• Allow sign-in bypass: Allow users direct access without registration or login
• Log in button: Show or hide the login button in the front end of the app

You can use the options in various combinations:

• If you want the app open to the public: tick “allow sign-in bypass” and “allow self sign-in” and/or ”allow social media sign-in”.

• If you want users to log in from a non-registered email: tick “allow self sign-in” and “allow social media sign-in” only.

In angage.events, we have many interactive features:

• Q&A: You can create as many Q&As as you want, and attach them to a particular agenda session or make them global. You can activate anonymous posting, require the login, add the upvote functionality (Like), choose to automatically publish all incoming questions, or manage them from the back office with the moderation view. Moreover, an individual display link is available for each Q&A to project live on screen.

• Survey: Create a questionnaire with successive questions displayed one below the other.

• Poll: Create a live poll where each question is shown one after the other (slide-show like).

• Game: Integrate gamified voting, e.g. in the form of a knowledge quiz including countdown timer, check mark for a correct answer, ranking list, and end message

In the back office, go to Design. In the Theme Studio you can customize the color scheme and logos of your app. Set your colors using the color palette, HEX, RGB, or HSL. The changes you make in the color scheme are displayed in real-time in the smartphone preview. Add your logo, banners, and other graphic items. Please pay attention to the required size formats.

Go to Design > Widgets where you can fill the welcome page of your app with widgets. You can add a location (Google Maps integration), an image, or a timer. 

Image: When adding an image, please choose the size first and upload your image as png. or jpeg/jpg., preferably in the correct size. If needed, you can crop the image after uploading it. Optionally, you can add text on your widget. Link your widget to an event app module or an external link. Save your changes. (If it is an in-app link, please insert the relative link. Example : /attendees/*** Instead of “***.angage.events/attendees/***  No to absolute in-app links! Yes to absolute external links!) 

Location: Chose the format size and type in your preferred address. Select the given options and save.

Timer: Select the end date and the end time of your countdown. Most importantly, do not forget to select the correct time zone!

If you want to upload a video or a GIF, chose an Image widget and upload it there.

In the back office, go to Event content > Agenda. You can either add a single session if you click on + Add and fill out the form. Use the description editor to add rich content like text, videos, images, PDFs, social media links, etc. The other option is to add multiple sessions at once via the Excel template. For this, click on Export. Tip: Firstly, add a single session in the back office and export the Excel template afterward. Thus you see the exact specifications for the correct way of filling out the agenda template. You can also activate a 5-star ranking for this session, attach speakers, assign sessions as favorite or registered for users, and activate the Add to Schedule feature which allows your participants to mark their favorite sessions. For a more detailed description and useful tips on how to set up an agenda, please refer to our admin guidelines.

If you want to create another agenda (e.g. because you will have parallel sessions at your event), please go to Design > Menu and duplicate the agenda module and name it differently. Then refresh the back office page and go to Event content > Agenda to find your newly duplicated agenda. With a custom page you can integrate your different agendas.

In the Agenda module, you will find the link to My Agenda, the personalized agenda link. Please copy and paste it in your homepage widgets or side menu for attendees to access only their dedicated sessions.

In order to assign attendees to sessions, you can either use the excel import or add those manually using: 

• Add as favorite session for (attendees will be able to remove the added sessions)
• Add as registered session for (attendees will not be able to remove the added sessions themselves)

With angage.events you can create different user groups in the People module, thereby categorizing and managing your participants optimally. By default you will have an attendee and a speaker list that you can fill and display in the app (optionally hiding these lists is also possible). You can also rename the default lists and/or add new lists/groups. Having a participant list is especially helpful if you only want a certain group of people to have access to your app. Moreover, you can use the People module in combination with the registration tool.

Go to the People section and click on View Groups. Add a new group by clicking on +Create Group. Now you can add users to the new group in two ways: 

1. Click on +Add User and fill out the form. In the end you can tick the Speaker button and also decide to activate the rating for this speaker.
2. Click on the gearweel (next to +Add User) and click on Export to download the Excel template. Now you can add users in the template and mark speakers with a 1 in the Speaker column. (Please keep in mind to not fill out the ID column.) Once you’re done you can upload the template by clicking on Import in the gearweel.

You can integrate the speaker list in the front app in your app via Design > Menu. By default you will find the speaker list already integrated. Every user that is marked as “Speaker” in the People section will appear in the speaker list. You can also copy the group link (gearweel > share group) and embed the group link by clicking on +Add in the menu section and thereby creating a new module.

You have two options to display your sponsors:

1. You can display your sponsors by creating an editable page. For this option, please go to Event content > Custom pages > Editable Pages. Now click on the +Add button to create a new editable page. Chose a title for the page, e.g. Sponsors. Now you can either add a pdf, an image, a GIF, or embed a sponsor webpage in the description field.
2. You can create a sponsor list. Please go to the People section and click on View Groups. Click on +Create Group and give it a name. Now you can add users manually or via excel template. After doing so, click on the gearwheel (next to +Add user) and then on Share group. This way you will copy the front end link for this group and you can integrate it as a new page in the Design > Menu section.

Go to Event content > Custom pages > Editable pages. Create a new page or edit an existing one. To include a PDF file within the custom page, click in the description box on More Rich (plus sign with three dots) and then on Upload File. Using this method, you will get a link on the custom page that will take you out of the app when you open it to view the PDF file. If you want the PDF file to be displayed directly in the app, please first carry out the step described above. Now click on the PDF element that you have created on the custom page, then on the pencil, and now copy the URL. Now click on Embed URL (in the More Rich section) and paste the copied link. Now the PDF file opens within the description box and is directly embedded into the front end of the app.

Go to Design > Menu and click on +Add in the top right corner. Chose to add an external link or an event app module and give the new module a title. Please remember to click Submit at the bottom right of the page to save your changes.

You can also duplicate existing modules by clicking on the double page icon of the respective module. If you do so, please click Submit at the bottom right of the page and refresh the page afterward to be able to see the newly duplicated modules in the Event content section.

Go to Design > Menu to manage the display of the modules in the app. Publish sections by moving the slider to the right (orange). If the slider is grayed out by moving it to the left, the module is not visible at the front end of the app.

You can set the default language for the static texts and buttons. In the back office, go to Main. Here you can set the default language for your app. Optionally, you can also tick Let participants select language. This way users can change to other languages than the default one. Please keep in mind that the language setting is ONLY applicable to the static texts and buttons in the app.

In the back office, go to Event content > Polls. In the Action column, click on the statistic icon saying View chart results. This opens a new window in your browser. The display link is unique for every question. You can edit the type of chart and the color scheme. 

For the Q&A results, go to Event content > Q&A. In the Action column, click on the quadratic speech bubble icon which takes you to the next page (this icon is only available when at least one question has been posted for a Q&A). In the top right corner you will find two buttons. The Display View opens a new window and shows all questions in real-time. You can present this view to your audience. The Moderation View is for you to manage all incoming questions (hide or show). The URL links for both views are unique so that you can prepare for live Q&A’s in advance.

In the back office, go to Design > Menu. You will find a module called Activity Feed which you can choose to publish or hide. If logged in as an admin, you can delete the posts you do not approve of, directly from the front end of the feed/of your app.

If you want to engage your participants with a discussion, you can use the Q&A tool. In the back office, go to Event content > Q&A and click on +Add to create a new Q&A. You can create as many Q&As as you want, and attach them to a particular agenda session or make them global. You can activate anonymous posting, require the login, add the upvote functionality (Like), choose to automatically publish all incoming questions, or manage them from the back office with the moderation view. Moreover, an individual display link is available for each Q&A to project live on screen.

The leaderboard shows the participants who best answered the questions during the event. When creating polls/surveys/games you can attach points to the correct answers. This way your participants can collect points when they are logged in with their profile. The leaderboard is automatically updated when new polls/surveys/games are published and your participants responded. You can find the leaderboard in the back office, when you go to Design > Menu. You can choose to publish or hide the leaderboard.

You can import data for agendas and people.

• Go to Event content > Agenda. Click on the gearweel and then on Export. Fill the downloaded Excel file with your data. Upload the file by clicking on Import in the settings gearweel. We recommend adding at least one agenda session manually in the back office before exporting the Excel template.
