Setting event locations using predefined lists helps maintain consistency and accuracy across an organisation, reducing errors and duplication. This feature is especially useful for roles like Trainers who manage multiple events, ensuring that all locations are standardised and easy to track.
Administrators can enable Restrict Location Permissions and add predefined locations through configuration options. This control streamlines event management and supports better reporting on event venues.
To learn how to enable this feature, watch the video or follow the steps below.
Switch to admin view
Click Content, then select All Content.
Click Events, then click the Configuration Options tab.
Toggle on Restrict Location Permission and click Save.
Click Add Location.
Enter the address details then click Confirm.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 to add further locations as needed.
Locations added are listed in the Locations section and available to the event creator in a list.
Administrators can manage locations within the Locations section, by using the pencil icon to edit or the trash icon to delete a location.
📌 Note: If free text fields are used when creating Events, then choosing to enable the restrict location permission, all previously created event locations will remain visible for reporting purposes. Any new Events only have access to the predefined list of locations.
