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 form is an extended version of the Events (webpage) form. For the simplified form, see the Events (webpage) 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.
