How to manage your team event type options from the dedicated Event Config page

Event Config

Event Config is where you manage the list of event types available to your team — things like Sport, Motorsport, and Music. Set it once, and it applies everywhere events are created or edited across your account.

Overview

When your team creates or edits an event, the Type field shows a dropdown of options. Event Config is where you control what those options are.

Previously, event type options were configured inside each individual configuration template. They're now managed in a single place at the team level, which means any changes you make here are immediately reflected across the whole application — you don't need to update each template separately.

Team Plan required. Event Config is only available on a Team Plan subscription. If you don't see the Event Config option in your sidebar, check your team's current subscription level.


Before You Start

  • You must be a team administrator or team owner to access Event Config.
  • The feature requires a Team Plan subscription.

Getting to Event Config

  1. Open the sidebar and expand the Configuration section.
  2. Click Event Config.

You'll land on the Event Configuration page for your team.


The Event Type Options List

The page shows your current list of Event Type Options — one option per row. By default, five options are pre-configured:

  • Sport
  • Motorsport
  • Music
  • Equestrian
  • Other

Each option row has three action buttons on the right: an up arrow, a down arrow, and a delete button (the red bin icon).

Adding an Event Type

  1. In the New event type... field at the bottom of the options list, type the name of the new event type.
  2. Either click the Add button, or press Enter.

The new option appears at the bottom of the list and is saved automatically.

Duplicate values are silently ignored — if you try to add an option that already exists, nothing will happen. Check the existing list before adding.


Editing an Existing Option

You can edit any option's name directly in its text input field.

  1. Click into the text field for the option you want to change.
  2. Edit the text.
  3. Click or tab away from the field to save.

The change is saved automatically as soon as you leave the field.


Reordering Options

The order of options here is the order they'll appear in the Type dropdown when creating or editing an event.

To move an option:

  • Click the up arrow button to move it one position up the list.
  • Click the down arrow button to move it one position down the list.

The buttons are disabled when an option is already at the top or bottom of the list. Changes are saved automatically after each move.


Removing an Option

Click the red delete button (bin icon) on the right of any option row to remove it.

The option is removed immediately and the list is saved automatically.

You must always have at least one event type option. The delete button is disabled when only one option remains in the list.

Removing an option does not affect existing events that are already set to that type — those records retain their saved value. The removed option simply won't be available for selection on new or future events.


Restoring Defaults

If you want to start fresh, click Restore Defaults at the bottom of the page.

This resets your event type options back to the five standard values:

  • Sport
  • Motorsport
  • Music
  • Equestrian
  • Other

Any custom options you've added will be removed. A confirmation toast notification appears once the reset is complete.

Tips

  • Keep the list focused. Only include event types that are genuinely relevant to the kinds of events your team operates at. A shorter, accurate list makes the dropdown easier to use under pressure.
  • Order matters. Put the most commonly used event types at the top so they're quick to find. If your team primarily covers motorsport events, move Motorsport to the first position.
  • Changes apply immediately. As soon as you save a change, it's live for all team members. There's no need to publish or push the update — it takes effect the next time anyone opens the event creation or edit form.

Troubleshooting

I can't see Event Config in the sidebar. This feature requires a Team Plan subscription. If you're on a free plan or a plan that doesn't include the team tier, the menu item won't appear. Check your team's plan under Billing Portal in the Configuration section of the sidebar, or contact your team owner.

I can't access Event Config even though I have a Team Plan. Only team administrators and owners can access this page. If you're a standard team member, you won't see it. Ask your team owner to grant you administrator access if you need to manage event configuration.

The delete button on an option is greyed out. You must keep at least one event type option in the list at all times. The delete button is disabled when only one option remains. Add another option first, then remove the one you don't need.

I edited an option name but the change isn't showing when creating events. Make sure you clicked or tabbed away from the text field after editing — the save happens when the field loses focus. If it still hasn't updated, try refreshing the app.
