Exhibitors can be assigned to different categories for easier navigation on the floor plan. Categories allow attendees to sort companies by products or services.

Attendees can search for a particular category. All exhibitors within this category will be highlighted on the floor plan:

By default, categories are hidden behind a "hamburger" tab on the view. They can also be displayed on the exhibitors list at the top.

To set it up, go to Settings  - Floor plan and check the Show categories box under the "What to show on start" section.

You can add, edit, or delete exhibitor categories in Exhibitors  - Categories. To add a category, click the Add new button:

You can also add multiple categories at the same time. To allow exhibitors to assign categories themselves, check the corresponding box in the pop-up window:

You can import categories along with other exhibitor data via the Excel template. They will be assigned to exhibitors automatically. Please note that categories should be comma-separated.

Exhibitors can assign themselves to a category in their portal in Edit profile - Category.

To (un)assign categories, go to Exhibitors  - Exhibitors list, select one or multiple exhibitors, click on Category and select the correct one.

In a similar way, you can delete categories of the selected exhibitors — individually or all.
