# Manage Event Types

Event Custom Types let you create and manage the list of custom **Class** and **Event** types shown to Customers in the PodPlay web app filters. Use this when you want Customers to be able to find specific kinds of community events (for example: “Beginner Clinic”, “Open Play”, or “Round Robin”).

## Where to find Event Custom Types

* Open **Company Settings**
* Stay on the **Overview** tab
* Scroll to **Community Event Settings**
* Find **Event Custom Types**

\[SCREENSHOT NEEDED: Company Settings > Overview page showing the Community Event Settings section with the “Event Custom Types” field]

## Create a new custom type

* In **Event Custom Types**, expand either **Class** or **Event**
* Click **New type**

\[SCREENSHOT NEEDED: Event Custom Types dropdown expanded, showing Class/Event branches and the “New type” action]

* In the drawer:
  * Enter the **Type Name**
  * Select a **Subtype**
  * Toggle **Show on Web App** on or off
* Click **Continue**

\[SCREENSHOT NEEDED: New type drawer showing Type Name, Subtype, and Show on Web App fields]

When you create a type, it becomes available immediately for use in your Community Events setup.

**PLEASE NOTE:** Type names must be unique and can only include letters, numbers, and spaces.

## Show or hide an existing type on the web app

* In **Event Custom Types**, select an existing type
* In the drawer, toggle **Show on Web App**
* Click **Continue**

\[SCREENSHOT NEEDED: Editing type drawer showing the Show on Web App toggle]

When **Show on Web App** is enabled, Customers can see this type in the public app’s advanced filters. When it’s disabled, the type is hidden from those filters.

## Save settings when done editing or creating new types

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.podplay.app/owners-playbook/build-your-club/company-settings/manage-event-types.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
