Name badge template designer

In order to create your own name tag templates, you need the following feature: Generate name badges

This feature is included in guestoo free of charge from the Pro subscription upwards, but you can also add it to the Basic subscription at an additional cost.

This is how:

• Click on the menu item "Settings"
• Switch to the "Name badges" tab
• Click on the button "+Create name badge"
• Fill in the necessary data:
  
  Basic data
  
  • Name:
    Choose a name for the template. This is for internal purposes only.
  • Sorting order:
    You can enter a number here. If you enter a “1”, for example, this template will be displayed first in the internal listing of your agency.
  • Status:
    Active / Inactive
  
  Dimensions of the label
  
  • Width:
    Enter the width of the name badge here (in cm).
  • Height:
    Enter the height of the name badge here (in cm).
  
  Print sheet
  Select the desired print sheet here. We have already created print sheets for the most common templates.
  If you require further print sheet formats, please send us a request to support@guestoo.de
• Click on the button "+ Create now"

To simplify the configuration of the name badge templates, you can have all objects and texts on the name badge automatically centered. This means that all lines are grouped together and centered horizontally and vertically on the name tag. If a line is omitted, the remaining lines are still centered.

This is how:

• Switch to the tab "Content & Design"
• Click on "Edit"
• Check the box next to the option "Center all text (horizontal & vertical)"
• Spacing for centered text (top)
  Here you specify the distance from the top edge of the name tag to the first line of text (in mm)
• Space between the lines
  Specify how much space should be between the individual lines (in mm)
• Click on “Save” in the top right-hand corner to apply the changes. Only then will the preview of the name tag template be updated.

Note: Images, QR codes and content of the “fixed text” type always remain fixed in the position where you place them.

Once you have created the template, you still have to add the content of the name badge by adding lines and objects.

This is how:

• Go to the tab "Content & Design"
• Click on "Edit"
• Click on the "+ Add line/object" button in order to add a line to the name badge
• In order to change the content of the object, click on the pencil icon next to the desired object in the list under the “Content” headline
  
  In the dialog window you can set the following information:
  
  Type & Content
  
  • Type:
    
    • Text
      For short texts
    • Textarea
      For longer, multi-line text
    • Agency logo
      Adds the logo that has been set under Agency > Infos
    • Custom logo/image
      Gives you the opportunity to upload your own logo or image here
    • Check-in QR-code
      Inserts the guest's individual check-in QR code
    • Custom QR-code
      Generates a QR code from the link that you enter in the “Content” field (see below)
    • Fixed text
      You can use this type for texts that should always be positioned at a fixed point, even if the “Center all text” option is activated. This allows you to align a specific text in the top right corner of the name tag, for example.
    • Box
      Generates a box in which you can place additional content, for example. You can define the background color, line thickness and style (solid, dashed) yourself in the “Style” section.
    • Horizontal line
      Generates a horizontal line. You can define the color, line thickness and style (solid, dashed) in the “Style” section.
    • Vertical line
      Generates a vertical line. You can define the color, line thickness and style (solid, dashed) in the “Style” section.
  • Content:
    

    Enter the desired content here. Depending on the type selected, this can be either a text, a link or an image file.
    You can find an overview of all placeholders that you can use for your name tag templates on this page.
