Overview
PATH: Events > Organizations
An organization is a customer, organization, or another entity used in event scheduling to which one or more individual contacts are associated.
Coursedog allows institutions to define organizations by creating these groups in-app and maintaining contacts for each.
Both the organization and contact record are used during event scheduling.
These organizations are used to schedule events and help categorize events.
Creating a New Organization
Overview
You can add organizations manually (directions below) or via CSV.
To add via CSV, reach out to your Project Manager.

Public Organizations – Appear on the public-facing events website, allowing users to filter and search for public organizations.
