How to use the What's On Module to show conference agendas?
The What's On Module is useful for presenting information in categories. It can be used to present conference agendas and itineraries on tablet screens.
There are 3 Menu Layouts available to present this information. In the below example, we will use the Compact Menu layout, but the Classic and List Menu Layouts are also useful. The Menu Layout can be easily changed if you want to use a different format.
To set up a What's On Module to show conference agendas:
1. Set up the Location Group that includes the conference delegate rooms. See Location Groups . This way, the conference information is targeted to only the attendees of the conference.
2. Add the days or sessions as Categories. The Categories appear on the left-hand side of the tablet screen. When tapped on the Pages list on the right-hand side. The Categories function like headings that organise the Pages.
3. Add Pages to the Categories. The conference sessions, activities, workshops, or events are added as individual Pages. Within the pages, you can link to external websites, PDFs, booking requests, or other Pages for more information or content if necessary. Please note: creating links on a What's On-Page is the same process as for Promotions Pages.
4. Create a Navigation Button to appear on the Navigation Screen so delegates can see the information. The button can be set up, using Location Groups, so that only the conference delegates see it.
5. Create a Welcome Message, to appear on the tablet Start screen, just for conference delegates.
6. Send a Message to the tablet screen letting delegates know conference information.
Step 1: Add Categories - e.g. Days
Step 2: Create new Pages - e.g. Agenda items, activities, or sessions
In this example, we are creating a Page called Golf Day and targeting it at the Group called 'Technology Conference'. See How do I add a Location Group? for how to set up a Location Group to allow content targeting. You can also set a start and end date for the appearance of the information.
The Pages appear as a list down the right-hand side of the screen. You can add any number of Pages, which will scroll vertically.

with information about the hotel.
