Filters

These filters can help you narrow the list of visible events to a specific segment or to help you locate a specific event.

   When naming an Event, Beamery recommends using underscores (_) rather than hyphens (-) to ensure your events are properly indexed and searchable by title. 

2. Type - filter by event type: Careers fair, Campus, Conference, Meetup, Network, or Other.
3. Status - filter by event status: Upcoming, Happening now, or Past.
4. Date - choose a date range to see all events with dates within that range.

6. Owner - filter by a list of your organization's users.
7. Custom Fields - filter for specific responses to one of your Custom Event Fields. Using this filter will show all responses to your Event custom fields in the Events List table. There is no limit to the number of Custom Event Fields.

Event Custom Fields

With Events Custom Fields, you can create an event taxonomy that works for you — whether that’s by topic, audience, target schools, speakers or more — and tag your events accordingly to make them easier to find and report on.

Event Custom Fields allow you to add extra information to an event, for better filtering, segmentation, reporting and cross-team collaboration. To learn more about using Events Custom Fields, click here.
