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.
What is Badge Builder and how it helps my event?
Badge Builder lets you create custom badges for all your attendees at once by simply choosing a badge and clicking on print. You can also add a sponsor on the badge with name and logo, if you want to monetize your badge space.
The most important part of the badge builder is that it is a great tool to collect and manage leads. Here’s how: It displays QR code on the badge. The QR code has the details of the attendee embedded in it. So, when another attendee or an exhibitor, scans the QR code using the in-built scanner in the Dryfta Android app, the attendee’s data is saved in his list of vCards (leads).

The attendee scanning the QR code has that data saved in his list of vCards. For an exhibitor, the exhibitor’s representative simply has to scan the QR code using the in-built QR code scanner in Dryfta’s android app. The scanner scans the QR and saves it to exhibitor’s list of leads. Later, once the event is over, the exhibitor can export all the leads/vCards into a CSV format and import into Salesforce or any other CRM.
I want to approve people before they can purchase tickets for my event. Is that possible?
Of course, it is possible.
Go to Website builder > Navigation. Disable the Buy Tickets page, and Save.
This will make sure users can purchase tickets only when they log in to their dashboard.
Now, go to Settings in the top right corner, choose No for ‘New user registrations are approved automatically’ setting, and Save.
This will make sure users can log in to their dashboard only when you approve them. The login credentials are sent to them on registration but they cant log in unless and until you approve them.
How to use Event check-in tools to check-in attendees to event?
There’re three ways admins can check-in attendees to event.
#1 Guest Check-in tool
To Check-In an individual attendee at your event, go to Contacts and click on Guest Check-in. (Search for the name of the attendee if you do not see it in your currently open list.) Click on Check-In switch below the attendee’s name to check-in attendee to event. See screenshot below.
If you want certain volunteers to be able to access the Guest Check-in tool only, go to Roles & Access Control (only super user has access to this tool), create a custom role “Check-in Staff” and set access control for this role to Guest Check-in tool only.
Once roles are created and access controls are set, you just need to create admin accounts for your volunteer (if not created already), assign this newly created role and send them a welcome email to set their password and be able to log in to their dashboard.
#2 Event check-in using QR code
Additionally, a volunteer can check-in attendee using the built-in Event Check-in scanner in the Dryfta event app. The scanner would scan the QR code in the attendee’s badge and then checks the attendee into the event.
For volunteers to be able to view the Event Check-in scanner, they need to have an Admin account. Using the admin login credentials, volunteer can log in to the app and view the Event Check-in Scanner under the App Navigation.
#3 Check-in an individual attendee to the event
To Check-In an individual attendee at your event, go to Contacts. (Search for the name of the attendee if you do not see it in your currently open list.) Click on Check-In button in the left and attendee shall be checked in. See screenshot below.
The concerned attendee also receives an automated email that he/she has been checked in to.
