This article outlines how to create an item for your agenda or how to create an announcement.
Creating an announcement or agenda item
open the Update Content folder in your admin area, adding an agenda item or an announcement are almost identical so select either Create an Announcement or Create an Agenda Item
add a title and the start and stop times for the specific item. The announcement module has a priority setting – the lower the number the higher the priority
both allow for links to be created for users to click through to either a 3rd party URL including a specific booth in the event or a main space that sits in the environment such as the auditorium or networking area
An announcement will appear in the event according to the start and stop times but they can also be hidden from view in the event by clicking ‘hide’.
Advice – add some useful emergency announcements with a priority 1 that remain hidden until you need to push them live at a moments notice.
Once an agenda or announcement item’s time has passed it will burn off the top
You may switch off the agenda by going to the Site/Registration folder in Update Content and changing the Show Agenda? field to No then Click Update Reg
