Where to start creating an event.

Click on the Create Event button in the top right corner of your dashboard then go to Step 2.

What do the Actions icons mean.

Lets work through them in numerical order:

(1) Your avatar: Click on this to logout or change password.

(2) Meetings: This shows how many meetings there are within this event (1-4).

(3) Edit event icon: Where you can edit events that are either in Draft or have been Published.

(4) Unanswered questions: Click here to answer questions away from the meeting. Unanswered questions can be allocated to team members.

(5) Event Link: Click here to copy the link to the registration page for the event. For 1×1 or roundtable meetings, this is a calendar invite to send to your co-hosts from your own email should you choose.

(6) View Event Participants: Only visible for few to many meetings. This shows who has registered for your event.

(7) Disable Event: Use this to delete a draft or published event.

(8) Co-host(s): Displays co-hosts, connectivity diagnostics and the place to resend a meeting invite if needed.

(10) Sales Notes: This launches a back-up meeting notes section.

What is in the Analytics column.

Launch your meeting in Relate.

Click on the play button to open Relate. After you have logged in, click anywhere on the event that you want to launch.

If the event is 1×1 or roundtable, then you will next be invited to Start the Meeting. Before doing so, check your settings which are numbered in the image below as follows:

(1) Your preferred speaker

(2) Your preferred camera

(3) Your preferred microphone

(4) Auto-Switch speaker. If turned on, the person talking at the time will be on Main Screen. If turned off, you can select who is main screen by clicking on the person you would like to make main screen

(5) If you would like to mute everyone in the room

(6) If you would like to allow your co-hosts to share their screen

A pop-up with your customizable check-list appears after you click Start Meeting.

If the event is few to many, then you will next be invited to Join Waiting Room. In the waiting room, you and your co-hosts can prepare ahead of starting the meeting. Once you Start Meeting, then the meeting is Live for all other attendees, joining from their browser.

You can quickly message those coming to your meeting, via email, as follows. Click on the Tools icon in the footer. This will open up a right hand side pane with four tabs. Click on the Messaging tab as per the below image. There you will see a range of emails that you can send from welcome notes through to technical difficulties.

Click the Feedback tab to show the meeting agenda as well as workspace for you and the moderators that you have invited to help you manage live questions. A reminder that a moderator is a licensed individual from your organization who is not the designated host nor the presenter for this event. The moderator only has shared control over this tab and can also contribute to the intelligence gathered on the Resources tab. The moderator can also send messages from the Messaging tab. Note the layout of the Feedback tab as follows:

(1) Where you can move incoming questions to the agenda for the event. Note that your co-hosts can only see the agenda items for the event

(2) Where you send questions you want to respond to after the event instead of during it, from the Unanswered Questions section of your Relate Portal

(3) Check this box once the question has been asked during the meeting or when you think this agenda item has been addressed. The agenda item will move to the Answered section

(4) Click here to view agenda items that have been addressed. You can put them back on the agenda from here.
