💡 Lookup Tables

Your Lookup tables help organize the types of data that can easily be assigned to your attendees. Below you will find two tables: one labeled Events designed for if you have multiple events you need to manage. The second table is labeled Badge Levels should you need to keep track of different badge leveled attendees for a specific purpose (i.e. different swag, access to events, etc.).

You can edit these fields and change the lookup fields without changing the big table and breaking your lookup features! Give it a try!
