Netforum

77 Clicks to Zero…What NetForum Alternate Profiles Can Do for You

“I can’t find the member’s most recent contribution! Which tab has the topics the member is interested in? Where are the notes again? And is that on the organization or the individual profile? I don’t see that tab. Where did it go? The member didn’t have time to wait on me to find the information.”

If you have heard these questions and complaints from your users, or if you have had them yourself, then this session may be for you. Not every association is the same. And each department has its own responsibilities and demands. For some, speed is of the essence. In this session, we’ll explore how NetForum alternate profiles allowed one association to address the individual data needs of disparate teams from the organization profile page, making the teams more efficient and quicker to respond to the needs of its members. We’ll discover how the association combined information about the organization with details about the contacts into a single view, how data was organized and displayed based on what was most important to each team, how data can be updated, how new information can be inserted from the profile page.

In this session, you’ll learn how the developers used a baseline control called XslGenerator.ascx to create multiple data-centric “cards” using XML and XSL. We’ll give you examples of how SQL statements were built into the XML to retrieve the desired data set and how XSL was used to display that data in a formatted and templated manner. This enabled the creation of multiple controls on one form with different data points for a single profile form detail.

77. That is the number of clicks one alternate profile saved this association’s NetForum users. If that’s important to you, then this session is for you! (Advanced)

Level up your eWeb eXperience!

Take Your Events to the Next Level

At most association industry events, whether they’re large conferences or small meetings, the challenge lies in maximizing the time and experience of attendees. Events are key for attendees to connect to top experts, rub shoulders with their professional network, and gather valuable insights to leverage in their career. During most association industry events-large conferences or small meetings, the problem is always maximizing time and experience of attendees. Leveraging your event module successfully to engage members and provide them a place to share ideas, attendees have just a few days to gain access to top experts, rub shoulders with hundreds or even thousands of like-minded professionals, and fill their mobile phones with large amounts of new contacts and notes for growing their business or career. Then, with tickets, various attendee types and promo codes, one of the greatest mistakes you can make when providing an event module is waiting until the event is over to try and figure out if your module setup was successful or not.
