Package Categories

Package Categories in EventKey are used to organize your event packages into logical groups, making it easier for users to quickly locate the appropriate package when attaching it to an Event Record. By assigning each package to a relevant category—such as "Breakfast," "Audio/Visual," or "Full-Day Meeting"—your team can streamline the event planning process and reduce time spent searching through long lists of packages. Well-structured categories also help maintain consistency across events and improve overall efficiency when building or managing event records.
