To enable Smart networking:

1. Login to the Zuddl dashboard and create an event. Learn more about creating an event.
2. Go to Venue setup > Networking.

3. Toggle on Smart networking.

   

4. Toggle on Select interests and check the interest options to be made available to attendees. This allows attendees to add their interests to their profiles, which are used to find a suitable match.
   1. Click Edit interests to edit the interest options.
   2. In the search box, start typing to find interests. Any interests added to other events in your organization can be searched here, and you can add them by clicking + Add next to the relevant interest from the search results.
      
      
   3. To add a new interest, finish typing the term and click + Create interest. The interest will be added to the list in the modal.
      
      
   4. To reorder interests in the list, click the reorder icon on the left and drag them up or down. To delete an interest, hover on it and click the bin icon on the right.
   5. To hide an added interest, uncheck the checkbox. Hidden interests are added to the list, but not used for matchmaking. You can enable them later.
