Creating and Editing Events
Events are specific folders with additional metadata. An event holds the sessions that you create for a specific production. Each event is identified by a dedicated event icon in the Sessions view directory.
The basic steps in creating an event are:
• (Option) Create a folder and name it.
• Create an event.
Note the following:
• You can create an event within or outside a folder. Within an event, you can create folders and sessions.
• You can delete only empty folders and events; you cannot delete an event that contains sessions or a folder that contain sub-folders or events.
