The codes on the events are used by both the IT and finance teams to categorize events. There are many scripts and automations that will fail if these codes are not used correctly. Keywords in the event titles drive the helpdesk processes, finance team metric process, or are based on previous feedback from our members. Events may also not show up in the Events-by-Category view in the portal if codes are not used correctly.
Though strongly discouraged, codes can be combined since multi-disciplined classes are of high value to the community. These codes are especially significant since they are used to unlock budgets for shops and programs at Nova Labs by allocating a percentage of the aggregated dollars to the teams for new purchases and upgrades to their shops and programs.
