Copying Asset Reservations From Other Events

To save some data entry time, you can copy asset reservations from another event that has similar assets reserved. Use the extended menu of the “Reserve an Asset for this Event” button on the event “Asset Reservation” tab in order to start the copy process.

Copy Assets From Another Event

Once the copy dialog appears, select the event you would like to copy asset reservations from. Then, select each asset reservation you would like to copy over and enter the reservation details. When you’re done making your selections, click the “Submit” button at the bottom of the dialog to complete the copy process.

Import Assets From Another Event Dialog

Note: the ability to copy asset reservations from another event is only available if you are on the Premium or the Enterprise plan.

Filter Travel Reservations by Traveler

You can filter the event Travel Reservations tab by anyone who is tagged in your travel reservations. Use the filter button at the top-right corner of the event Travel Reservations tab to filter your list of reservations by traveler.

Asset Weight, Dimension, and Storage Footprint

When you edit an asset, you can specify its weight and dimensions (L x W x H). Additionally, you can specify the Packaged Weight and Dimensions for the asset. Packaged Weight and Dimensions (L x W x H) are the weight and dimensions of the asset when the asset is packaged/unassembled (while in storage or during shipment).

Weigh and Dimensions of an Asset

Storage Footprint

The Storage Footprint is the amount of space (volume) this asset occupies in storage.

Storage Footprint for Capital Assets

When viewing a Capital Asset (single-quantity items like your booth and display), the Storage Footprint is displayed underneath the Asset’s Status (right after the asset information).

The Storage Footprint for Capital Assets is calculated based on the asset’s dimensions.

Capital Asset Storage Footprint

Storage Footprint = Length x Width x Height

Note: If Packaged Dimensions are specified for an asset, then Packaged Dimensions will be used for the calculation of the asset’s Storage Footprint. Otherwise, the Item Dimensions will be used for the calculation of the asset’s Storage Footprint.

Storage Footprint for Collateral/Multi-quantity Items

When viewing a Collateral/Multi-quantity asset (like swag and marketing material), the Storage Footprint and the Projected/Future Storage Footprint are displayed underneath the Asset’s Quantity in Storage section of the page (right after the asset information).

The Storage Footprint for Collateral/Multi-quantity assets is calculated based on dimensions and quantity in storage.

Storage Footprint for Collateral Assets

Storage Footprint = [Quantity in Storage] x Length x Width x Height

If Packaged Dimensions are specified for an asset, then Packaged Dimensions will be used for the calculation of the asset’s Storage Footprint. Otherwise, the Item Dimensions will be used for the calculation of the asset’s Storage Footprint.

Note: Typically, Packaged Dimensions are only specified for Capital Assets (single-unit items like your booth, display and furniture). For Collateral/Multi-quantity items (like swag and marketing material), Packaged Dimensions can be left blank. But, if you would like to enter the Packaged Dimensions for a Collateral/Multi-quantity asset, please enter the Packaged Dimension of a single unit of the item (not the Packaged Dimensions of a group/pack of the item); this is because the calculation of Storage Footprint for Collateral/Multi-quantity items will take into consideration the quantity of the item available in storage – meaning that if you enter the Packaged Dimensions of a group/pack of the item, the Storage Footprint will become erroneously inflated.

Changing Units of Measurement for Asset Weight and Dimensions

You can change the units of measurement for asset weight and dimensions under Workspace Settings.

Event Attendee Double-book Warning

The event Attendee Double-book Warning is a visual indicator (a warning icon) that is displayed next to the attendee’s name (under the Event Staff tab) in case they are tagged as an attendee of another overlapping event – an event with at least one overlapping day based on the event start/end dates. This indicator helps you identify potential scheduling conflicts for attendees who may have accidentally been tagged in more than one event during the same period.

Event Attendee Double-book Warning

When you click on the warning icon next to an attendee’s name, a tooltip dialog will pop open and display the event(s) causing the conflict.

Customizing the Double-book Warning Behavior

You can customize the way you’d like to have Attendee Double-book Warnings work by going to Workspace Settings > “Attendee Double-book Warning Mode”.

Smart Mode (default setting)

When Smart mode is enabled, the system considers the event’s Participation Type to determine if double-book warnings should be displayed in case of attendee scheduling conflicts.

Specifically:

When viewing the event Staff tab, if a given attendee is also tagged in another event with at least one overlapping day (based on the event start/end dates), a warning icon is displayed next to the attendee’s name. This warning is only displayed if:

1) The event you are viewing is NOT marked as “Not Going”, and,

2) The other event that causes the conflict is marked as “Committed” (or marked with a custom event Participation Type).

Consider the following example:

John Doe is tagged as an attendee of Event A (which is marked as “Committed”). You create a new event, Event B, that has overlapping days with Event A. You go to Event B and mark it as “Considering” and you tag John Doe as an Attendee. The system will display a double-book warning icon next to John’s name when viewing the Staff tab of Event B (because John is already tagged in another event that is marked as “Committed”). Note: in this scenario, if you view the Staff tab of Event A, the system will not display a double-book warning icon next to John’s name (because the other overlapping event that John is tagged in, Event B, is marked as “Considering”). Let’s say you proceed to mark Event B as “Committed”; now, the system will display a double-book warning next to John Doe’s name when viewing the Staff tab of either Event A or Event B (because no matter which event you view, the other overlapping event John is tagged in is marked as “Committed”).

Strict Mode

When Strict Mode is enabled, the system displays double-book warnings for all event staff scheduling conflicts — regardless of the event’s Participation Type. Under any given event’s Staff tab, if any given attendee is also tagged as an attendee of another event with at least one overlapping day (based on the event start/end dates), a warning icon is displayed next to that attendee’s name.

Disabled

If Disabled is selected, the system will never display a double-book warning icon next to attendee names under the event Staff tab.
