Overrides
In Summit Events, the standard functionality calls for each instance to utilize details from the parent event record. While you can control the date, time and capacity on an instance, the location details, Alternative Registration URL link, Feed Registration Button Text and Fees are read from parent event. As an event manager, you may be creating different instances of the same event, but some may be virtual. Rather than creating an entirely new event record, you can control certain fields that impact the individual instance.
Steps to Leveraging Overrides
Leveraging overrides is as simple as inputting a value in a field that ends in “Override” on the Event Instance record. These fields will typically be in the “Overrides” section on the page layout. If you don’t see these fields, you may need to update your page layout.
Expectations and Examples
You should expect that the override fields utilized will update on the registration page layout as well as map appropriately to the registration record. Below is an example of how the registration page will change based on an Instance Override. In the example below, there is a single Event record with 2 Instance records. You’ll be able to see this as part of the Registration Views.
| Admin View | Registrant View | |
|---|---|---|
| Event w/out Overrides |  |  |
| Event w/ Instance Overrides |  |  |
