Content Visibility Permissions

Content Visibility Permissions allows you to easily segment your attendee groups to manage multi-group events and maintain control over sensitive content. In larger meetings or events, event organizers need to control what information (often sensitive) is distributed to which segments of attendees. Groups like VIPs, executives, speakers, and exhibitors require access to different information, such as special session or happy hour details for VIPs, sensitive strategy and decision making content for executives, and booth resources for exhibitors.

Content Visibility Permissions allow event organizers to easily create and manage in-app content visibility rules in the CMS. Organizers can create multiple attendee groups and determine which list-type content is visible in each section of the app to each group. Sensitive information is now secure and only visible to the right groups.

Setting up Content Visibility Permissions

Create a General Tier in the CMS:

1. To use Content Visibility Permissions, first create an "All" or "General" tier in the CMS. All content uploaded is automatically placed in the "Default" tier, which should not be used.
2. To create the "General" tier in the CMS:
   1. Click on the 'Content tab', then click on the 'Tiers' button
      
      
      
      
   2. Click 'Add Tier'
      
      
      
      
3. Type in "General" and click 'Save Changes'.
   
   
   
   
4. Assign all Attendees, Agenda, Speaker, Exhibitor, and Custom List content in the CMS to this new General tier.

Creating Content Tiers

1. The import spreadsheet templates for Attendees, Agendas, Speakers, Exhibitors and Custom Lists will include a new column on the right hand side named "Tier Names". The Attendee template field will only accept one value. The other templates will accept multiple values separated by commas (e.g. "tier1,tier2,tier3,testtier,staff,executives). Importing these templates will create a tier in the CMS for every tier listed in the Tiers column. Make sure to include the General tier in this import.
2. Tiers can be created manually within the CMS in the Tiers section under Content, using steps 1-3 above.

Assigning Content to Tiers

There are 2 ways to import content and assign it to Tiers:

1. The import spreadsheet templates for Attendees, Agendas, Speakers, Exhibitors and Custom Lists will include a new column on the right hand side named "Tier Names". The Attendee template field will only accept one value. The other templates will accept multiple values separated by commas (e.g. "tier1,tier2,tier3,testtier,staff,executives).
2. Content can be manually added into Tiers. In the CMS, you'll see a new drop-down menu titled "Tier". You can select which Tier checkbox to assign content to.
