Amego Knowledge Base: Your Ultimate Resource for Support and Guidance
Settings: Basics
Manage these basic settings for your event.

Find these event setting basics under Settings > Basics, in the Amego CMS.

 

 

Setting

  • 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 will be 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 for these - 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 time zone 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. Example shown below. 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. See Related Articles for more info.
    • 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, our check in QR code will be activated. See Related Articles for more info.
    • 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? Using this tool will add 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. See Related Articles for more info.
