Inline Editing Organization Details

Use the Edit Mode toggle at the top of any event, location, resource, or organization details view to turn on or off the ability to edit fields inline. When the toggle is on, edit icons appear next to many fields. Turn the toggle off to protect fields from accidental edits.

Guidelines For Adding Organizations

  • Because the organization name may appear in event web calendars you publish using the 25Live Publisher, make sure the name would make sense to the general public and complies with your organization naming conventions
  • You may want to review your Organization Types and Categories master definitions and possibly add new items to them for selection here. Having good types and categories can greatly assist 25Live users in finding organizations in the Event Form
  • If you’ll be using the Schedule25 Optimizer, you may add up to four partition preference groups for the organization. The Optimizer uses partition preferences to limit its location search to only the specific locations preferred by the organization. If you don’t add partition preference groups, the Schedule25 Optimizer assumes all partitions are equal and will assign locations from any partition available to it

Some comment fields are large text fields and can only display plain text, such as those used in event details.

Rich text comment fieldImage: Location and Resource comment fields accept HTML and/or rich text. 

Some comment fields use rich text editors for inline editing that can render styles, images, and some HTML (such as links or embedded elements). Examples of uses include adding emphasis to text, images of resources, or 360-degree views of locations. Look for the rich text menus and controls to tell if the field accepts styled elements.

Dropdown Menu Fields

To edit any fields in Details views displayed as a drop-down menu, simply tap or click on the menu then scroll to select a choice. Some fields, such as Event Type, contact roles such as the Scheduler and Requestor, and Organization use a search field to make selecting your choice easier.
