I would like to use the template to upload submissions with the help of the csv template file (abstractimportsamplefile). However, I would like to add some coloms with input. What would be the best way for this? Looking forward to the tutorial on this.

Step 1: You need to first create fields for these questions in the "Submission questions" under the Abstract Submissions module.

Step 2: You need to first import them with basic columns eg. title, summary etc. 

Step 3: Once imported, you can go to the "Update Submissions" tab in the import view, and download the sample file which includes your previously imported abstracts and the extra columns for custom questions you created in step 1.

Step 4: Open the CSV, and update the additional columns in the sample file with abstract information. 

Step 5: Import the updated CSV back in to the system. That should import your submissions with all the custom information.

I want to confirm the actual rate limit setup for Dryfta API. i.e., how many requests per minute can I send

It allows up to 50 requests per minute.

Hello,


Is there a way to rename the days on my Agenda in the Program builder?

We are looking to have Pre-Conference Day 1, Pre-Conference Day 2, and then Day 1, Day2, Day 3.


For now it seems the days are named automatically

Please go to Program Builder > Settings to change the default day tabs with your custom titles.

I am integrating the Dryfta API for my organization so we can continuously and dynamically fetch data.

I am querying contacts either through the GET all endpoint, GET all by role endpoint, or the GET by ID endpoint. I wanted to use the "LOGGED IN DATE" to determine when the user last logged in to their account, but none of these services returned that field.

How possible is it for me to have this field returned via query?

PS: when the data is exported via CSV the "LOGGED IN DATE" is part of the parsed columns

"LOGGED IN DATE" can be fetched as last_loggedin_date by using LAST_LOGGEDIN_DATE as query parameter (e.g- F1=LAST_LOGGEDIN_DATE)

To include all fixed fields, use FIXED_FIELDS as query parameter (e.g- F1=FIXED_FIELDS)
For custom fields, use CUSTOM_FIELDS  as query parameter (e.g- F1=FIXED_FIELDS&F2=CUSTOM_FIELDS)

As a technical support person at our university, I have been asked to help out with custom domains for Dryfta conference sites.

It turns out Dryfta has constraints on custom domain names that don't fit our business cases (which, as far as I see, are the same as those of other universities).

When people organize a conference, workshop, or other scientific event, they often purchase a domain name specifically for that event. They explicitly do not want to use the organizing university's own domain name or branding, because the event is a collaborative effort and hosting usually changes from year to year.

So when organizing, say, the 21th International Symposium on Acme Widgets, they do not want to use acmewidgets2024.ouruniversity.edu; instead, they purchase something like acmewidgets2024.org and that is what they want to use. So the Dryfta conference site should have a name ending in acmewidgets2024.org.

Dryfta's constraints go against this. We are required to use a 3-component name of which the first must be equal to the name of the site in Dryfta. So for acmewidgets2024.dryfta.com, we can only create the custom domain name acmewidgets2024.acmewidgets2024.org. and create a redirection from acmewidgets2024.org to it. This is a bit crazy.

Why does this restriction exist? Can it be dropped?

Hi. 

We normally only allow subdomains as custom domains. However, since you have asked for it, please feel free to submit your root-level FQDN to configure as your custom domain for your specific event. You do not need to ensure your root-level domain name is same the domain name for your Dryfta event. 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Good morning,

I am having difficulty enabling surveys for sessions. I have followed the instructions, but do not see the option to enable surveys. Can you please show me how to do this?

Hi. Go to Program Builder. Edit a session, scroll down to the bottom of the page and there you should see the option to enable survey for the session. Click Yes to enable and then click on Save.

Alternatively, you can use the Bulk Edit tool to bulk update multiple sessions' survey settings at once.

Can you please ask them to try again now? It was due to a new setting (added an option for late-breaking reviewers to submit reviews, similar to the existing setting for late breaking authors submitting abstracts) under the submission type implemented earlier this week. It must now be working.

For the SBC WG event, I would like for people with accepted abstracts to accept and confirm that they will be presenting. Is there a way to do this beyond asking people to click withdraw if they can no longer present or change their presenting author to someone else? I'm looking for a third option where they click to confirm all details are accurate and they will be at the conference to present. Thank you!

To add JS, you need to click on the Settings icon in the top navigation bar in the backend and there you can add JS codes. It will need to be approved by a Dryfta Support Person before it can be used.

I need to accept a set of abstracts as poster presentations and a separate set of abstracts as oral presentations. Since both presentation types are very different, I need to be able to add some sort of note in the acceptance letter showing exactly what presentation type they have been accepted for. What is the best way to go about doing this? Thank you!

How can I create a real-time customized report and how can I share this with the LOC Committee? Before it was quite easy (add a tag LOC, add this tag to the contact; done!) but now I can not find how to do this. Or is there another way to share the registration info in real time?
Thanks,

Nicole

The process is still the same. You need to create a tag, select that tag in the custom report, and then assign this tag to the contact whom you want to have access to this report.
