Event State Default

This option is used to specify a default event state (Draft, Tentative, or Confirmed) to apply initially to all events being created, regardless of whether the Event Form has been set up using the system default or a custom configuration.

About Default Event States

• The individual user preference set on the Event Form for the default event state will override this system-wide setting.
  • In addition, if the event state is no longer set in the user's security group's Event Form configuration, the user's preference will remain.
• The event state you select won’t appear for a security group that does not have that state available in their custom Event Form configuration.
• If a security group does not have access to that event state, members of the group will not be allowed to edit events with that state.
• Users can copy events with states they can't edit, but the state will be changed to one they can edit once the copy is opened in the Event Form.
• A user may be able to change the state default when multiple options are available unless the current custom Event Form configuration for the security group prohibits changes to the Event State editor.
