Field Character Limits

Question:

What is the maximum number of characters that may be included as part of an event description?

Answer:

The maximum number of characters for various fields within CERVIS are listed below. Please keep in mind, however, that fields which allow for advanced HTML formatting will be able to contain less actual characters as the amount of HTML formatting increases due to the character overhead caused by HTML formatting.
