===Account Widget===
This shows the account of the user who is logged in. It provides a quick view of their profile photo (if asked for one), their email address, and a quick Logout button.

There is only a config (Content - Main Page Show Account Widget ) that controls this widget (show or don't show) and no other steps are needed to set it up.

===Location Widget===
This shows a description of any location you want to share for your event. Most event directors use this to show the location of the event, but there are description areas you can indicate what the location is for. Users can also get access to a map link to help them find where they need to go.

# Open the Location Widget Manager
# Click +Add
# Give the location a label (how you want it to appear in the widget)
# Set the sort order
# Provide a link to a map (a URL)
# Input any details about the location
# Enter the address (lines 1-4)
# Save

===Important Links Widget===
This widget provides a place you can provide quick links to External sites/online documents, or internal/site page locations.

# Open the Important Links Widget Manager
# Click +Add
# Give the link a label (how you want it to appear in the widget)
# Set the sort order
# Check the box if you want it to open in a new window
# Choose a Font Awesome Icon (not required)
# Select your Link Type (only choose one type)
# External Link - Alternate website or link that takes you out of the zFairs site
# Page Link - Link to a page you created in zFairs
# System Link - Link to a page that exists as a set page in zFairs (dropdown will provide you with options)
# Flex Flows - Only use if you have a flex flow set up
# Choose who can access the link. Check the box if you want the user to be logged in, meaning if they aren’t logged in, anyone with access to your site URL can access this link (not required)
# Choose a user type if wanting to restrict access to the link to a certain user. A dropdown menu will provide you with user options (not required)
# Save

===Schedule Widget===
This widget gives a quick view of the event’s schedule. You can set groupings in the schedule manager if there are multiple events on a given day, or if they pertain to a particular event that takes place multiple days.

# Open the Schedule Widget Date Manager
# Click +Add
# Give the date a label (how you want it to appear in the widget)
# Give a sub label. A sub label will put in parenthesis more detail of what the event is or who it is for (not required)
# Set the sort order
# Check the box if you want to show this date in the widget. This can be helpful to organize what is shown when to keep the schedule up to date and not crowded
# If you want several events to be grouped together, give the group a name and the labels of the event will show under the group title
# Set the date and end date if wanted
# Choose from the drop down menu if you have a system date (like registration start). You will need to input the date in the associated configuration for the date to show up in the schedule widget.
# Set your access information for who can see the dates set. Check the box if you want the user to be logged in, meaning if they aren’t logged in, anyone with access to your site URL can see this on the schedule (not required)
# Choose a user type if wanting to restrict who sees the scheduled item to a certain user. A dropdown menu will provide you with user options (not required)
# Save

== Auto Tags == - [https://youtube.com/shorts/AJ-3WQlt9pY?feature=share]

====Start by going to Staff > Tags====

=====To add a tag:=====

# Click Add in the top right corner.
# Select which type of tag you want: • **'''Project:'''** This type of tag is assigned to the project/entry. Project tags can be helpful when filtering by the entry, such as in round setup. Project tags can also be identified during scoring. • **''''Person:'''** These types of tags are assigned to any user needed. Person tags are good to use to filter out/in specific judges in round setup and also to sort users in reports. • **'''Auto:'''** These tags are automatically assigned as Person tags, but are set up using responses to registration questions.
# Give the tag a name that will help you identify the information you need.
# Choose a color for the tag. You can leave it “not set” and it will be a grey colored tag.
# Add any notes if wanted (but it is not required to make a tag)
# Click Save. From here you have made a tag. If just doing a Project or Person tag, continue to Bulk Tags or to Assigning Tags. If making an Auto Tag, continue to the next step.
# After clicking save, new fields will appear to set the Auto tag. The following filters can be set or left blank. Only set one type of filter per tag. • **'''System Tags:'''** These are tags associated with configurations and responses associated with them (i.e. Electrical outlet configuration setting the fee; auto tag assigned when fee is paid) • **'''System Tag Value:'''** The response associated with the system setting (yes, no, true, false, etc.) • **'''Auto Tag Settings:'''** These are associated with fields that appear in the registration. You can choose between “Missing Value” which means the user did not leave a response, or “Values Equals” which allows you to not only pick the field, but also to add the chosen response to that field if there can be multiple responses. Type in the needed response into the “Value When to Tag” field. • **'''Auto Tag Settings (Custom Questions):'''** These work the same as the above auto tag settings, these instead will show any custom question you have set, and allow the tag to be applied to the missing response, or the value that you set. Use the “Value When to Tag” found in the Auto Tag Settings (Values Equals) section.
# Save. Tags will be automatically applied even if the registration has already been finished. Auto tags will not work if the response from the registration is deleted. They also will not work if you name the tag the same as another.

Auto tags will not work if the response from the registration is deleted. They also will not work if you name the tag the same as another.

#First create a Person or Project tag. (Auto tags can not be used with bulk tagging)
#Next, click “bulk tag” at the bottom of the Tags page.
#Select which tag you would like to assign in bulk.
#Type in the person ID numbers (or entry ID’s) of the users you want to tag. (person IDs can be found in reports)
#Click “Add Tags” or if removing a tag in bulk, leave IDs blank and click “Remove Tags”

=====Bulk Tags on the People Page=====

#Open the People Page and filter by users needed.
#Click “Select” in the top right corner
#Check the box next to all the names of the people you want to tag.
#Click on “Bulk Tag” at the top of the list.
