10. You can classify your event using the Categories and tags section.
    For more information, see Adding categories and tags to a content item.
    Classifying content helps you organize it. For more information about classifications, see Classifying your content.

    In the input fields that appear, enter contact details.
13. By clicking More options, you can change the following:
• The automatically generated URL of the event.
  To change it, click Change and enter a new URL name.
• Allow or forbid comments.
  To allow or forbid users to leave comments about the event, select or deselect the Allow comments checkbox.
• Configure multiple URLs for the event

  2. In the input box, enter the additional URLs that you want this event to have.
     Enter one URL per line.

     If you uncheck the checkbox, each URL will display the event without redirecting.
14. If you have added any custom fields for events, all created fields are displayed after the More actions section.
    Using custom fields, you can, for example, add a custom field Dresscode n image to the event.

    IMPORTANT: Some of the above fields may not be displayed when you create an event, because they have been hidden.

    For more information about creating custom fields and hiding default fields, see Adding custom fields to content items.

15. Before you finish creating an event, you can preview it by clicking the Preview button in the toolbar. 
    The event opens in its default page. If there is no default page, it means the event is not displayed anywhere on the site and you cannot preview it.
    To see which the default page for the event is, expand Pages in the right side. The page on the top of the list is the default page. For more information about viewing and setting default pages, see Default pages for content items.
16. When you are finished creating the event, you must set its status, using the buttons on top and at the bottom of the event. For more information, see Setting the status of a new page or content item.
