Create Filters and Categories

Organizing your events using filters makes it easier for participants to find what they're looking for. These options function like tags or keywords.

  • You must be a Go Method admin to do this.

Categories and filters are used on the public event listing page to help sort and specify your events. This helps your potential participants find your event or trip more easily. For example, for a Ministry category, you could have filters for Adult, Family, Youth, Kids, and more, or for a Destinations category, you could have Europe, Africa, Asia, and more.
