Event Attendee Roles

You can now specify a Role for each Attendee of an Event in ExhibitDay.

Assigning Roles to Event Attendees

To assign a Role to an event attendee (under the event [Staff] tab), click on the edit drop-down next to the attendee; then, select the “Specify Role” option.

Default Attendee Roles for Users and Resources

A Default Event Attendee Role can be specified for each user/resource in your ExhibitDay Workspace (under Workspace Settings > Users & Permissions). If a user/resource has a Default Event Attendee Role specified, they will automatically be tagged as that role the next time they are added as an Attendee of an Event (under the Event [Staff] tab).

Adding Custom Event Attendee Roles

If there are additional roles that you would like to include in your ExhibitDay Workspace, you can add your own custom roles (under Workspace Settings > Customize Event Fields > Customize Event Attendee Roles).

Search for Users and Resources

In addition to searching for events, the search function (in the top navigation bar) can now be used to find Users and Resources in your ExhibitDay workspace.

Find Users and Resources for Trade Shows and Exhibits

Clicking on a User or a Resource in search results will open their profile; there, you can view the contact information (i.e. email, phone number, title) for the User/Resource. The profile dialog also displays the events that the User/Resource is tagged in, as well as their recent activity and logs. Additionally, for each event the user/resource is tagged in, you can view the nature of their involvement in the event.

Adding Tags to Assets

You can now add tags to Assets in your ExhibitDay Workspace.

Tagging Assets

Tags are keywords or phrases that can be added to your Assets in order to classify and categorize them — however way you see fit. For example, you can tag an Asset with the name of the department/division that the Asset belongs to. Or, you can tag Assets as “Custom-made” or “Perishable” or “Fragile”, etc.

The tags for each asset can be specified when you add a new asset or edit an existing one.

Filtering your Assets by Tag

On the Manage Assets page, you can see all the tags for each Asset. Use the Asset Filter (top-right corner) to filter down your Assets by any number of tags.

Enabling Event IDs in your ExhibitDay Workspace

The Event Id (EID) is an auto-generated, 8-digit unique number for each event in your ExhibitDay workspace. By default, event IDs are not displayed in ExhibitDay — they are just kept in our backend systems while the front-end ExhibitDay magic strives to maintain a simple, clutter-free, user experience. However, in certain cases, there might be a need for you to see these Event IDs (i.e. reference them in other bookkeeping systems, etc.). If you want to make Event IDs visible in ExhibitDay, you can do so by enabling them under Workspace Settings > Display Event IDs.

Once you enable Display of Event IDs, you’ll see the Event ID listed next to each event in the main Events page; you’ll also see the Event ID on the individual event pages.

Enable Event ID

Pro-tip: in the Event Search window you can search for events by their 8-digit Event Id (EID).
