25Live allows you to add and edit requirements for calendars and other uses in the Master Definitions section of the System Settings area. Event publishing requirements allow 25Live Publisher users to specify which calendar(s) specific events should be published to. Other requirements for events are needs that are relevant to an event as a whole, such as a parking permit for an extension class or an alcohol permit for a theater reception.

You can create requirements for the following object types:

- Think of items that apply to the overall event

- Remember that quantities of requirements aren’t automatically decremented. If you need decrementing, create a resource instead

Editing Requirements
Both types of requirements allow you to edit the list or item with the following actions:
- Manually reorder items
- The Id number for each item is listed
- Edit the Name of the item
- Check or uncheck the Active status
- The Abridged checkbox controls if the item is only visible on an abridged list for users with limited permissions
- Check or uncheck Allow Comment
- "Other" requirement type only: Check or uncheck an option to Allow Quantity to be displayed on the Event Form
- Set Notification Policy (see more detail below)
- View the Usage of the item in events, searches, etc.
- Use the Report column to run the "Master Definition Usage - Excel" report to export usage information
- Delete the item (if it is not being used)
- Force Delete the item (even if it's being used) and remove all references (available only to Administrators in the (-1) security group)
Use Caution With Force Delete
The option to "force delete" a master definition item should be taken with care. Be advised that some searches may no longer function as expected until you edit them to remove references.
Tip: Manually Sorting Item Display Order
Animation: Drag the row to manually set the display order.
The default display order for master definition items is to show them in alphabetical order. You can set the order that items will display by clicking on the row and dragging up or down. Use the Save Sort button to save the order.
Notification Policy
Both requirement types have an additional editing option for setting notification policy. You can define a notification policy based on a particular event requirement. When a user creates an event with that requirement, the notification is automatically sent to the 25Live Task List of the user(s) specified in the notification policy.
Example: You could define a notification policy that sends an "Information Only" notification to the task list of the head of campus security every time an event is created with an alcohol permit requirement.

- The number of Days, Hours, and Minutes of the event creation date that approval is required within
- The ability to Add Contact for the policy
Use the Save button to save your choices.
