How to create an event app using Dryfta?

Simply go to sign up page on Dryfta.com. Sign up with your details and
desired event name. Log in to the event platform dashboard with the login credentials you received in your email. Set up your platform. When ready, go
to Mobile app builder > Event app settings, and Enable mobile app.
That’s it. The event you created will now be available on the Dryfta
event app. Make sure to open it with internet on so it could fetch the
latest events published on the app including yours.

I do not see my language in the list of supported languages

If you do not see your language in the list of languages supported by Dryfta platform, then it is not there yet. 

You can volunteer and help us translate the default language (English) by simply downloading the language files and translating them into your language.

Here’s the link for download the files along with instructions on translating the files. https://github.com/Dryfta/event-platform

How do I set up a call for papers and collect them from speakers?

To allow speakers to submit their papers, you need to enable the Abstracts & Reviews (enable the abstract & peer reviews app under Power Ups if not already enabled). Once enabled, a speaker can register as an attendee on the event website, login to the dashboard and click on My Abstracts. In My Abstracts, speaker has to click on Submit Abstract and fill the fields as required. Speaker has the option to either save it and submit later or submit right away. Once submitted, speaker has the option to edit the abstract (that option can be disabled by the event admin).

The event admin would assign the submitted abstract to a reviewer or multiple reviewers to review the abstract. The reviewers will receive notifications about the new assignment and can then log in to their dashboard and review the abstract. Reviewers can rate the abstract submitted and leave remarks. The event admin sees an average rating of the abstract based on all the ratings submitted from the assigned reviewers for that abstract. The event admin has the sole right to either accept the abstract or reject it or send for a re-review.

Once the abstract is accepted, a notification is sent to the speaker of the same. Later, event admin can create a session for the accepted abstract and associated speaker/s using Program Builder.

How do I keep track of the multiple groups that attend our event?

 To keep track of the multiple groups that attend your event, go to Segmentation under Reports (Enable Reports under Power Ups if you have not already done so), create a new segment, choose a contact type viz. attendees, speakers, authors, reviewers etc., choose the associated fields with which you would separate the groups, and Save.

For example, to create a list of a group of attendees who are female and are from New York, you would need to select the usertype attendees, then select female filter from the Gender field, select New York filter in the State and Country field, and then save. After saving the segment, go to the list displaying all the segments, click on View Segment and you shall see a list of all attendees who are female and from NY.
