Feature Overview: Events Calendar (Retail)

Retail (F&B optional)  ·  Yellow Dog Inventory 2026

 WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

The Events Calendar lets retail clients track sales by event, providing an additional layer of reporting detail. Use it whenever you have an event and need to associate sales data with that event.

Note: This feature is separate from the Concessions workflow.

 HOW IT WORKS

An event is created and managed in Common Setup > Events. Each event captures a description and a start and end date/time, with optional tags, facility, and notes. Once an event exists, its sales data can be analyzed through event-based reporting.

You can analyze event-related sales in either of the following ways:

•     Run Retail > Sales > By Event and use event tags to further filter results.

•     Use event tags to filter many other retail sales reports.

 KEY FEATURES

Event details

Each event records a description and a start and end date/time. Tags, facility, and notes can be added optionally.

Event tags

Tags can be created on the fly by selecting the Event Tags link, and can be used to filter the By Event report as well as many other retail sales reports.
