Booth Configuration per Sponsor

This guide walks you through the process of configuring booths for individual sponsors after initial booth assignment.

Methods for Booth Configuration

Booth configuration can be managed through two distinct access points, depending on the user's role and permissions within the event system.

Configuration Access Methods

Method 1: Organizer Dashboard

Event organizers and staff members with the Expo Manager role can configure booths directly through the Organizer dashboard. This centralized approach provides:

  • Full access to the Expo configuration booth module
  • Complete oversight of all sponsor booth setups
  • Ability to manage multiple booths across the event

Method 2: Sponsorship Dashboard

Sponsors can manage their own booth configurations through the Sponsorship dashboard. Staff members with Expo management roles can:

  • Access booth configuration tools specific to their assigned booths
  • Update design data and booth requirements independently
  • Review order details and pricing information

Unlocking the Booth Configuration

Once the booth configuration is in status Finished, it is locked for further changes.

Once locked:

1.Only Event Organizers have the authority to unlock booth configurations. This permission is restricted to users with appropriate organizer roles (such as Expo Manager) accessing the system through the Organizer dashboard.

2. Sponsors Cannot Unlock Configurations from the Sponsorship dashboard, even if they have Expo management roles.

If a sponsor needs to make changes to a locked booth configuration, they must:

  1. Contact the event organizer
  2. Request that the configuration be unlocked
  3. Wait for organizer approval and action
