Configuring the Back Office Settings for the My Meetings Control

Web users can view the following information on the My Meetings control:

·            Event Name
The event must be web-enabled in the back office to direct web users to the Meeting Detail page. There are numerous components that will display on the Meeting Detail page, see Configuring the Back Office Settings for the Meeting Detail Control for more information.

·            Date/Time
The following system types and codes need to be configured in order for time zone information to display on the e-Business website. See Enabling System Types and Codes for the Web for more information how to web enable system types and codes.

o           TIME_ZONE
The time zone values are populated based on the subcodes defined for the non-fixed MTG "TIME_ZONE" system type. All the subcodes listed in the "TIME_ZONE" system type must be web-enabled in order to display on this control.

§            The Time Zone Offset field (Option 1) for the TIME_ZONE system type is used to track the offset number of hours in relation to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For example, Eastern Standard Time (EST) is minus 5 hours from GMT.

§            The Time Zone Code field (Option 3) for the TIME_ZONE system type is used to display the description of the time zone to your users on the web. You can change the text in this field if you would like to display a different message to your users on the web.

These fields are pre-populated with the system types and codes that are delivered with Personify360. In addition, 100 plus time zones have already been pre-defined as codes within this type in the back office.

·            Location
A meeting must have a facility defined in order for the Location of the event to display. The city and state defined for the facility will display. If the web user wants to view more location information, such as room or booth, he/she must click the hyperlinked name of the event to go to the Meeting Details page.

·            View Registration
The View Registration link allows web users to return to their Registration Summary page and edit any information. No additional back office set up is required for this option.

If system type and code are not displaying on my web page even though they are web-enabled it in the back office, you must check the data cache. The data is cached in the Data Services, so changing the back office settings will not change what is displayed on the control automatically. The Data Services cache needs to be cleared in order to reflect the back office configurations. The best way to clear the cache is do an Application Pool reset on the Data Services, which will be located on the server. In order to reflect the most recent back office configurations, the cache will need to be cleared after each push. It is also possible to set a value in the configuration file to clear the cache every [number] of minutes. By default, the site cache will automatically clear when the site is idle for thirty minutes and this typically occurs overnight. See Setting up Online Store and App Data Cache for more information.
