Service Activity Descriptions

Activity 1: Kickoff Call

This optional and highly recommended meeting serves as the formal start of the project.  The typical duration is 60 minutes or less.  The meeting will be scheduled by Cadmium upon Customer's request within the 'Get Started' Mission.  During this meeting, Cadmium will:

  • Establish critical milestones and target dates.
  • Gather implementation requirements
  • Discuss next steps including any tasks that are to be completed by the Customer
  • Schedule future training calls as needed.

The Customer is responsible for completing the Basic Settings, Graphics, and Launch Plan missions found on the product dashboard.

Activity 2: Initial Screen Design

This activity is typically needed only by novice customers and is completed upon request by the Customer.  Based on implementation requirements gathered, Cadmium configures a main screen navigation using a pre-selected templated configuration to serve as a starting point for further customization.

Activity 3: App First Draft Call

This optional meeting is used for reviewing the initial screen design and functionality of the main screen, along with bottom navigation bar selections.  It is conducted by Cadmium upon request by the Customer.  Sponsorship opportunities may be discussed.  Content must be added to all Harvesters and that data must be published to Eventscribe prior to the meeting.  Cadmium will provide testing guidance and explain the proper protocol for alerting Cadmium of any future change requirements.

Activity 4: Software Training

This optional activity is to train the Customer's Point of Contact on how to use the Cadmium provided software to support the Customer's business requirements.  A typical implementation includes up to 3-4 training calls with additional training available for complex use cases or extenuating circumstances.  It is Cadmium's goal to enable a Customer to use the software independently.  Training materials including tutorial clips and written instructions will be provided as needed.  Training sessions are scheduled upon request by Customer, conducted virtually, recorded upon request, and tailored to a Customer's specific needs which may include discussion about Customer's use case requirements or review of specific module features and functionality.  During calls, the Customer will be encouraged to share their screen so hands-on experience can be gained by the Customer.  Topics will vary, but may include the following:

  • Main Screen Design
  • Boost' functionality
  • Content buttons (slides, handouts, etc.)
  • Push Notifications
  • Content restrictions and filtering options
  • Exposing the App to users

Use of the following features are considered complex use cases and typically require additional training time:

  • Attendee List Configuration
  • Timed Content Access

Activity 5: White Label Container App

A White Label Container App is a customized app that is branded exclusively for an organization or event.  It is an alternative to utilizing Cadmium's Eventscribe App.  Upon request by the Customer, Cadmium will build the app as a White Label App using the Customer's developer account and will submit the App to the Apple and Google Play stores on behalf of the Customer.  The completion of this activity is contingent upon Customer successfully meeting all the following criteria:

  • Completion of the 'Container App Setup' Mission by the Customer
  • The Customer provides Cadmium admin-level access to the Customer's Apple/Google Play developer accounts and certificates.
  • Final design of the main screen by Customer.
  • The agreements of the Apple and Google Play Developer accounts are kept current by the Customer.
  • The customer notifies Cadmium of the approval or rejection of any submitted App build request, as received from Apple or Google.

Activity 6: Pre-Launch Review Call

This optional meeting serves as a final review of the final design and navigation choices, along with the format of content being displayed.  It is scheduled upon request by a Customer, and typically lasts 60 minutes or less, depending on the complexity of the Customer's use case.  During this call, all filtering will be reviewed, and modified if required, to ensure completeness and accuracy for each browsing option.

Activity 7: Quality Check

This activity allows Cadmium to conduct high-level functional testing for quality assurances before Launch.

  • Quality Checks can be requested from within the Launch Prep mission found on the product dashboard.

Activity 8: Promo Flyer

This activity's purpose is to help create promotional materials for the App targeting attendees and stakeholders.  Upon request by the Customer, Cadmium will provide a Promo Flyer template which can be changed as needed by the Customer.

Activity 9: Push Notification and Certification

Push Notifications are messages sent from the Customer to users of the App.  If requested by the Customer, Cadmium will conduct a training call that covers the functionality surrounding Push Notifications.  This meeting can be scheduled after the completion of the Data Decisions Mission, found on the product dashboard.  On Customer's behalf, Cadmium will work with Apple to ascertain a push notification certificate for iOS version of the App.  Certificates are valid for 1 year.  Communications with App users using the Push Notification system are solely the Customer's responsibility.

Activity 10: Post Event Configuration Review

This optional activity provides a retrospective review of a product configuration following an event, to achieve optimal configuration for a future event.  It is conducted upon request by the Customer and may take up to five (5) business days for completion.  If inefficiencies or suggestions for improvement are identified, detailed feedback will be provided to the Customer via Cadmium's ticketing system.  The Customer may request a training call for further explanation of the cited recommendations.  It is the Customer's responsibility to review and apply any configuration recommendations provided by Cadmium.
