the website, the Category can be assigned a color to easily find events on the calendar. If a color is assigned, a colored circle will appear before the event name. Once a color is assigned to one category the same color cannot be assigned to another one.
