Event environments

When you click “Create” under ‘Content’ in the Mobile application and then select “Event” as the type, you can then select an event from the Events application. When you then click ‘Save,’ an Event environment is created in your app. This is an environment in your app dedicated entirely to a specific event, which can be viewed in your app by selecting the Event environment from the dropdown menu at the bottom left of the taskbar.

An Event environment has three screens by default: Info, Registration, and Notifications. An additional screen becomes available if the Program module is present in an event. This valuable integration with the Program module is explained further at the bottom of this page.

Info

The Info page primarily displays general information as configured in the Events application. It is also possible to register for the event here. 

However, just like in a regular environment within the app, it is possible to add modules to this page. This can be done by clicking “Create” under “Screens & Modules” when the relevant Event environment is selected. When modules are subsequently created, as explained on this page, the remaining information on this page is collapsed, and a list of blocks is displayed behind which this information is shown.

For a specific event, modules may be useful because they allow you to add a text page, as well as locations, forms, and more.

Registration

Under Registration, participants can view their tickets. When they click on their ticket, the QR code is displayed, which can be used to scan tickets upon arrival.

Notifications

Under Notifications, participants see notifications relevant to them. These notifications can be sent by the administrator in the Events application and within the app itself. By creating different feeds for different ticket options, participants only see messages relevant to their ticket. See this article for more information on creating event feeds and sending messages.

Integration with the Program module

The presence of the Program module in an event makes it particularly appealing to create an Event environment for this event, as it offers more options for streamlining the event. For example, the integration with the Program module adds the ‘Program’ page to the taskbar of the Event environment. The ‘Registration’ and ‘Notifications’ pages also offer additional options for an event with a program. As for the Info page, there are no additional settings when the Program module is active for an event.

Program

The “Program” page contains a wealth of additional information about the event's schedule. When this page is selected in the taskbar, three tabs appear at the top of the screen.

• The Program tab displays the full schedule, including speakers and rooms. 
• The Speakers tab displays all speakers set up in the Program module for this event. When a speaker is selected, their information is displayed, including the sessions in which they will speak. 
• On the Activities tab, you can view all activities as they are set up in the Program module for this event. When an activity is selected here, you can view the speakers for that activity. 

Registration

In addition to the existing “My Tickets” tab on the “Registration” page, “My Program” is also visible here for events with a program. A participant can view their own program here.

Notifications

In addition to the standard functionality of the “Notifications” page, the integration with the Program module also allows you to create event feeds for specific programs within the Events application. See this article for more information.
