Event Timeline

The following time designators are used for an event in EMS:

  • Event Time: The time period during which the event actually takes place.

  • Setup/Teardown Hours: The hours, or fractions of hours, that you add to the event time to allow staff to prepare a room for the event or to clean up after the event.

  • Reserved Time: The total time for which the space (the where) is reserved. This time is the event time plus the setup/teardown time.

For example:
