How do I associate my section with a status?

After creating fields and linking them to sections, you can ensure that the fields are only visible if an event is at certain status when viewed from the Event > Details page.

To do this, link statuses to sections. Click on Edit, select the section you want to add a status to, and choose the desired status from the Minimum status progression drop-down menu. This way, only users with the linked status can view the fields associated with that section.

To view the sections withholding a certain status, click on Edit, then select the Event Type (which is the category in which you created your event statuses) and then proceed to select the desired Event status. After you have selected the event status, refresh your page and scroll down to see the fields within the sections that withhold the status you selected.
