Clicking the People tab in the Attendee App allows you to forge new connections with other attendees who joined the same event as you. The app's People tab has similar functions to those accessed in a browser. In this article, you'll learn the app's limitations compared to the browser's people tab.
Please ensure you install the latest app version to see the latest updates.
Accessing the People Tab in the App
Click People at the bottom once you've entered the event from the Attendee App. The People tab lets you easily find attendees using search filters for name, company, job title, or interests. You can also search by clicking any of the 3 sub-tabs:
All Attendees - this will show all the attendees who have entered the event.
My Connections - this tab will show only the attendees you are connected with.
Suggested - this will show attendees who have the same interests as you.
If you click on an attendee from the list, you'll see the rest of the information about the attendee. Below the attendee's name, you'll see other buttons allowing more interaction with that attendee.
Connection Request Button
To connect with another attendee, click the Connect button below their profile picture to request a connection. The button will turn grey after sending the request. Once the attendee approves your request, the button will disappear, and they will be added to your Connected tab.
Meeting Request Button
You can also request a meeting with another attendee by clicking the yellow Meet button below their profile picture. Enter the proposed meeting date, select a time zone from the dropdown and the preferred timeslot, and enter a short note as an option. Click the Send Request button when you're done and ready to send the meeting request.
Important Note: The app's meeting feature only allows you to set appointments. The actual meeting can only be conducted through a browser.
Once the meeting request is sent, it will be listed in My Meetings in the lobby, My Schedule in the agenda, and Meetings in your profile. You can click on a meeting to view its details, change the status, or reschedule.
Chat Button
You don't need to be connected with an attendee to start chatting with them. Simply click the chat button to send them a message. You can also exchange files by clicking the attachment icon.
Notifications
You'll get red badge notifications at the top of the screen next to your profile.
Bell icon - notifications for meetings, connections, push notifications, and session updates.
Chat icon - notifications for new direct messages.
Edit Your Profile
If you're viewing your profile from the People tab, you can also click edit to update it.
