Defining a Meeting/Session Product for Mobile

Meeting products configured for the Mobile Application appear in the Events module. Users can drill down into meeting session products such as conferences, webinars, and workshops when viewing a specific event through the mobile application.

For meeting products to appear in the Events module, the meeting product must have an Active e-Business Control and an Active Mobile Control by meeting the following requirements in the Personify back office:

·            Product Area = Meeting Subsystem

·            Product Type = Meeting or Break-Out Session

·            Product Status = Active

·            Available from = a past date or today’s date

·            Available thru = null, today’s date, or future date

·            Web Display Begin Date = less than or equal to today’s date

·            Web Display End Date = null or greater than today’s date

·            Web Enabled Rate = selected

·            Mobile Begin Date = less than or equal to today’s date

·            Mobile End Date = null or greater than today’s date

·            Available to Order = selected

If a user has a credit card on file, he or she can register for the event directly from their mobile device.

For more information on additional setup required for the mobile app, please see Configuring Meeting Products for Mobile Events.

To configure a meeting product for registration on mobile:

The Product Maintenance search screen displays.

2.    Click Search to find a product or click Create New Product.

5.    If necessary, select the To date as today or a future date.

The product only appears in the Mobile store during these dates. However, products will not display on the Events screen in the mobile app if the End Date of the meeting has passed, regardless of the To date specified here.

The application automatically resizes the second image.
