How do I add a new stand type to my exhibitors?

If you only see one stand type available (for example, Shell Only Space) and need to add additional stand types such as Installations, Shell Scheme, or Showroom, you can do this directly from within an exhibitor entry.

Method 1: Add a New Stand Type Manually

Step 1: Open an Exhibitor

1. Go to your Dashboard.

2. Navigate to Exhibitors.

3. Open any existing exhibitor entry.

Step 2: Edit the Stand Field

1. Locate the Stand field within the exhibitor record.

2. Click into the stand title field.

3. Scroll down to view the existing stand type options.

Step 3: Add the New Stand Type

1. In the stand type field, manually type the new stand type name (e.g. Installations, Shell Scheme, Showrooom

   

2. Select the newly entered value from the list.

3. Click Submit.

4. Click Save on the exhibitor record.

Once saved, the new stand type will be created in the system and will automatically become available in the stand type dropdown for all exhibitors.

You can then update other exhibitor records and select the new stand type as needed.

Method 2: Add Stand Types via CSV Import

You can also create new stand types during a CSV import.

Step 1: Prepare Your CSV File

• Ensure your CSV includes the Stand Type field.

• Enter the stand type titles exactly as you would like them to appear (for example: Installations, Shell Scheme, Showroom).

Step 2: Upload the CSV

• Import your CSV file via the Exhibitor import function.

When the file is uploaded, the system will automatically recognise and create any new stand type values included in the CSV. These will then appear in the back office and be selectable for exhibitors moving forward.

Result

After completing either method, your new stand types will:

• Appear in the stand type dropdown list

• Be selectable across all exhibitor records

• Be available for future manual edits or imports
