Event Types are templates with extra features that are used to enhance the deployment of Units.
An Event Type is attached to a Unit, and this defines where the event is deployed. Event types allow single units to be reused for multiple unrelated events on the Roster.
Event Types contain event attributes that are not found on the Unit, or the Extra Unit in Setup. For example, the ability to change the name of the unit to anything upon deployment, or whether to display vacancy flags on the Calendar or Dashboard, and/or allow for employee sign-up and self-fill options.
Extra Units may be attached to an Event Type so that when the Deploy function is applied, the Extra Unit inherits the Event Type settings.
