Ability to print specific badge types

[UncleKage]

We need to be able to set flags (perhaps in the "ribbon" field) that allow me to print specific badge types. In the past, all 4800 badges printed all at once, and we had to manually sort out dealers, sponsors, supersponsors, staff, guests, and board members from regular attending members. It would be helpful to be able to print all dealers, then all supersponsors, then all sponsors, etc.

This is relatively simple to do, but we need to first work out how combination badges would print. For example, if someone is a Dealer/Sponsor, would their badge print in the Dealers batch or the Sponsors batch?

Could we make it heirarchical? Here is the heirarchy that determines where one goes to get a badge.

Board (also guest and guest of honor, but these are never in combinatoin) Staff Dealer Supersponsor Sponsor Attending

So I dealer/supersponsor would pick up his badge at the dealer room, and a staff/supersponsor would pick up his badge at operations.

Yes, a straightforward hierarchy is great. Thank you!

Any chance we could do this with a search by type on the print page instead? I'm reluctant to code event specific business logic for printing when we could make it more universal.

I think it is already in there. There is a field for "ribbons." Our various attendee-types get ribbons to show off who they are. Couldn't we populate that field, and then have it search off of that?

Either way works for me. As long as I can print out all of the dealers, then all of the sponsors, then all of the supersponsors (and, of course, separating the adult badges from the minors at the same time).

If we had it based on searching by badge type instead of custom batches, then you'd have to print out Staff badges before you printed out Dealer badges or you'd have the batches mixed up. If that's not an issue, we can implement a search feature for the print page and that'll be more flexible than if I manually code batches in.

Whichever is easiest, and whichever will allow me to say, "print me all the adult supersponsors. now print me all the minor supersponsors. Now print me all the adult sponsors..."

This is now working.
