How to enable or disable networking for attendees?

Discover the "Networking" property of attendees and how it works

The Networking property determines whether attendees will have access to social modules such as Explore, Messages, Meetings, and Channels. This feature fosters community among attendees, allowing them to get to know each other and interact during the event.

+info 👉What is the attendees module?

To begin, you should know that in an event you can have 4 levels of control over the attendees' networking

1. All attendees can network
2. No attendees can network
3. Only attendees defined by the organizer can network
4. Each attendee decides if they want to network or not

Configuration:

If you want to define who can network, do the following:

1. In Properties > Import click on the add property button.

2. Activate the Networking property and save the changes by clicking on "add property/s"

3. In the List of attendees section, assign them the YES or NO option in the networking property. Select their email and click the "View/Edit" button.

By setting this property, attendees with Networking > NO will have the following options hidden:

• Menu/Meetings
• List of meetings
• Exhibitor/Contact box
• Attendee list (EV Web only): Contact button hidden in all cases.
• Attendee profile (Web and app): Same as Attendee list
• Menu/Channels (Web and app)
• Menu/Open Meetings (App only)

How to allow attendees to decide if they want to do Networking or not?

By default the Networking property is not activated. You can activate this property at three levels so that it can be defined by the attendee itself:
