u3a Venues
Data from venues and contacts is used in group pages so we are going to cover
these two things in that order. From the Dashboard go to the u3a Venues menu
on your training demo site and you will be able to view saved venues or add a
new one.

All Venues
Note that the name on the Dashboard begins ‘u3a’. This means it is special to
u3a. We have never had an area on our sites to store venue information until
now. Many of our u3as have venues that are used by multiple groups for
activities. This feature enables information about the venue to be stored and
called up when needed for an event or maybe a group meeting and the venue
data is populated from the venue record. This saves time as venue information
only needs to be added once. Your Migrator can assist with this initially if
necessary.
Click on All Venues to see those already created. You can extend the choice by
using the ‘Add New Venue’ option on the top line.

New Venues
Once you have added your initial venue list at migration time this is not an
activity that you will be performing every day but it is something you will no
doubt have to do at some stage so it is worth knowing how to do it. If you forget
how to do it you can always come back to this workbook and go through the
process again.

As part of your pre-migration activity you will be given access to a pre-migration
checklist and one of the actions is to collect the information below in advance
ready to be used at appropriate points when editing your group pages. When
adding a new venue you are presented with a form like this so that you can add
in the name of the venue with the address, postcode, and telephone number.
