Managing companies

This article explains how you can create and manage your companies in the app.

We recommend creating companies for your event with the use of our (Excel) Import data tool. This allows you to create companies in bulk without the need to manually make single changes via the admin panel.

Manually creating a company

Tip: we recommend only manually creating companies for small additions. It is much faster to import the data using an Excel import.

1. Open the 'Admin panel' --> Go to 'Content' -->'Companies'.

2. Click on the button: '+New company'.

3. Fill in the 'Company details' fields (reference table below).

4. Fill in any relevant 'Extra company details' fields (reference table below).

5. Fill in any relevant 'Connecting company' fields (reference table below).

6. Set the 'Extra company options' (reference table below).

7. Click 'Add Company'.
