Event custom fields

What is this?

Custom fields extend the standard event fields with your own club-specific information — for example directions, fee, dress code, on-site contact, GEMA-relevant data.

Examples of custom fields

• Directions — route description or parking notes
• Dress code — black/white, costume, club uniform
• Fee — payment per performance (internal or transparent)
• On-site contact — phone number of the organizer
• GEMA notice — performance rights checked (yes/no)
• Catering — food organized (yes/no)
• Soundcheck time — when do you need to be there

How to use custom fields

Create fields (once per choir):

1. Open the choir → Administration → Field management
2. Click "New field"
3. Choose type: text, number, date, select, yes/no
4. Visibility: all members, board only, note only
5. Required or optional, applicable to events, members or both

Fill in on the event:

1. Open the event → Edit or directly in the custom fields section
2. Enter field values
3. Save — members see the values depending on visibility

Permission

Define fields: ensemble.edit (board). Fill fields per event: events.edit.

Tip

Keep the number of custom fields manageable — five well-maintained fields bring more than twenty empty ones. Better offer different fields per event type (rehearsal, performance).
