The Onboarding menu in Cadence allows you to design a comprehensive multi-step experience for attendees when they first access your event. By configuring various components across the Fields, Welcome, Terms & Conditions, and Video tabs, you can create a structured flow that collects necessary information while providing a smooth introduction to your event.
Before you start
You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to configure the onboarding experience.
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
Navigate to your event dashboard.
Select "Onboarding" from the left sidebar menu.
Configure the welcome screen first:
Click the "Welcome" tab
Enter a header for your welcome message
Type your welcome content in the text editor
Click "Save"
Set up custom fields collection:
Click the "Fields" tab
Check "Enable Event-Level Custom Fields" if needed
Choose "All fields" or "Selected fields" based on your requirements
Select specific fields if you chose "Selected fields"
Click "Save"
Limit the number of required fields to improve completion rates.
Add terms and conditions if required:
Click the "Terms & Conditions" tab
Enter a header for your terms
Type your terms content in the text editor
Click "Save"
Consider having your legal team review the content before publishing to ensure it meets all compliance requirements.
Include a video introduction if desired:
Click the "Video" tab
Enter a header for your video
Select an existing video or upload a new one
Click "Save"
Video materials added via embedded code, YouTube or Vimeo URL are not supported on mobile apps for playback within onboarding.
Adjust the sequence order in the "Settings" tab if needed.
Test the complete onboarding flow:
Go to "Event Setup" > "Onboarding" > "Reset Onboarding"
Search for a test user account
Click "Reset Onboarding" next to their name
Log in as that user to experience the flow
