1. Badge Name (This can be anything and will only be shown in the list in CMS)
2. The header can be either an image or a colour
3. Select what you would like displayed on the badge; Event Logo, Profile Image, Job title and Company (Note; the Event Logo displays over the header)
4. If you would like a custom label on your badge, then turn the custom label toggle ON. You will then be able to type in the custom label and the background/text colour of the label

• You can then find your newly created badge in the “Badges/Passes” list
(Note: In the list you can search for badges, reorganise the badges by clicking and dragging them in the list and you can also delete badges from the list)
Importing 3rd Party QR code into CMS
• Go into the 3rd party registration platform, such as Entegy
• Import the attendee profiles including, their name, organisation, job title and badge reference
• Log into CMS > Libraries > People > Import/Export TAB and download the example template
• Populate the template sheet with the information from the 3rd party import sheet
• Then import the completed file into CMS
• During the import, you may get an error message if an attendee already exists in the app or there is missing information from your template sheet
• Go to the people TAB and you should be able to see all the imported attendees
• You can search for a specific attendee or click “Edit” on any one of them to check and ensure that relevant attendee information is imported
• Check that the QR code ID field is populated with the correct 3rd party code
• Click Save
NOTE: You can also export CMS QR Codes into a 3rd party platform. Please refer to the specific platform’s own guidance.
