    Hello, all! For this edition of Tip of the Week, we wanted to cover our current top suggestions of Knowledge Base articles that you should be checking out and bookmarking in your day-to-day Cvent use to keep up your success.

    This is an awesome list! Thank you for compiling it all together. A number of people in my team are about to get back into Cvent after  a few months off and this post will be the perfect way for them to get a refresher - And hopefully keep them from harassing me with a million questions ;) 

    Thanks!

    This is great information for a refresher!  After having been home for months now and finally starting to get back into the swing of things and developing programs, sharing this reminds me of where I can find valuable information!

    Hi Danni,
    This is great information - thanks so much for sharing! I think that the Graphics cheat sheet for Flex events is EXTREMELY useful!!! I highly recommend that everyone bookmark it!!!

    I highly recommend the data tags article: https://support.cvent.com/apex/CommunityArticle?id=000002648&Lang=en_US&searchTerm=flex

    and custom contact fields: https://support.cvent.com/apex/CommunityArticle?id=000002703

    Ooooh! I had not yet seen the Graphics cheat sheet.  I'm bookmarking now.  I have been immersed in the Registration Paths  articles.  Very helpful as I navigate setting up my first conference.

    Hello, 

    This is a great list to begin with! Here are some of my most used articles: 
    - Classic vs Flex features (with timeline of when Flex will get still-missing features)
    - Using Custom Contact Fields
    - Using the Quick Setup Theme Wizard in Flex (with how to get the theme to use the colors in your logo or banner image!)

    Hope this is useful!

    On deck for me is to read ALL 25 Virtual Attendee Hub articles! I might just PRINT them since my internet connection will be spotty!

    I would love to see an article that covers best practices for DMOs using Cvent and unique ways, beyond promotions that DMOs are using Cvent.

    Hi Amy,

    Thanks so much for your suggestion! Stay tuned for some upcoming Tip of the Week posts focusing on our suppliers/venues, as well as insightful Huddle of the Week discussion questions where best practices such as these can be shared. Tip of the Week posts include #CventTip and Huddle of the Week posts will include #HuddleoftheWeek if you are searching in the Open Forum. 

    If you have any additional feedback for articles or content, feel free to share with your Cvent Account Team so they can put in a formal request.

    Best,

    Danni

    Hi @Danielle Czark,

    Amazing list! 

    How about the Data Tag​ Cheat Sheet? https://support.cvent.com/apex/CommunityArticle?id=000025265&Lang=en_US&searchTerm=unsubscribe 
    This is one of my many go to cheat sheets.  I can't wait for this to be updated with the new virtual data tags.
