Interest Codes are used to record additional information about individuals and their areas of interest. When an interest code is added to an event and an individual registers for the event, an implied interest will be populated on the Interests child form under the Misc tab of the Individual’s profile.

Using the Event interests and Faculty interests child form on an Event profile, you can add and update Event and/or Faculty interest information for the Event record.

The following section describes the steps to add and edit interest information for an event in NetForum.

Adding Interest

To add Interest information:

1. 1. Follow the path listed above.

   2. Click the Add icon. The Add Interest page opens.

      • 

Fill in the fields for the populated event according to the table below:

Field Name	Required?	Description
Event	Required	This field automatically populates the event’s name and cannot be edited.
Interest Code	Required	Expand the Interest Code drop-down menu and select the interest code you will be adding to the event. Interest codes are set up in the CRM module (CRM > Overview > Customer Setup > Scoring Tab > Interest Codes child form).
Intensity Value	Required	Enter the intensity (numeric value) for this action in the Intensity Value field. The intensity for an interest code indicates how engaged or "interested" an individual is in that interest code.
