Rule set assignment

How events find the right rule set on their own — so you're not pairing them up one by one.

The short version: instead of attaching a set to each event by hand, you write a few conditions — by title, location, date, or promoter — and every event that matches inherits the set automatically, today and in the future.

01

Why it exists#

A rule set is only useful once it's attached to the right events. Doing that by hand for a full calendar is tedious and easy to get wrong — and it breaks the moment a new event shows up that nobody has assigned yet.

The Assignment tab solves that. You describe which events a set should cover, once, and any event that fits the description picks up the set on its own — including events that don't exist yet.

02

Building a condition#

Each condition reads like a sentence: If [field] [operator] [value]. For example, "If Location → Country is South Korea", or "If Event title contains [name]".

  • Operators depend on the field. "Contains" or "Is" for text; comparisons for dates.
  • Chain them together. Combine several conditions with AND / OR to narrow things down exactly.
  • Assisted search. In fields like country, type at least 2 characters to search and pick the value.

What you can match on#

FieldMatches events by
PromoterTheir promoter.
Event titleWords in the title — contains or equals.
Location → CountryCountry.
Location → State/ProvinceState or province.
Location → CityCity.
Location → VenueVenue name.
DateWhether the event date meets your condition.
04

The safety net#

i
The "Default Rules" set picks up every event that doesn't match any other assignment condition. It's the safety net — no event is ever left without rules, even if you forget to write a condition for it.
05

Check before you save#

Before you save, hit Test rules and an "Events found" window shows you exactly which events your conditions catch. If nothing matches, it says so plainly. It's the quick way to confirm a set will land precisely where you intend — no surprises later.
