ExhibitDay

User Profiles and Contact Information

We just released the ability to view the profile of users and resources in your ExhibitDay workspace.

Viewing the Profile of a User or a Resource

You can view the profile of a user or a resource in your ExhibitDay workspace by clicking on their profile image (anywhere you see their profile image in ExhibitDay). The user profile pop-up dialog displays contact information (i.e. email, phone number, title) for the user/resource. The profile dialog also shows the events that the user is tagged in, as well as the user’s recent activity and logs. Additionally, for each event the user/resource is tagged in, you can view the nature of their involvement in the event.

Editing the Contact Information for Users

A user’s Name, Email, Phone Number, Company, and Title can be edited under Workspace Settings > Users & Permissions. This information can also be edited by the user himself/herself when they log into their ExhibitDay Account (under My Profile & Preferences section).

As a workspace Administrator, you can add additional notes about the user (e.g. their frequent flyer number, or seat preference) when you edit the user (under Workspace Settings > Users & Permissions). The Admin Notes field will be displayed in the user’s profile pop-up dialog; this field is only visible to Admin users in your ExhibitDay workspace.

Editing the Contact Information for Resources

A Resource is a “non-user” in your ExhibitDay workspace (i.e. no ExhibitDay account / no access to your Events). Essentially, they are people who participate in your trade shows and exhibits, but don’t have the need to log into your ExhibitDay workspace; like: speakers, independent sales personnel, contractors, specialists, and temporary staff.

As a workspace Administrator, you can edit the contact information (Name, Company, Title, Email, and Phone Number), for all the resources in your ExhibitDay workspace under Workspace Settings > Users & Permissions.

Duplicating a Task

We just released the ability to copy/duplicate tasks in ExhibitDay.

Copying / Duplicating a Task

Sometimes it might just be easier to create a new task by duplicating an existing task. If you have a task in ExhibitDay that you want to copy, you can use the new [Duplicate] button on the task edit form to make a copy of the task.

Pro-tip: you can also duplicate a task using the “Duplicate this Task” link on the task Context Menu (when you right-click on a task).

Make a duplicate copy of a task from the context menu

Note: If you want to copy all the tasks from one event to a new event, you can use the Event Copy feature (with the Copy Tasks option checked). For more information about copying events, please read this blog post.

Tracking Event-Specific Miscellaneous Expenses and Credits

Miscellaneous expenses (e.g. iPad giveaway, or Membership fees) and credits (e.g. partial booth service refund) for an event can be tracked under the [Misc. Expenses & Credits] tab of an event; this tab can be accessed via the extended menu on the event page tab strip.

Tracking Misc. Expenses and Credits for Trade Shows

Expenses entered under this tab will count towards the total actual costs of the Misc. Expenses line-item in the event-specific budget. Credit entries will show as negative amounts and will count against the total actual expenses for the event.

The Context Menu for Tasks

We just released the new Context Menu for tasks in ExhibitDay.

The Task Context Menu

You can open the task Context Menu by right-clicking anywhere on a task (or, ctrl-click / secondary click on an Apple/Mac device). The task Context Menu gives you quick access to the functions you need to manage your tasks. For example, you can edit a task, show/hide its details, or delete it.

Note: the task Context Menu is only available when accessing ExhibitDay using a desktop browser (it is not available on mobile/touch devices).

Exporting Collateral Transactions and Capital Asset Reservations to Spreadsheet

We just released the ability to export your Collateral Transactions and Capital Asset Reservations to spreadsheet format in ExhibitDay.

Exporting Collateral Transactions (.csv format)
