Edit event classifications
You can use the Event Classification Edit page to modify the details entered for an event classification. You can also change the menus and items associated with the event classification. Your changes do not affect existing events with that classification, but they do affect events created after the change is made.
Corporate-level event classifications cannot be modified by individual properties.
