Add an Event to an Event Category

To add an Event to an Event Category:

1. Select Communities from the top navigation bar, then select Communities > Events from the side navigation menu. The Events screen is displayed. By default, List View is selected.

2. Search for and select the desired Event (see Search for an Event for more information on the available search options). The Event Details screen is displayed, with the Definition tab displayed by default.

3. Within the header area of the screen, click the Edit icon. The Edit Event pop-up window is displayed. 

4. From the Categories drop-down menu, select the desired Event Category. Optionally repeat this step to assign the Event to multiple Categories.

5. Click Save.
