Collections in Cadence provide a centralized way to organize and share content resources with your event attendees. From the Collections Menu › Settings area, you can create and configure collections that function like digital folders containing various materials such as PDFs, presentations, videos, and links for easy access.
When to use
When organizing event resources by topic, day, or category
When sharing presentation materials with attendees
When creating resource libraries for different attendee groups
When you need to track which content is being accessed most frequently
Before you start
You must have Admin or Event Manager permissions to create collections. Some advanced features may require System Administrator access.
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
Navigate to your event dashboard.
Select "Collections" from the left sidebar navigation.
If Collections doesn't appear in your navigation, you may need to add it as a menu item first through Event Setup > Menu.
Click the "+" button in the top right corner of the Collections page.
Enter a name for your collection in the "Collection Name" field.
Choose a descriptive name that clearly indicates the content type or purpose.
Select a status for your collection (Published or Draft).
Only Published collections will be visible to attendees. Draft collections are only visible to administrators.
Add a description to help attendees understand what they'll find in this collection.
Set visibility by choosing who can access this collection:
All (everyone can see it)
Specified (only visible to selected groups or attendance types)
Select specific groups or attendance types if you chose "Specified" visibility.
Click "Save" to create your empty collection.
Click on your newly created collection to open it.
Click the "+" button to add materials to your collection.
Select the type of content you want to add:
Upload a file (PDF, PowerPoint, etc.)
Add a link (website, video, etc.)
Select from existing materials
Complete the required fields for your selected content type.
Click "Save" to add the material to your collection.
Repeat steps 12-15 to add more materials as needed.
Troubleshooting
If you cannot create a collection:
Verify you have the correct permissions (Admin or Event Manager)
Check that your event license includes the Collections feature
Ensure you're not exceeding any storage limitations for your account
