ExhibitDay is the all-in-one Software-as-a-Service solution to track and manage your trade shows.

Adding Tags to Events

We just released the ability to add tags to your events in ExhibitDay.

Tagging Events

Tags are keywords or phrases that can be added to your events in order to classify each event. For example, you can tag an event with the name of the division in your organization that the event belongs to. Or, you can tag each event with its corresponding industry or geographical region. In other words, tags can be used as a classification/grouping mechanism for your events — however way you see fit…

Tags can be added to each event from the event view page.

Tag Events

Filtering Your Events by Tag

On the main Events page, you can see all the tags for each event. The new tag filter can be used to filter down the list of events by any number of tags.

Importing Events from a Spreadsheet

We just released the ability to Bulk Upload your events in ExhibitDay.

Bulk Upload From a Spreadsheet

To upload your events from a spreadsheet, click on the Bulk Upload Events link in the drop-down menu of the [Events] tab (in the top menu bar). You’ll be taken to a page where you can download the import spreadsheet template (in .xslx format).

Bulk Import Events

Once you have downloaded the template, open it in Microsoft Excel (or any other spreadsheet application capable of editing .xlsx files). Then, fill in all your events (in accordance with the columns specified in the template). Finally, use the [Upload] button at the bottom of the page to start the import process.

Once the upload is complete, you’ll be taken to the Import Review Screen where you can see the event(s) being imported (and make any necessary data adjustments). To complete the import, click on the [Submit] button at the bottom of the Import Review Screen.

Note: the Bulk Upload Process is limited to 100 events per upload. So, if you would like to import more than 100 events, you should break them down into batches of 100 events per spreadsheet and upload each batch separately.

Planning Virtual Events

While some trade shows are postponed or canceled indefinitely in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, others are going digital. With the ubiquity of the Internet and availability of online connectivity tools, Virtual Events have quickly become the Event Industry’s primary response to the pandemic.

We are all in this together; and, as always: The Show Must Go On…

We just released the ability to tag your Events in ExhibitDay as In-Person or Virtual.

Adding Virtual Events

When adding a new event, you can now choose the format of the event (In-Person or Virtual).

The Activity Feed

We are excited to announce the release of the Activity Feed module in ExhibitDay.

You can now view recent activity in your ExhibitDay Workspace using the new Activity Feed page.

User Activity Feed

You can Like or Comment on any activity in your feed. By default, when you comment on an activity, the Activity Principal (person who initiated the activity) gets an email notification about your comment; they can then, in return, respond to your comment on the activity. Other users who Liked or Commented on the same activity will receive an email notification as well.

Privacy / Access Control

Like all other data in your ExhibitDay Workspace, the Activity Feed is not publicly available (it is only available to users in your ExhibitDay Workspace).

Restricting Content on the Activity Feed

The content on the Activity Feed can be restricted for a given user to include only the activity for that user. This restriction can be enabled under: Workspace Settings > Users & Permissions.

Activity Feed Content Restriction

Disabling the Activity Feed

If you wish to disable the Activity Feed for your Workspace all-together, it can be done under your Workspace Settings.
