Initial enquiries for events often come well in advance, without the actual date having been finalised. However, a proper event must be created even at this early stage as a bsis for a first quote. If you save this as a "draft" without a fixed date, it will not appear in evaluations or in the room allocation at this early planning stage so as not to distort or hinder further planning. The date specified in the draft is only used as a reference to determine prices or segments.

1. Create a new event.
2. Click on the dropdown triangle next to the Date picker and select  Undated [Reference only].
3. The date is highlighted in yellow and the event is saved as an undated draft.
4. Drafts are not included in room reservations, considered in analyses or found in standard searches. Search for undated events by clicking on the dropdown triangle next to  Events, then select  Search >  Undated events.
5. Once the date for the event has been fixed, remove the "Undated" status by left-clicking the dropdown triangle next to the  Date picker and selecting  Undated event [Reference only] again, then enter the actual date.
