Tip

  2. Add the event name;

  3. Select if guests usually arrive on the day before the event;

  4. Add the event’s dates, if available, for current, past 3 and next 3 years by clicking on the + button.

  5. Click on the ✅ button to save.

In the events page, tab event filters, go to the Event Filter Performance, there you will be able to press the COMPUTE button, that will calculate the events' performance. Try to reach a score of 30 or below - the lower, the better.
