Adjusting your Content and View Options

Admins can manage what content is visible to attendees in the Event Space and time formats (e.g., 24 hour format). These settings are in the Virtual Builder > Display menu > Content Options and View Options tabs.

Content Options

Admins can control what content is visible in the event space and what is hidden. This is a really important setting because you may have collected information that should remain confidential such as phone numbers or CVs. We highly recommend confirming these settings are correct before going live.

What options do I have?

You can manage the following settings:

• Affiliation Format - you can choose how the author's affiliation displays in the Event Space and exports.

  
  

• Acceptance Format - This setting allows you to hide or display the acceptance format which was applied to the submission. (e.g., Oral, Poster, Workshop, etc.)

  
  

• Topics - If this setting is turned on, the author's chosen topic(s) will be visible to all delegates.

  
  

• Final Submissions - If this setting is turned on, the file collected in Final Submissions will be visible to and downloadable by your delegates. 

  
  

  

  
  

• Presentation Files - If you have collected presentation material through the presentations module and authors have not opted out, you can share these files with delegates in the Event Space. If enabled and shared, authors can view all files in the event space. They can also download some files types such as PDF and Powerpoint files. They can never download video files.

  
  

• Countries - You can decide to show or hide your authors' countries if you collected them. Countries will be pulled in from the author profiles.

• Presentation Questions - By toggling this on, you will allow attendees to post public questions on presentations.
