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:
Displaying categories
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 box "Show categories" under the section "What to show on start.โ
Adding categories
You can add, edit, or delete exhibitor categories in the "Exhibitor Details - Categories". To add a category, click on 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:
Via Excel
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.
Assigning categories
With the Exhibitor Portal
Exhibitors can assign themselves to a category in their portal by clicking "Edit profile -ย Category."
Individually and in bulk
To (un)assign categories, go to "Exhibitors", select one or multiple exhibitors, click on "Category" and select the necessary one.
In a similar way, you can delete categories of the selected exhibitors - individually or all.
