You can require or allow exhibitors to upload files during the entry process. Common examples would be uploading a photo for a digital photo class, or uploading a copy of a Code of Conduct. The Custom Files tab (on the Hierarchy menu) walks you through the process.
Photos of Animals and Registration Papers are more likely to be set up as part of the Animal Type information. The process is similar to setting up a Custom File Upload.
Similar to Custom Fields, if Custom Files are created at the Fair level of the hierarchy, exhibitors will be asked to upload a file once during the Exhibitor identification portion of the entry process. If they are created at a lower level of the hierarchy, each time an exhibitor makes an entry into that portion of the hierarchy, they will see the option/requirement to upload a file with the entry. If they are created as part of the Animal Type, they will be included for each individual animal identified.
