You can add tasks to your events by copying tasks from other events.
In order to copy tasks from another event, go to the [Tasks] tab of the event that you’d like to copy tasks into. Then, open the dropdown menu of the [New Task] button and select “Copy tasks from another event”.
Use the Copy Tasks pop-up dialog to select the event you’d like to copy tasks from, and choose the copy options you’d like to use. Then, click the [Submit] button at the bottom of the pop-up dialog to compelete the copy/import process.
You can personalize the colors of the calendar entries for your Events in ExhibitDay. Different color codes can be selected based on Event Participation type.
How to Change the Colors of Calendar Entries
To personalize the colors for your calendar entries, first switch to the Calendar View under the main Events tab. Then, click the Calendar Preferences icon (located at the top-right corner of the Events Calendar).
Note: any personalizations that you make to your Calendar View are only applied to your account; the Calendar View preferences for other users in your ExhibitDay Workspace will not get affected.
Personalization of the Event Calendar View is available to ExhibitDay Workspaces under the Premium and Enterprise plans.
Did you know?
Did you know that you can add up to 5 additional Event Participation Types for your Events in ExhibitDay? For more information about customizing your Event Participation Types, please see this post.
You can now specify a ‘Description’ for each Date/Time entry listed under the Exhibit Hall and Booth Setup/Dismantle sections of the Event Info tab. To specify a description for a Date/Time entry, click the ‘Add description’ link listed directly underneath the Date/Time row. The description field can be used to track notes (e.g. ‘Vendor Reception’, ‘Coffee Break / Dedicated Viewing’, etc.).
The Event Playbook can be used to create a schedule of various sessions and activities throughout the event (e.g., conference tracks, booth duty, meetings with clients, speaker sessions, demos, technical talks, etc.).
Changing the Numbers of Days in the ‘Prep’ and ‘Afterward’ Sections
The Event Playbook date range spans across a number of days prior-to and after the event (as shown under the ‘Prep’ and ‘Afterward’ sections of the Playbook tab) — this provides the ability to create schedules for activities that typically take place outside the date range of the event itself (e.g., welcome social, networking sessions, after-party, etc.); such activities tend to be scheduled a day-or-so prior to the start of the event, or, a day-or-so after the event ends. Therefore, the recommended date range setting for the Playbook is no more than 3 days prior to the event start date, and no more than 3 days after the event end date.
In order to change the Playbook’s number of days prior-to and number of days after the event, use the Event Layout Settings tab (accessible under the extended menu of the event tab strip).
Pro-tip: Entries in the Event Playbook can be synced with third-party calendars (like Google Calendar, and Outlook). For more information about syncing ExhibitDay with your calendar system, please see this blog post.
Asset reservations can now be tagged in Shipments for your Events in ExhibitDay.
Tagging a Reservation
