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.

      • Event order number.
      • Name of the event order.
      • Status of the event order.
