Template Instructions

What you need to do:

• Create a copy of this repo template, using
• Grant "Read and Write access" to Github Actions for the newly created repository (Settings-->Actions)
• Place your participants data in participants.csv. This might also be easily exported from any spreadsheet manager software. The first line should contain the field headers -- avoid space characters in them.
• Commit

What the code does for you:

• Loads the data file with \DTLloaddb{data}{participants.csv}.
• (Replace with \DTLloadrawdb{data}{participants.csv} if you expect entries to contain special characters like $, &.)
• Designs the badge using the datatools latex package.
• Uses the mapped commands to insert/change fields.

  \DTLforeach{data}{% for each row of data:
    \Name=Name,   % Map each column header to a command
    \Email=Email, ...}{ % Use them to insert field values e.g.
    Delegate name: \Name <\Email>  
  }
  

• Creates a barcode for each participant
• Adds each barcode to each participant's badge
• Compiles a pdf with all badges in github-actions
• Jams multiple badges in one page, adding cut-out margins
• Uploads the jammed badges as artifacts to the orphan branch build
