What are the functionalities and control settings of Admin on FLOOR

How is the role of Admin different from that of Host

There are certain functions and features on FLOOR which the organizer often does not want a host to have access to. Host is basically the moderator at the event so his access should be restricted to only the event's session activities on FLOOR.

Keeping this in mind, we have divided the role of host and admin in such a way that

  • Host can only control the activities on FLOOR while Admin, apart from FLOOR activities, also has access to the back-end Partner Dashboard to modify/ update any information about the event and to the settings on FLOOR.

  • Also, Host can Go Live on stage and share the screen with the panelists. But if the Admin goes Live on stage, he will not be visible to audience and won't be able to participate unless he clicks on Join Panel as shown below.

  • Admins can handover stage to any panelist/ user.

Note: We recommend admins not to join panel unless it is need of the hour!

Note: To exit the panel, you need to click on "Exit Room" on bottom right

The Admin dashboard comprises of all the features required to control the event and make it a big success.

1. SETTINGS

This feature allows you to enable/ disable the required landing pages.

Consequently, these categories won't be visible to attendees in the left menu of their screen.

Moreover, since there are too many options for the audience/ attendees on FLOOR, one of our important concerns during the event remains that the attendance of the visitors is intact and we do not loose any visitors in the sessions.

Therefore, you being a admin can anytime disable those options like lounges/ booths when the session is ongoing and if you wish to restrict them and do not want to loose them during sessions.

FLOOR

This option allows you to customize the look of your FLOOR.

a) Rename: You can rename the FLOOR as map, layout or any custom name.

b) Floor View Mode: This option lets you select the Floor Layout if you want to keep it as 3D Block View or 3D Layout

c) 3D Layout Map: You can choose the designs for your FLOOR layout as per the theme of your event.

d) Font Theme: Look & Feel as you like!

You can change Font of Floor

c. Color Theme: You may select the theme of the Floor whether you want to keep it Dark or Light

e) Landing Page: This option will allow you to set Default Landing Page for your audience, where they would first land after logging in the event.

f) Allow Theme Switching: This allows/ restricts Users to override default color theme.

g) Enable Social Wall: This will allow users to post and share feeds for the event and will give option to users at the bottom left of their screen with "#" icon

h) Festival Mood Add-Ons: This option allows you to select Festive theme on stage with options Snowflakes and Light.

i) Enable Organizer Logo: With this option you may display/ hide organizer logo in Partners tab

RENAME Main Menu Items

You can RENAME FLOOR Stage, Lobby, Lounge VIP Lounge, Booths and Helpdesk. You can either choose from the default options from the drop down or can event enter custom title name:

LOBBY

You may enable/ disable the option to include/ exclude public lobby option

LOUNGE

This allows the Admin to control over networking option in the lounge.

  • Admin can Rename the section Lounge

  • It is on the discretion of the Admin to make the networking table as private, by which users can lock their seats for private conversations.

  • The Admin can enable / disable the "Watch Table" option on the networking table which allows users to watch the ongoing conversation on the table anonymously.

  • Admin can also control number of tables and number of seats per table to open in lounge

Note: A few of the above features depend on the plan you have chosen. Kindly refer to this article to know more about how to set up and rebrand tables.

VIP LOUNGE

You may also enable/ disable the option VIP lounge/ Networking, meant for your panelists, in case, they do not want to connect with users in Lounge.

BOOTHS

If you do not have exhibitors in your event, then you may disable the booth and networking pages through these options

HELPDESK

As the name suggests, this may include one or two members (depending upon the number of attendees) from your organization who can always be available for help to your visitors/ attendees. For instance, if anyone faces any issues during the event, related to mic or camera, they may reach out to people available at the reception and share their concern. This encourages customer support.

Also, FLOOR has default videos on Visitor and Exhibitor Instructions uploaded in the Helpdesk Section. A few organizers demand to upload their own customized videos in addition to the existing ones or in place of them.

So yes, we allow you to select your own logo on screen through this drag & drop option. The logo will be displayed on the bottom right corner of the stage, besides FLOOR logo (shown below)

Note: You may also display your VIP sponsors' logo here to facilitate sponsorship in various sessions, if required.

SELFIE BOOTH

Compel your audience to flaunt with their eye-catching selfies on their social accounts. This in turn would help in advertising and promoting your event.

You can also Brand these photo booths with your own Logo.

With this feature, users can take their selfie on the event FLOOR, via Share & Invite link and share the same on their social media links. The image for the booth can be changed by clicking on the highlighted icon and it should be in PNG format.

Note:

  • You can edit and brand the frame with your logo image only in premium+ and enterprise accounts.

VIRTUAL BACKGROUND

You can enable this feature for your panelists and booth owners to change their virtual background. Just enable the two toggles below to make the feature live.

Note:

  • This feature is applicable for panelists and booth owners only.

  • You get this feature in Premium Plus and Enterprise plans only. In the Premium Plus Account, you will have only the hand picked images (default templates) while Upload Custom Image feature is in the Enterprise Plan only.

  • The image would look flipped/ reverse/ mirror image to those who have performed the action of changing the background but it would look fine (ideal orientation) to the audience.

    For instance, in the above GIF image, the FLOOR logo is the mirror image. However, to the audience on the front stage it will be a real image.
