You can use the Logistic object in conjunction with objects other than the Event  and Product objects. As an example, you could relate the Logistic object to the Committee object to track logistics specific to each committee. To do this, relate the Logistic object with another object, add custom fields, and create custom page layouts on the Logistic to create a unique experience for your staff.

Keep in mind that if you add new fields on the Logistic or room objects, you must grant access to those fields in the proper permissions sets. Learn more about each permission set. If you create a new page layout, you will also need to give profile access to the layout to those using the Logistic or room objects.
