All Done. Go Back

Rolling over the fair year prepares the fair for a new year. The current year is . The new year is whatever you'd like, usually the current year + 1, so . 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).
