Prerequisites

Before creating segment-specific badge designs, you must first create attendee segments and enable them for badge printing.

To learn how to set up attendee segments, refer to:

How to Create User Segments for Badge Printing

Accessing Badge Designer

  1. Go to your Event Backend.
  2. In the left navigation menu, expand Badge Printing App.
  3. Click Badge Designer.

Designing a Badge for a Segment

  1. Open the Visitor (or Attendee) tab.
  2. You will see a list of all attendee segments that have been enabled for badge printing.
  3. Click the segment you want to customize.
  4. Use the Badge Designer tools to create the badge layout for that segment.
  5. Click Publish Changes to save the design.

Repeat these steps for any additional segments that require their own badge design.

Using the Default Badge Design

If you want all attendee segments to use the same badge design:

  1. Open the Visitor tab.
  2. Select Default.
  3. Design the badge as desired.
  4. Click Publish Changes.

When publishing changes to the Default badge, the system will display the following prompt:

Update Segment Designs?

Choose whether to apply these changes only to the default badge or to all segment badge designs.

You will see three options:

Update All Segments

Updates the Default badge design and automatically applies the same design to all attendee segments.

Use this option when:

  • You want a consistent badge design across all attendee groups.
  • You have made branding updates that should appear on every badge.
  • You want to avoid manually updating each segment design.

This is the recommended option when the badge layout is intended to be the same for all segments.

Update Default Only

Updates only the Default badge design.

Existing segment-specific badge designs remain unchanged.

Use this option when:

  • Individual segments have their own customized layouts.
  • You do not want to overwrite segment-specific designs.

Cancel

Closes the prompt without applying any updates.

Best Practice

Use Update All Segments when setting up your initial badge design or making event-wide branding updates. This ensures consistency across all attendee segments and significantly reduces the time required to maintain multiple badge designs.

If certain attendee groups require unique branding, layouts, or fields, create separate segment designs and use Update Default Only when modifying the default badge to avoid overwriting those customizations.
