Master Event Name Maintenance

The Master Event Definition List is reached by clicking to the right of the event name field on the Add Event window.  (The Add Event window is displayed by clicking Add on the Information window to the right of the Events box.)  The Master Event Definition List is also available by choosing Master Lists / Event Definition from the View tab of the Ribbon bar.

The Master Event Definition List contains all the names of the events referred to by the individual event lists.  Each unique name is only included once in the master list.  To add a brand new event to an individual, you must first add the new event name to the Master Event Definition List.
