Find these event setting basics under Settings > Basics, in the Amego CMS.
- Event Name - Used in the CMS and, if you have multiple events, in the app Event Picker. You do not need to add a location or dates to the name, as those are added from other fields when needed for display.
- Location - The location of your event (city/state/venue), shown on the Event Picker as a display-only item.
- Event Format
- Live: our standard event and most typical entry.
- Digital: we support digital events but would want to discuss your specific implementation - please contact us for digital support.
- Timezone - Enter the timezone for the live event. Our live events run on "event time," so that when the attendee looks at the app, no matter where they are, they see the event timings in context of the actual live event. Digital events run on "attendee time," in the timezone of the attendee.
- Enable Surveys? - Amego surveys are the default. For any other survey solution, we'll need to help support you unless it's just a link. Contact us for more info.
- Top Right Icon - Select the feature you want accessible to attendees on the home screen next to your logo. Choices are: Maps, Search, Quest, Notifications, None.
- Publish on EventsGo / Branded App
- No: your event is hidden in EventsGo
- Testers Only: Only attendees you mark as testers will be able to access your app in EventsGo. This is the best way to test your app, even for Branded apps.
- All Attendees: All of your attendees can access your app in EventsGo. This is the standard way to publish for EventsGo customers, and for Branded apps it should not be used except as a backup.
- Event Begins - The start date for your event, shown on the event picker. This date is not related to app functionality - it's display only.
- Event Ends - The end date for your event, shown on the event picker. This date is not related to app functionality - it's display only.
- Use Check-In QR Code? - When set to "Yes," paired with the dates/times below, the check-in QR code will be activated.
- Check-in Begins At - The start of your check-in window. When this window begins and attendees open the app, the check-in QR code will automatically slide up to facilitate scanning for badge printing.
- Check-in Ends At - The end of your check-in window, when check-in functionality stops.
- Use Digital Badge? - Adds a QR feature icon to the home screen. It allows attendees to scan either their physical badge or the digital badge. Once scanned, both attendees will be connected to each other in My Contacts. You can customize the colors of the QR code in Design > Colors.
