Creating Badges

Badges can be exported from the admin portal or used for on-site badge printing (if purchased for your event).  This document explains how to manage, add, and export your badges. Note: this includes self printed badges only or creating badges for on-site printing. If using R@H on-site badge printing, please see on-site badge printing documents or contact support@resultsathand.com. Note: This article focuses on single badge creation (using the same badge) for each attendee. If you require team or type specific badges, please see the article on "Team Badges".

Manage Badges

In the admin portal, when you go to Badges->Manage, you can see the badges you have for your event.  The screen shot below shows the Manage Badge screen.

From this screen, using the icons in the Actions column, you can update the settings for your badge(s), download a sample of the badge to see what it will look like for each attendee, download the badge template (source PDF)  itself, or remove the badge.  Supported badge templates include:  Avery Templates 5160, 5390, 5392, 5395.  Also supports print labels via the Brother QL810-W, QL1110, QL1100 Label Printer. 

Each event contains 2 sample badge templates you can can choose to use or you can create your own using a PDF form.  The downloaded sample badge is shown in the screen shot below:

The attendee's first name, last name, title, company and city are shown on the badge.

Add Badge

To add a badge, click the Add tab next to Manage.  Note: your pdf file must first be created with form fields added - see below.

1. Name (required) - Enter the name of the badge.
2. Source PDF - Select the file to attach.
3. Default Badge - Specify if this badge is the default badge.
4. Click the Add Badge button to save your changes.

Source PDF Badge

Your badge template PDF should be a PDF form with field names from your users' available profile fields. The following profile fields are available; please set the form field name to the exact value (including case) under Form Field column as shown in the image below:

In the PDF Form, the fields would look like this:

Notice that the field name, first_name in the PDF form is identical to the Form Field name in the screenshot above.  

QR Code Location

If you are using the scanner functionality for check-in at your event or scanning for leads, you will need to add a QR code to the badge template. To do this, click on the "QR Code Settings" tab (see image below). 

The Shareable QR code is the QR code used for scanning attendee badges for CEU tracking and Lead Retrieval. Note: the larger QR code sizes (large and jumbo) are best when using the CB Scanning app. 

Secure Login QR code: This is used for on-site badge printing only and can be added to a second page of the badge for logging into the CBS (ConferenceBeat Scanner) app for CEU tracking and Lead Retrieval. 

Note: you must first add a second page to the badge to be able to select page 1 or page 2 for the QR code options.
