We have a database of events we are hosting, and want to use the Location field to specify the event’s venue. For example, we’re hosting one at Pizza School NYC.
It would be nice if the field allowed us to specify that, and if I could type “pizza school nyc” in the auto-suggest for the location editor. Unfortunately, it is not possible. We are settling for using a simple text field for specifying the venue, which offers some limitations.
One way of dealing with this is to create a separate database for the venues. Within that database you can have the location field as well as other information about each venue. You can then setup a relation between the events and venues, so that way you can choose the venue by name and have the location automatically show up through a lookup field.
This approach might be more efficient long term since you have to define venues once. This also allows you to find events at each venue (perhaps using the calendar view).
