If information is not provided within the creation of a new event the values will default to those entered within this section.

Note: It is recommended to save your defaults after filling out the Values on each of the associated pages, as listed below. This will ensure that you do not lose the entered information if your session times out.

GeneralThis is the default menu when you open the Default Values page. This menu allows you to set the basic "what, where, who-gets-the-money" template for your events. These values can all be changed when you create a new event, but these will be the defaults for new events in the future.
