Venues: Add and Edit

Venue Add

If you are a new organization to the EventFinder the first thing you must do is add your venue(s) information so that the venue is on the list available when you enter an event. You will only have to enter information for each venue once. After entering your venue it will become immediately available as a selection in your basic event information screen.

Note: Your venue may already be listed in the EventFinder. To find out if your venue is already listed within the system choose the “view more venues” link on the basic event information screen. If your venue does not appear in the alphabetical list you will need to add it. Click the “add it now” option and fill in the venue information.

OR if you are not in the event add or edit mode Click on VENUE from the Primary Navigation options. Choose the link “Create a new venue.” Enter your venue information.

All required fields are indicated by a red asterisk. Although not all fields are required it is best to provide as much information as possible.

Once you have entered your venue(s) information you will see a list of all the current venues for which you can update information. Any venues you enter will appear as default options on your basic event information screen.

If your event is not at one of your venues you are still able to select from the entire list of venues but you will not be able make changes to venues that your organization did not enter into the EventFinder.

There may be multiple organizations that share the same venue in your area. For example: In Columbus, the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts manages multiple venues (Ohio Theatre, Palace Theatre, Riffe Center theatres, etc.) and each of those venues is used by many arts organizations (BalletMet Columbus, The Columbus Symphony, CATCO, etc.). CAPA entered the venue information initially and CAPA is the only organization that can edit information about those venues. But all arts organizations have access to choose any of CAPA's venues as the location for their events.

While entering or editing an event If you need to choose a venue that is not in your list (one that was entered by another organization) click on the link “view more venues” and all venues in the system will be available to you through a drop down box.
