In this article, we'll be discussing how you can control a Host's ability to search for Participants and also how to set the criteria that they are able to search by.

Controlling a Host's ability to search 🔎

At the top of every Host profile page, you will see a 'Can Search' or a 'Can't Search' button.

This button controls whether the 'Search' function is available to this specific Host. Click it to toggle it on or off.

TIP - There is a quick way to see if a Host has the ability to search or not by looking at the Can Search indicator in the Basic Details panel. If there is a tick, they can search 👍🏻

How to set a Host's search criteria 📋

You can control what fields a Host is able to filter/search by when looking for Participants. Virtually any field that you create inside your application forms can be used as a filter. You also have the ability to let different Host types (camp, business, family) search by different criteria.

When logged in as an Admin;

• Click on 'Admin' from the menu
• Scroll down and click on 'Host Portal Filters' from the sub-menu
• On the relevant Host Type, click Add Filter
• From the dropdown menu, select the filter you would like to add
• Click 'Add'. TIP - if you are adding multiple, you can always reorder the list by dragging and dropping
• This auto-saves, so once you're finished simply leave the page.
• Congratulations, you just set your Host search filters 👾
