Testing your applications or entries should be done as a regular user, not a Show Admin, as you have greater privilidges and access than the regular user.
TRADE STAND APPLICATION TESTING
Please go through your Open/Close steps as a standard process: Open/Close Trade Stand Applications
To test your Trade Stand application, please make sure:
- the Trade Stand Application system page is visible or hidden
- your trade module is enabled
- your trade settings are configured
COMPETITION ENTRY TESTING
TAKE A TEST RUN (Optional)
Before you create your new event on the live site, you can take a test run on the staging site. The data may not be the same, but it might be enough to refresh your skills on a mock event.
You could create a mock event, for example, 'Winter Show', and run the basic features and processes to view all the latest updates;
- Copy last year's event
- Finish last year's event
- Set it to Active
- Run some standard actions;
