1. Go into Marcato, select the vendors module
2. Select the option “not tagged with” for either food vendor or market stall¹⁾
3. Ignore the yellow triangle, that’s because they are Unverified. Cannot approve or decline applications in the system just yet, but tagging will help to make this easier later when you can.
4. If you have already seen apps in your inbox, that’s great, but you can now see them in Marcato.
5. Select any (or several) of the applications and create a tag – look for the Select a Function, top LH of the list. If you have a play around and want to use a different function, remember to go back to Select a Function (default) before moving to another function.
6. Select a vendor (or multiple), then use the dropdown as described above.
7. Select Tag and name it e.g. Kylie yes or Kylie no – this is a screen shot of this function, the tags will need to be created the very first time you tag an entry but after that they will auto-populate once you begin typing.

Most vendors will be sent the approval email when they are Approved in Marcato. However, because we had a few get approved prematurely, we just need to “scoop” these up and get them the form another way. To do this we use the “send form” function in the dropdown.

To do this, navigate to the vendor section. Using the grey box at the top, filter to view only Approved vendors that are tagged 'food vendor'.

You can then use the 'select all' to tick them all. Use the drop-down to then send the form to all these vendors.

That's it!

The normal method is to just Approve the vendor. Sweet!

To find the vendors who are not yet either Approved or Declined, you need to filter to see the “Unapproved” vendors. The grey filter box should look like this:
