Dashboard

3 min. readlast update: 10.17.2023

The dashboard is your attendee's homebase for a virtual event. This is the page they will be directed to each time they log in to Obvio. The dashboard is fully customizable, so it can be aligned with your brand and mission. 

Dashboard Overview

Preview Mode

Preview mode allows the dashboard editor to view the dashboard as an attendee will see it. However, buttons will not open rooms in preview mode, instead the previewer will be redirected to the organization home page. Buttons are only able to be tested by creating a test attendee and entering the dashboard as an attendee would. 

To continue making edits to the dashboard, toggle preview mode off. 

Creating Buttons

Notes

  • Buttons on the main dashboard can reside either under the welcome message or near the bottom of the sidebar. 
  • Buttons can link to areas, pages inside of Obvio (such as speakers, sponsors, FAQs, etc.), or outside URLs.
    • If you are linking a button to an area, be sure the area is configured under the areas tab before attempting to link it to a button.
  • If a button are created, but you don't want attendees to see it, you can disable the button by moving the toggle to grey in the upper left corner. When you are ready for attendees to view/use the button, toggle the enable switch to blue. It will appear on attendee dashboards within 100 seconds.
  • Icons must be searched, they will not automatically populate. 
  • Icons will default to the text color, ONLY when the text color is defined within buttons setting. If you want your icons to appear white, you must define the text color as "white". 
  • Buttons cannot be tested from the editor or in preview mode. Buttons can only be tested by creating a test attendee account. 
  • Buttons now have new background options: gradient and image. Details and a demonstration can be found in the August 25th Obvio Call - begins at 1:15. 

Configuring the Sidebar

Includes editing the sidebar background color, text color, and defining the aesthetics of the sidebar itself. Overview of emojis, ribbons, and the agenda. 

Items Able to be Added to Sidebar 2.0

  • Agendas
  • Emojis
  • Resources
  • Points Summary
  • Sidebar Buttons
  • Ticket Ribbons

With the new updates to the sidebar, Obvio users are now able to reorder the items, only include the items necessary for their event, and add duplicate items if necessary. 

Notes

  • Emojis require outside hardware if you want attendees to be able to click on them and have them float up behind the speaker or host. 
    • Can choose from pre-selected emojis or upload custom emojis (150px square)
  • The agenda title can be customized (if you'd prefer to have it read "schedule", "run of show", etc.). 
  • Items in the agenda appear in the time zone of the device being used to view the dashboard. 
    • The agenda items will list the time zone they are displayed in directly to the right of the time (example: 9:00am CDT). 
    • Drag and drop to reorder agenda items. This will not impact the times displayed.
