Tags are useful tools to help with the organization of your event. The organizer can choose various topics related to your event and create tags for Attendees, Speakers, Sponsors, as well as for Activities, in order to categorize them.
How do I create a tag?
Manually
To create a tag, go to Settings > Tags. Then in the top left corner, press +New tag.
Then, you will see a new window for you to type in the tag name and its color.
When it comes to the tag type, you can choose from these categories:
- Attendees
- Activities
- Speaker
- Sponsor
Regarding the tag visibility, if you set it to Yes, the tag will be visible to all attendees. If you set it to No, it will only be visible to admins and thus invisible to the event participants.
Once you have set the fields, click Create.
There are no limits to how many tags can be created.
Importing a spreadsheet
You can also import a spreadsheet list with your tags to the platform.
To do so, simply click on Edit > Import > Download demo file. Then fill out the file and upload it back to the platform by clicking on the green file button and then on Import.
When adding your tags through the spreadsheet, you will see three columns:
Under Type, instead of using Person, Activity, Speaker, or Sponsor, you should use the following numbers to fill out the tags type column:
- Add 1 to activities
- Add 3 to attendees
- Add 4 to speakers
- Add 5 to sponsors
How do I add a tag to an Activity and create content tracks?

Can I filter activities by their tags in the Virtual Lobby?
On the main page of the Virtual Lobby, all users should see an option to filter activities' topics/tags. By clicking on the funnel icon, all activities' tags from the event will be displayed.
If users, for example, select Technology (see image below), they should see all activities that have been tagged as a Technology activity.
The users will be able to select more than one tag at a time. To unselect a tag, simply click on it one more time.
The users can use the tag icon by the activity as a filter as well just by clicking on its tag, as it shows in the image below.
