What's Tagging and How Tagging Is Useful
The tagging field is a simple way to label and identify guests based on different criteria. This information can include their seating assignment, event status (such as VIP, Speaker, or Sponsor), or any other relevant category. By assigning tags to guests, the EventNook Kiosk App can display this information during check-in, helping event staff to provide appropriate attention and service to each guest.
To use the tags, simply add the corresponding tag whenever a VIP guest arrives. This will quickly update the summary information, giving you insight into how many VIP guests have arrived. Similarly, if you assign a Table Number in the tagging field, it will provide a summary of the guest's arrival by Table Number. Additionally, tags can be used to sort and filter the guest list data, allowing for further customization.
Please take a look at the highlighted blue label in the screenshot below of the EventNook Kiosk Check-in app.
Getting Started
To use the Tagging feature, First, you need to enable the Tagging field in the Registration Form of the event.
Go to Setting > Registration Form
Enable Tagging field
Generally, the Tagging field is set as a hidden field because the registration doesn't have to fill up tagging and it's rather updated by the event organizer.
Please see the screenshot below on how to enable the [Tagging] field.

In summary, tagging can be a useful way to check summary information regarding VIP guests who have arrived. By creating tags for each VIP guest and assigning them to records, you will quickly have clarity into how many VIP guests have arrived and can access filtered guest list data accordingly.
The tagging field can also be used in other areas such as
printing the tagging information on the badge or name tag to quickly identify the information
adding the tagging information as a mail-merged field in the email template, and analyzing guests' data as a group. For example, you can quickly check how many VIP guests have already shown up by looking at the summary information.
