What are the additional options next to the Event Name and Brief and how do I set these?

What is the issue you're facing?

I have some additional options to the right of the event brief. What are these?

Solution

If you company has setup custom fields, you may see additional options to the right of the event brief when you are creating an event. These can be used to help categorize your event. 

These can be setup in multiple different ways and may or may not be mandatory. If it is mandatory you will see a red star next to it like you can see in the highlighted screenshot below and you will not be able to save the event until something is entered in this field. If it is not marked as mandatory you do not have to put anything here. 

If you need to select an option that is not available or you don't think something is correct you will need to contact your superhost so that they can look at this for you and raise to Market Dojo support if needed.
