Every Teamup Calendar comes with certain default event fields. You can configure these event fields to be more useful for the purpose of your calendar. You can also add custom event field(s). There are different types of custom fields (choice, numerical, and text entry).
When an event field is required, calendar users cannot create or edit an event without that required field being completed. So you can make a field required in order to keep events from being created or saved without certain necessary information. For example: task status, assigned person, location/address, project number, event type, etc.
Here are a few ways to use a required custom choice field.
You can make a default event field or a custom event field required. If an event field is required, users cannot create a new event without completing the field (e.g. adding content to the field).
👩💻Calendar administrators: To make an event field required, go to Settings > Event Fields. Click the Edit icon next to a field.
Scroll to the Required section and check the Yes box.
Then click the green Save button.
Repeat this process for any other event field(s) you want to make required. You can change the Required option for any event field by checking the No box in the Required section.
When you make a field required, events that have already been created will remain on the calendar, as-is, whether or not the required field has been completed on those events. However, when someone modifies one of these events, they will be required to complete the field before their changes can be saved.
