Why does Dynamics have both table, "Building", name, "msevtmgt_building", and table, "Venue", name, "msevtmgt_venue"?
The marketing module, in the work area, "Event Planning", has a sub-area, "Venue management". But in Venue Management there is only the buildings entity, not the venue entity
All the guides and blogs talk about venues but when you create an event you are actually asked to add a building as the location.
This creates a new building record on the building table
But everytime you create or edit a building you also create or edit a venue, with the same details.
What is Venue for?

We want to add some custom fields to the location for our events. Does it matter if I add these to the building but not the venue?
What process keeps the building and venue in synch?

Thank you for your help. Guy

Hi @VaHiX, so if the two tables are kept in synch - why are there two tables? And how are they kept in synch? What process copies the data from one to the other?

Thank you. Guy

You can add custom fields to either the Building or Venue table, depending on your requirements. If you add custom fields to the Building table, you might need to ensure that these fields are also populated in the Venue table to maintain consistency.

To ensure consistency and avoid any discrepancies, it's a good practice to add the same custom fields to both the Building and Venue tables. This way, you can maintain a unified view of your event locations.
