How to understand the purpose and benefits of Collections
The Collections menu in Cadence provides a centralized location for organizing and sharing content resources with your event attendees. Collections function like digital folders that can contain various types of materials such as PDFs, presentations, videos, and links, making it easy for attendees to find and access important information before, during, and after your event.
When to use
When you need to organize event resources in a centralized location
When you want to create topic-based or category-based content groupings
When you need to share materials with specific attendee groups
When you want to track content engagement and access statistics
You must have Admin or Event Manager permissions to access and configure Collections in your event.
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
Navigate to your event dashboard.
Click on "Collections" in the left sidebar navigation.
If you don't see Collections in your navigation, you may need to add it as a menu item first through Event Setup > Menu.
Review the Collections landing page to understand its structure:
Collections are like folders that contain individual content items
Content can include PDFs, videos, presentations, links, and more
Collections can be organized by topic, day, or any logical grouping
Explore the "Recently Viewed" section to see what content attendees are accessing most frequently.
This section can be disabled in Settings if you prefer not to display recently viewed content.
Click on any existing collection to view its contents and structure.
Note the different view options (list view and grid view) for displaying collection content.
Observe how collections can be followed by attendees, allowing them to receive notifications when new content is added.
Review the visibility settings that determine which attendees can access specific collections.
Consider how collections can support your event goals by:
Providing pre-event materials to prepare attendees
Sharing session recordings and presentations during and after the event
Organizing resources by track, topic, or speaker
Creating specialized resource libraries for different attendee groups
Troubleshooting
If Collections is not available in your event:
Verify you have Admin or Event Manager permissions
Confirm the Collections feature is included in your Cadence license type
Check that Collections has been added as a menu item in Event Setup > Menu
