What is your best cvent hack?
For me it is feedback questions and the badge wizard. I'll save the badge wizard hack for another day. :)
We are a car club. Every registration gets a number beginning from 1 on their name badge.
Low numbers tend to be bragging rights and some people have reserved numbers they use year to year.
Attendees get a number decal for their car. We sometimes have attendance prizes and call out the registration number.
Easier to call a number than a name. We've been doing this for 50 years!
Before learning about feedback questions I had to export the attendee list.
Sort by date registered. Manually enter a registration number in a hidden question for every attendee.
Because the number decals are printed sequentially, if someone cancelled I would have to update everyone's numbers.
We had 1000 people for this event. I was doing this multiple times. I hated life.
The following year I learned about feedback questions.
I exported my attendee list, sorted by date. I added the registration number in excel and imported it back to the attendee registration using the confirmation number. Now whenever I had to update the number, it only takes a few minutes.
Life it is good. This has save me countless hours and eliminated me assigning the same number to multiple people.
I use feedback questions for all sorts of things.
I need to know if a person is a First Timer, Sponsor, Board Member, Staff.
Using the same method I can update each person.
I use those questions to create my badge ribbons that are printed on the name badge.
Another hack that has saved me countless hours.
