Managing vendor attendance

Turn on automatic vendor check-in, see who's checked in for an event day, and let Marketspread mark attendance for you.


Marketspread can ask your vendors to confirm they're coming to an event day, and show you who has. Turn on check-in for an event, then see each vendor's status from that day's Vendors tab. You can also have Marketspread mark attendance for you when nobody's set it.

From here you can:

  • Turn on vendor check-in for an event
  • See who has checked in for an event day
  • Let Marketspread mark attendance automatically

Turn on vendor check-in

  1. Open Event Configuration → Events in your side toolbar.

  2. Click the event you want to turn check-in on for.

  3. Click the pencil next to Basic.

Note

Once this is on, every vendor booked on that event gets an email and a dashboard notification asking them to say whether they're coming.

A green thumbs up means a vendor confirmed they're attending; a red thumbs down means they said they're not. If neither is colored in, they haven't responded yet. You can also click a thumb yourself to check a vendor in for them.

Note

If a vendor checks in as not attending, you get a notification about it, and their attendance for that day is updated for you.

Take vendor attendance covers marking who actually showed up.

Let Marketspread mark attendance automatically

  1. Open Event Configuration → Events in your side toolbar.

  2. Click the event you want to change.

  3. Click the pencil next to Basic.

  4. Turn Automatically mark vendors as attended on or off.

  5. Click Save basic.

Note

This is turned on by default. If a vendor doesn't have an attendance status by the end of the event day, they're marked attended automatically.
