Venues

Venues are a core part of event creation. Informativ uses a dual-ownership model to ensure proper management.

Adding a Venue

When you create an event, you can add a new venue by providing the name and address. The system automatically normalizes the data and checks for duplicates:

• Matching logic: Compares name + address (case-insensitive). If a match is found, the existing venue is reused.
• Field requirements: Name, address, city, state, and country are required.

The Two Ownership Fields

Every venue has two person references:

• added_by: The person who initially created the venue record. This could be an organizer creating a venue during event setup.
• owner_uuid: The verified owner of the venue. This is null until proven via a manual admin process.

Important: A venue cannot be made available for booking until it has a confirmed owner. Only the owner can manage the venue's settings.

Ownership Verification

To become the owner, a user must contact an admin and provide proof of ownership (e.g., deeds, lease agreements). The admin will then assign the owner_uuid and the VENUE_OWNER role.

Venue Banking Details

Owners can add banking details specifically for their venue. These are used to receive payouts for venue bookings.
