Use the Events maintenance form in Cinema Manager and Head Office Manager to create and manage Events, records that represent occasions like film festivals for which films are screened and marketed together.
Note: The Events (webpage) form is a simplified version of the Events form which is still available in Head Office. For the extended form, see the Events form
Add events to Film and Session records to have your website create pages specific to particular events. Events are applied to films in Film Maintenance and to sessions in Showtime Manager.
