Document Your Custom Speaker Label Choices for Team Reference
The Schedule Labels section in Cadence allows you to create a consistent terminology experience across your event. After customizing the Speaker label in the Schedule Menu › Labels area, documenting these choices helps ensure all team members understand and consistently use your custom terminology, creating a more cohesive experience for both your team and attendees.
When to use
When implementing custom Speaker labels across multiple events
When onboarding new team members to your event management process
When creating style guides for your organization's events
When preparing handoff documentation for event management transitions
You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to access the Schedule Labels section. Any custom labels should already be configured before documenting them.
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence account.
Navigate to your event dashboard.
Click on "Schedule" in the left sidebar menu.
Select "Labels" from the submenu that appears.
Review your current Speaker label customization.
Take screenshots of your label settings to include in your documentation.
Create a documentation file using your preferred tool (Word, Google Docs, etc.).
Add a title that clearly identifies the document purpose and event name.
Include the date of documentation and the name of the person who configured the labels.
Document the Speaker label with its original term and customized replacement.
For example: "Speaker" has been customized to "Presenter" throughout the attendee interface.
Note any specific reasons for the Speaker label customization to provide context.
Explaining why certain terms were chosen helps team members understand and remember the custom terminology.
List all places where the custom Speaker label appears in the attendee experience.
Remember that custom labels appear on web and mobile apps but continue to show the original "Speaker" label in the admin interface.
Save your documentation in a shared location accessible to all team members.
Distribute the documentation to your event team and stakeholders.
Update the documentation whenever label customizations change.
Troubleshooting
If your custom Speaker label isn't appearing in the mobile app, ensure you're using the latest version of the Cadence app (v2.7.387 for iOS or v2.7.404 for Android) and try refreshing your event data.
