Event manager

Basics

Prequisites
You got the right Access to the event manager at minimum, but we recommend to got all rights under Event management via your author account or your permission group.

Use
You can manage the participants for face-to-face sessions in the context of your training opportunities via the Event manager. All starting and end times of the event date are shown in the time zone of the event date. When you have created events and have added on the learning path, the participants get access to the event via the course activation. Via clicking the tab Event management you get to the Event manager.

Furthermore, you can make an overview of Tasks in the event management.

You find more information about registration and deregistration of the user him/herself in chapter Catalog.

Functions
To get to the Event manager, choose Event management → Title of an event.
The Event manager opens.

The following functions are available:

Event manager

Overview

The Event manager gives you first an overview of the process of the selected event date. If you’ve defined the External Reference and the External Reference Type, these are shown in the header data.

The Event manage memorizes per author, by which column the participant list was sorted.

You can can create new hotel bookings for selected participants via the button Add new hotel booking on the sub tab Hotel.

On the sub tab Location you can click the button Notify location and thus you can define locations for selected messages. Therefore there have to be a contact person at the hotel if it is notifying the hotel.

Important

Note the following facts:
– Before this an e-mail or a community message was generated via Follow-up, depending on which button you’ve clicked on. Now this is managed via the notification. Because both templates are defined in each client and each event each generated notification will fill up both options. If you don’t want this you have to adjust the notifications after the update.
– Only mail texts and community texts are transferred into notifications, if these are defined in an event or in a client as standard. This means that mail texts which were created and always were selected manually on sending the follow-up mail for example, are not be determined to be found after the update if they weren’t selected as standard at any location.

Link to a feedback

If there is a dependancy between the event and a feedback (more information), you see a note (see picture on the right). After recording the attendance and after saving the done configurations, the author decides, if a notification with the corresponding feedback should be sent to the user. Then a new dialog window opens: “If you change the attendance to Present, an e-mail for informing about a following feedback will be sent to the user.” A feedback community notification will be sent at the same time as the feedback mail is created in Avendoo®.

Delete incorrectly recorded attendance

To delete incorrectly recorded attendance, you have to delete the attendance at the event date first. Only in this case it is ensured that assessments and calculations of the course status are correct.

Therefore click on the title of the appropriate event, choose the tab Attendance list and delete the check box Present in the favored line of the table. Click on the button Save.

Then go to the User management. Open the User wizard for the user, for which you want to delete the attendance and switch to the site Qualifications. Choose the tab Training inventory and delete the appropriate entry.

Note: Community entries are not deleted again for superiors if the attendance is newly recorded.

E-mail history

You see an overview of the whole e-mail history of the event. You see for example which participants were informed in which way. If a user sends a response to a registration confirmation for example, you do not see this in the e-mail history.

If you do some changes, for example a new location, Avendoo® sends automatically an update mail to the participants. Note that if a hotel changes, the participants don’t get an update mail. This e-mail has the appendix “Update” in the subject line. The participants receive an update mail for the e-mail, which you have received at last, for example confirmation of registration, invitation e-mail. If the event speaker has received an invitation e-mail, he gets also an update mail.
You cannot create and edit a mail template for the update mail. The update mail is basically generated automatically, but when you change the event, for example the starting time the update mail will be generated manually.

If you also change the (individual) notifications Sending of invitation e-mail, Event – Send registration confirmation and/or Event – Send registration confirmation (waiting list), there are automatically sent update mails with the prefix “Update” in these notifications to the participants and a copy to selected recipients.

As Avendoo® has been sent an event mail, you find a code in the subject of the event mail. This code is only used for the internal assignment in Avendoo®. This means, the event mail can be assigned to the event and the participant by this code, but the event mail cannot be read. If the author has defined it in the event, some persons (for example the coordinator) can be informed about unallowed answers.

History of community messages

You see an overview of the history of community messages of the event date. You see when (date and time) the community message were created, who was the recipient and the content.
