3. To edit the general event order information, do the following:
   1. Expand the Selected Event Details pane.
      For more information, see Viewing event orders and events. 
   2. Edit the fields as necessary.
      For more information, see Selected Event Order pane - field descriptions.
      You can use the event information section to add the following information for the new event order:
      • Event order number
      • Name of the event order
      • Status of the event order
      • Start and end times for the event order.
