Event Themes are hard-coded into the system, meaning administrators cannot change, edit add, or delete them. There are 9 themes in total, selected based on overarching event types common across campuses. The event themes are Arts and Music, Athletics, Cultural, Fundraising, Group Business, Learning, Service, Social and Spirituality. Every event must be tied to one and only one event theme.

Unlike themes, Event Categories are customizable for each campus and can be managed by community administrators. Event categories allow you and your users to classify events in ways that are relevant to your campus community. Try to build event categories that are more specific to the types of events your campus creates, such as "Greek Life" or "Professional Development." Also unlike themes, users can tag their events with multiple categories.

Event categories also provide additional options for administrators, such as the ability to create "hidden" categories that can be used as administrative-use-only tags for events. Many campuses will use hidden event categories to support their Co-Curricular Paths, or will tag events according to report data they may want to pull at the end of the semester or the end of the year.
