Signs are the core records inside every event. Each sign represents a physical piece of signage that needs to be produced, delivered, and installed. You add signs one at a time from the event's signs tab.
Steps
- Open the event from your Dashboard and click the Signs tab.
- Click Add Sign.
- Select a Sign Type. The picker shows library types pinned to this event first, then event-only types (marked with an "Event only" badge). To pin more library types here or create a new event-only type, click Manage types → next to the picker label or open the event's Sign types sub-page.
- Enter a Sign Number. If your event has a prefix set (e.g.
A-), the prefix is applied automatically — you only enter the number portion. - Fill in the required fields. Depending on the sign type, you may also see custom fields like dimensions, material, or finish.
- Add any Instructions for the contractor who will install this sign.
- Optionally adjust Copies to create at the bottom of the form (defaults to 1). Each copy creates a separate sign with its own auto-generated number, status, artwork, and photos. Up to 100 copies per submission.
- Click Save.
Your new sign(s) appear in the signs list with a pending status. Placing them on a map is a separate step you can do at any time.
Need 2–100 identical signs? Set Copies to create — see Duplicating Signs. For larger batches or sign-by-sign variation, use the bulk CSV import.
After adding a sign
- Upload artwork — attach the artwork file so contractors know what to install.
- Place on a map — drag the sign onto an image map or drop a pin on a geo map.
- Assign to a contractor — if your event uses assigned mode, assign the sign to one or more contractors.
