Managing Related Lists in Lightning for Events Management

• Browser

To improve managing an event’s related records, for example, attendees, child events, and event speakers, organizers can view and sort each related list in their event. They can also edit certain fields of related records directly from the event.

For example, Sarah Jones hosts a large event with a large number of related records. She learns that one of her attendees, Bob Adams, recently updated his address. Sarah navigates to the Attendees related list of her event, sorts the list of records to locate Bob Adams’s account, then edits and saves his address directly from the Attendee related list view of the EM_Event_vod record.

Configuration

Lightning for Events Management must be enabled to use this feature.

Viewing and Sorting Related Records

Each related list on an EM_Event_vod record displays as a tab on the record.

Selecting the tab displays a table of all appropriate related records. The table header displays how many total records are in the related list, as well as how many records are currently selected via the check box in each row of the table.

Users can sort the related list by selecting the appropriate column to sort by.

You cannot sort by multi-select picklist, rich text area, or long text area fields.

Searching and Filtering in Lightning for Events Management Related Lists

With Lightning for Events Management enabled, event organizers can search and filter related lists on EM_Event_vod records. This enables organizers to quickly find records related to an event, as large events may also have large amounts of related records.

Searching Related Records

Each related list on an EM_Event_vod record displays with a search bar in the related list header.

Entering a search term into the search bar automatically searches all records in the related list, even if the records are not loaded into the related list.

   • EM_Event_Material_vod
   • Expense_Header_vod
