Use the instructions below to copy a previous year's fair to the new year's fair. These are The Big Three - issues that cause the most tickets and calls from returning fairs:
- Not re-attaching animal types to divisions in the hierarchy--this prevents all entries into any animal classes. Select each division on the Hierarchy screen, then use the Hierarchy Editor tab to re-connect animal types to the divisions. See Adding Animals to Entries
- Not changing the registration entry dates to the current year--print the standard report Hierarchy>>"Entered Hierarchy Settings" to find all the places that those dates were entered. See Entry Registration Dates
- Not changing the new fair to be the "Primary Fair"--done on the Organizational Administrator screen, where all fairs are listed. See Designating the Primary Fair
