Renting booths in EXPOCAD updates the ExpoCadExp.dbf file. This file is located in the same folder as the Master Exhibitor and/or Event Exhibitor dbf file. The file is updated as follows:
■ COUNT_VAL field is equal to the last UNIQUEID field
■ ORIG_BOOTH field holds the booth number
■ BOOTH_SIZE is the total booth area
■ BOOTH_TYPE is the type of booth rented
■ EXHB_ID is the Exhibitor ID
■ EVENT_NAME is the name of the Event in EXPOCAD and the name of the Exposition in iMIS
■ PROC_DESC displays Rent Booth
■ INSERT_DAT is the date and time that the booth was rented in EXPOCAD
Note: It is not recommended that the Booth Type be changed after a booth has been rented. The booth type is the key to product mapping in iMIS. If you change the Booth Type in EXPOCAD, the ExpoCadExp.dbf will not be updated.
Note: Do not select File> Event Copy after a booth has been rented, as this will prevent an activity record from being inserted in the ExpoCadExp.dbf file for the new event.
