# Entry Source Administration

An entry event is the action that prompts one or more contacts to enter a journey. Entry events are recorded in a data source, which Journey Builder monitors on a schedule you set. Entry events can be journey-specific or reusable.

To find existing reusable events, use the Search field or sort by clicking column headers.

The Reusable Entry Sources page displays this information.

Note Salesforce entry sources, including the Salesforce Data, Campaign, and Experience entry sources, are only editable when no other journey or version uses them. You can't edit the object a Salesforce entry source uses to decide who enters the journey. To choose a different object in a Salesforce entry source, delete and recreate the entry source.

You can configure Journey Builder to begin a journey based on any event configured in Marketing Cloud Engagement.

## Event Availability

The dropdown menu at the top of the page lets you view events according to their availability. To make events on this page unavailable to other marketers in a journey, click the link in the Availability column.
