'; sfiab_page_begin($u, "Rollover Fair Year", $page_id, $help); ?>
Rolling over the fair year prepares the fair for a new year. The current year is =$config['year']?>. The new year is whatever you'd like, usually the current year + 1, so =$config['year']+1?>. The rollover process copies data for the new year, leaving a copy in the current year so that reports generated for past years make sense and reflect the data as it was.
The following data is duplicated for the new year: Awards and Prizes, Categories, Challenges, Configuration Dates, Schools, Sponsors, Timeslots, and Tours
The following data doesn't change year-over-year, so is not copied: CMS (page contents), Configuration (all except Dates), Emails, Reports
The following data is NOT rolled over because it is not needed for a new year: Judging Assignments, Judging Teams, Projects
Users are a special case. Users are copied to the new year one-by-one when a user logs in (provided the last activity on the account wasn't to delete or disable it).
