Activity 7: Post-Launch Call

This optional and highly recommended meeting, scheduled upon request by the Customer, provides guidance and training on functionality related to data review and preparing/editing data for attendee-facing purposes.  It also provides an opportunity to refine the configuration based on feedback received from users or changes in business requirements.  Topics will vary but may include the following:

  • Task achievements and reports.
  • Use of Communication Module for subsequent communications.
  • Feedback review.
  • Synch Status (if using Eventscribe Website, Mobile App, or Survey Magnet)
