Event Settings Reference

This reference covers every field available in the Event Info tab and the event creation wizard. All values are stored in Salesforce as fields on the conference360__Event__c object — Forge reads and writes them in real time.

🖼️ In the Forge app: The Event Info tab for Planner Conference 2026, showing all core settings fields.

Basic Information

Field	What it controls	Notes	SF field
Event Name	The public-facing title shown on the registration page and all emails	Shown in the browser tab, og:title, and all transactional emails	Name
Event Start Date / Time	When the event begins — drives countdown timers and calendar links	All dates stored in UTC; displayed in the event timezone	conference360__Event_Start_Date__c
Event End Date / Time	When the event concludes — used for post-event automations	Must be after Start Date	conference360__Event_End_Date__c
Timezone	Controls how dates and times are displayed to registrants	Stored as a standard timezone identifier (e.g. America/New_York)	conference360__Time_Zone__c
Venue Name	Physical location name shown on the registration page and in confirmation emails	There is no single Location Type picklist — whether an event is treated as virtual, in-person, or hybrid is inferred from whether Venue and Webinar fields are populated	conference360__Venue_Name__c
Venue Address	Street address of the physical venue — also powers the embedded map on the event page	Used to generate a Google Maps link in the confirmation email	conference360__Venue_Street__c / Venue_City__c / Venue_State_Province__c / Venue_Postal_Code__c / Venue_Country__c
Streaming URL	The virtual attendance link sent to registrants for virtual or hybrid events	Shown in the confirmation email and attendee portal	conference360__Streaming_Service_URL__c
Event Description	Rich-text description shown on the public registration page	Supports basic HTML formatting; avoid embedding images directly	conference360__Description__c

Status and Visibility

These settings control who can see and register for your event. Getting the combination right is important before you start promoting.

Field	What it controls	Typical use case	SF field
Status	Draft, Active, Canceled, or Completed — gates attendee access and reporting	Set to Active before publishing; set to Completed after the event to freeze registrations	conference360__Status__c
Visible (Public)	When enabled, the event appears on your public event listing and can be found via direct URL	Disable to hide the event while still allowing direct-link registrations	conference360__Visible__c
Hide Register Button	Suppresses the registration button on the event page without removing the page itself	Use for manual-only enrollment (e.g. invite-only events where staff register attendees)	conference360__Hide_Register_Button__c
Registration Open Date	The earliest date and time at which registration becomes active	Leave blank to open registration immediately when Status = Active	conference360__Registration_Start_Date__c
Registration Close Date	Cutoff after which new registrations are rejected	Useful for catering deadlines or pre-event logistics windows	conference360__Registration_End_Date__c

Registration Modes

Three registration modes emerge from the combination of Visible and Hide Register Button: Public (Visible=true) lets anyone find and register; Invite-Only (Visible=false) allows registration only via direct link; Manual (Visible=false + Hide Register Button) means staff must register all attendees from within Forge.

Capacity and Waitlist

Field	What it controls	Notes	SF field
Attendee Limit	Hard cap on total registrations across all ticket types	When reached, new registrations are automatically placed on the waitlist if enabled	conference360__Attendee_Limit__c
Enable Waitlist	When checked, registrants beyond the capacity limit are added to a Waitlisted status rather than being turned away	Waitlisted attendees can be promoted individually from the Attendees tab	conference360__Waitlist_Enabled__c
Waitlisting Method	Whether the waitlist cap is enforced at the Event level or per Event Ticket	Per-ticket waitlisting lets one sold-out ticket type waitlist while others remain open	conference360__Waitlisting_Method__c

Campaign and CRM Linkage

Field	What it controls	Notes	SF field
Salesforce Campaign	Links the event to a standard Salesforce Campaign for reporting and member sync	Registrations create Campaign Members on the linked Campaign	conference360__Campaign__c

:::(Note) (Salesforce Campaign Sync)
Every confirmed registrant creates or updates a CampaignMember record on the linked Salesforce Campaign. This allows you to use standard Salesforce reporting, list views, and automation on your event audience. The Campaign link is optional — events without a Campaign still create Attendee records.
:::

Gateway and Payments

Field	What it controls	Notes	SF field
Payment Gateway	The payment processor used when tickets are purchased	Must be configured in Global Options before it appears here; supports Stripe, Authorize.Net, and others	conference360__Payment_Gateway__c
Currency	ISO currency code for ticket prices	Defaults to the gateway's configured currency; cannot be changed after the first paid registration	conference360__Currency__c

Advanced / Miscellaneous

Field	What it controls	Notes	SF field
Event Group	Associates this event with a group for shared navigation and cross-event reporting	Event groups appear in the sidebar and power multi-event ticket bundles	conference360__Event_Group__c
Color Theme	Applies a color scheme override to the public registration page	Stored on the event's related Event Settings record, not on the Event itself	conference360__Event_Settings__c.Color_Theme__c
Confirmation Email Template	Which email template auto-sends when an Attendee's Registration Status becomes Registered — leaving it blank means no confirmation email is sent	This lookup is what controls whether a confirmation email sends at all; there is no separate on/off toggle	conference360__Confirmation_Email__c
Allow Attendee Edit	Permits registrants to update their AttendeeLink form answers via the attendee portal after registration	Does not allow ticket type changes; only form field edits. Stored on Event Settings, not the Event itself	conference360__Event_Settings__c.Allow_Attendee_Edit_AttendeeLink_fields__c
