OnArrival Account Badge Templates

Overview

Account Badge Templates bring centrally managed, reusable badge templates to Admin — giving administrators a single place to design, govern, and distribute badges across both Essentials and Standard events.

Today, badges are created event by event with no account-level source of truth. Planners recreate similar designs from scratch each time, admins have no way to control which designs surface for which users or event types, and inconsistent branding follows. Account Badge Templates eliminates that friction: administrators can now create and manage templates through the OnArrival Badge Designer in Admin, enforce visibility by user and event type, and give planners a template-first starting point every time they create a badge.

What's changing

• Centralized template management. Admins can create and maintain reusable badge templates directly in the Admin area, establishing a single source of truth for branding, layout, and print settings — with support for most data tags & widgets.

• Template-first creation flow. When creating a badge in an event, planners are first prompted to select from available account templates — showing only the ones they're permitted to use.

• Visibility controls. Admins can restrict which templates surface for which users and event types. Essentials & Standard event organizers & planners see only templates designed for their programs & events respectively.

• Permissions. Template creation and editing is gated behind the existing Templates permission in User Roles > Administrative.

• Essentials compatibility. Templates are fully compatible with Essentials events (as long as visibility rules allow), ensuring organizers have the same template-first experience as Standard event planners.
