Sharing Content with Attendees Using Eventscribe's Information Pages

Information Pages are a flexible tool that lets you share content with attendees that doesn't automatically come over from Eventscribe's Speaker Management or Exhibitor Management products, such as onsite WiFi information, event policies, FAQs, hotel information, or venue floor plans.  They're most commonly used for Event Info, General Info, or Digital Grab Bag tiles on the main screen of your app.

This article explains how to create an Information Page in Eventscribe, add content to it, and link it to a tile on your app’s main screen.

Creating an Information Page

Follow these steps to create a new page and make it available to attendees.

Open the Information Pages Content Tool.

Select the Content icon in the Eventscribe dashboard.  Then select the Information Pages tile (Fig. 1).

Element Types

Each Information Page is made up of one or more elements.  You can choose from three element types and you can mix and match them on a single page

Text Elements

Text elements display blocks of formatted text within the Information Page.  Use the built-in rich text editor in the pop-up to apply formatting such as bold, italics, and bullet points.

Best for:

• Welcome messages or event overviews
• Contact details or venue information
• Event policies, FAQs, or codes of conduct
• Registration Desk details
• Onsite WiFi information

Action Elements

Action elements trigger built-in app functions when tapped by an attendee.  Use them to direct users to specific areas of the app or external destinations.

Common actions include:

• Opening a web link
• Jumping to another section of the app

PDF Elements

PDF elements link attendees directly to an uploaded PDF file.  When tapped, the app downloads the file to the user's device before displaying it.

Best for:

• Handouts not managed in Speaker Management or Exhibitor Management
• Maps, additional floor plans, or resource guides

Linking a Tile to an Information Page

Once your Information Page is ready, you'll need to connect it to a tile on your app's main screen so attendees can find it.

1. Open the main screen editor.  On the Mobile App dashboard, select "Main Screen."
2. Select the tile to edit.  Select the gear icon in the top-right corner of the tile you want to link.
3. Set the tile action.  Select the "Action" tab, then choose "81 – Go to information pages section."  Select the specific Information Page you want the tile to display, then click "Update Preview."
4. Publish your changes.  Select "Save and Publish" to push the updates live to your app.
