# How to create facts?

In the Events module, you can create facts to record a wide variety of information about your events.

For example, you can enter the number of visitors, the total amount collected, or other information that's important to you, and specify who is allowed to view this information.

**Tip**

You can do this in the *[Permissions Management](https://churchtools.academy/help/churchtools/rechteverwaltung/28-wie-vergebe-ich-ein-globales-recht/)* to specify for each individual fact who is allowed to view and/or edit it.

On this page, we'll show you how to create new facts.

## 1. View facts

To create new facts, navigate to *Master Data* (2) in *the Events module* (1), select *Facts* (3), and click the *plus sign* (4) to open the dialog box for creating a new fact.

## 2. Enter information

Next, enter all the information (1–4) for your new fact and save (5) it.

- (1) What's the name of your fact?
- (2) Where should your fact be sorted?
  The sort order determines where your new fact will appear in the *Facts* tab.
- (3) Should the fact be a number field or a drop-down menu?
  - You can enter any alphanumeric characters you like in a *number field*.
  - For a *drop-down menu*, you specify options that must then be used when filling out the fact.
- Enter the options for a drop-down list, separated by commas, in field (4) below.

**Tip**

You can also edit *existing facts* in the *master data* of *the Events module* by selecting them with a click, making your changes, and then saving them. Click the *trash can icon* to delete the fact.
