Profile & Preferences – Event Main Defaults Tab

Event Main Defaults


Default Venue

You may designate a default venue to automatically populate when a new event is booked in TPP.

  • Note: Off-site caterers would generally leave this blank

Default Staff as Invoiced

Do you charge your clients for staff when they are added to an event?

  • If so, mark this as Yes.

Default Service Style

A default Service Style can be set to be automatically added to any newly created events.

Example: If the majority of your business is Delivery, you would set this as the default

    • Leave this blank if you want to assign each time manually.
    • If you choose your most used Service Style to automatically assign, you can easily change this to a different Service Style at anytime at the event level.

Default Event Status

Assign a default status to apply to all new events.

Most TPP users set this to Proposal


Default Event Start Time and End Time

Default your event start and end times to AM or PM to make it quicker to choose the desired start time.
