    Attendee Overview

    An attendee is an individual who registers to participate in an event, such as a conference, seminar, workshop, exhibition, or festival. Attendees can vary widely in terms of their roles, including:

    • Attendees: Individuals who attend to gain knowledge, network, or engage in activities related to the event’s theme.
    • Speakers: Presenters or experts who share insights or lead discussions during the event.
    • Exhibitors: Representatives from companies or organizations showcasing their products or services.
    • VIPs: Special guests or stakeholders with unique access or privileges at the event.

    Attendees typically provide personal information during registration, such as name, contact details, organisation, and preferences, which helps organisers tailor the event experience.

    Purpose of the attendee

    The purpose of the attendee in the context of an event management platform like eventbuizz encompasses several key aspects:

    • Participation: Attendees are the primary audience for any event. Their participation is essential for the event’s success, as they bring life to the gathering, engage in discussions, and contribute to the overall experience.

The module offers attendees access to a comprehensive list of other attendees, along with various interactive features such as sorting, detailed profiles, and the ability to chat with other attendees.

    Prerequisites for attendee module

    Before the Attendee module becomes available on the eventbuizz app, certain prerequisites must be met. These settings ensure that the module works as intended and that relevant features are enabled for both organisers and attendees.

    Eventcenter customization:

    • The Attendee module must be activated in the eventcenter (via the “Customise app module” settings). If the toggle for this module is off, the Attendee Module will not be available in the app side.
    • organisers must enable the program module in the eventcenter. Follow these steps:

    • Eventcenter->settings->customise app settings->Attendee->enable attendee from toggle button

    Once enabled, all added attendee from the organizer will be displayed in the web app under the attendee module, in all attendees tab.

    Attendee module features in detail

    The attendee module consists of a attendees listing divided into three tabs. Detail is given below about each tab:

    All attendees tab

    The All attendees tab provides a complete listing of all event attendees. Here’s how the information is displayed:

    Basic information:

    •  On attendee listing,by default attendee name, company, title, department and profile picture will be displayed.
    • To manage the display of attendee information is based on roles and sorting fields, there are specific rules and settings that determine what data is shown on the attendee listing and detail pages. Here is a detailed explanation of these scenarios:

    Attendee listing and detail rules

    • Before going to attendee detail, let discuss how data will display on the listing of the all attendee tab.

    Attendee listing

    Default display:

    By default, the attendee listing will display the following fields:

    • Name
    • Company
    • Title
    • Department
    • Profile picture
    • Private address

    Important case – attendee listing & detail

    Data display logic:

    • If attendee role is given: The data shown is based on the sort fields activated for that role.
    • If attendee role is not given but attendee type is provided: The data shown is based on the sort fields activated for that type.
    • If neither attendee role nor type is provided: The data shown is based on the default sort fields settings.

    Role-based sorting:

    • The displayed data on the attendee listing is influenced by the attendee’s role.
    • If specific sort fields (e.g., last name, company name, department, title, address) are activated for the role, those fields will be displayed.

    Example:

    Here let see with example how data will display on attendee listing, base on role or type of the attendee. Below given example will show the attendee name “Abid Naaz” has the type attendee, and there is no role for that attendee, here important note is if role is not given then attendee type will run, and if attendee type is not given then default settings will implement.

    • Attendee type is attendee in the eventcenter attendee listing.
    • In sort fields against attendee type, there is no sort field active.
    • If against that specific sort field there is no sort field active, then default settings will work.

    Important note:

    Now here attendee type is attendee, but in attendee sort fields there is not single sort field active, so that’s why on attendee listing and detail default settings will implement. Here below attachment will show that:

    Private address handling:

    Settings impact:

    • If the Display personal address in list view setting is off, private address fields will not be displayed on the attendee listing, even if those fields are activated sort fields for the role.
    • If this setting is on, private address fields will be displayed on both the listing and detail pages if they are activated sort fields.

    Important note: How data will display on attendee detail?

    • Similarly as like listing, same rules will apply on the attendee detail and in attendee detail data will display base on the role.
    • If role is not given then data will show base on the attendee type.
    • If type is not given then default settings will work.

    Below attachment is showing, attendee role is not given, and in attendee type no sort field is active, that’s why default settings are working and all sort fields are active, and in attendee profile all fields have data, that’s why everything is representing here.

    Data visualisation in attendee detail

    In attendee detail data is displayed in different tabs, and if there is no data available in that tab, then that tab will not display in attendee detail.

    Detail of each tab is given below:

    • About: About tab will represent the data related to attendee profile, all the fields which are the part of attendee profile will display in attendee tab except, phone, email and social fields.
    • My program: This tab will show all the programs in which that attendee is attached.
