Organiser How-To
Name Badges
Design printable badges for your event and issue one to every delegate or faculty member, automatically filled with their registration details. Design a template once, then reuse it to issue and print in batches — and correct or reprint any badge later.
Where to find it: Open your event → Event Dashboard → Name Badges. You'll see four tiles: Create Template, Templates, Issue Badges, and Issued Badges — Edit / Delete / Print.
Step-by-Step Guide
Create a Template
Click Create Template, give it a name (e.g. Delegate), then choose a badge size. Set a background from the gallery or upload your own. Add your logo, toggle the QR code on if needed, then drag and position each text field (name, specialty, workplace, etc.). Click Create Template to save.
The right-hand panel scrolls — QR and text element controls are below the logo section. Widen a field's width box where no QR code is shown, and check that the longest names still fit.
Edit a Template
Click Templates, find the template card and click Edit. Make your changes and click Save Changes.
Editing a template changes it for future badges only. Badges you have already issued keep the design they were issued with.
Issue Badges
Click Issue Badges, choose the Delegates or Faculty tab, and pick a template from the dropdown. Tick people from the list — every field is editable before issuing. Click Issue Badges — the selected people are saved as a batch and drop off the not-yet-issued list.
Search and selection apply to the current page only. Issue the page you are on before moving to the next — you will be warned if you try to leave with un-issued selections.
Print Badges
Click Issued Badges — Edit / Delete / Print, select the batch from the dropdown, tick the badges to print, then click Print Selected. Choose your layout mode, margins, gaps, and crop marks to match your perforated stock. In the browser print dialog set paper size to A4 and scale to 100% (Actual size) — not Fit to page — so badges line up with your stock.
Reprint or Correct a Badge
Open Issued Badges — Edit / Delete / Print and select the batch. Search for the person by name.
- To reprint only: tick their row and click Print Selected.
- To correct a detail: edit the field inline, click Save Changes, then tick and click Print Selected.
Corrections here affect only that issued badge — no need to re-issue or edit the template. To remove a badge entirely, tick it and use Delete Selected.
Quick Troubleshooting
Text too long or too small on the badge — widen that field's width box in the template, or shorten the text on the issue / edit screen.
Badges spill onto a second page — this is normal. The preview labels each page. Check every page before printing.
No attendees on the issue screen — they may all be issued already, or you have not picked a template yet.
