Overview
- Faculty
- An individual that is working at an event in an official capacity.
Faculty are divided into THREE (3) categories:
Faculty can be related directly to the parent event or to a session within the event. Each faculty member can be classified by their organization, the particular sessions they worked, their responsibilities Staff Type or area of expertise, and their address and contact information.
Adding Records
Unlike the Add forms for the Event Fee pages, each of the Faculty Type Add forms are distinctively unique. Each includes fields and text boxes that are specific to the function each category is tasked to perform. The Add - Speaker form also includes professional and biographical information.
Adding Event Staff
Adding an Event Speaker
The Speaker Group Item contains all of the information regarding Event Speakers. Speakers can be added from both the Event Profile or using the basic Add functionality from the Speaker group item.
Adding Event Volunteers
Finding Records
There are multiple ways to locate a record using the Find page (for detailed methods on how to locate records, see the Find page). The Find functionality is universal throughout netFORUM. The results of your search will display in a List page, which is also universal throughout netFORUM.
The Faculty information is stored in the database by the "columns" (fields) you selected during the Add process for each Type of faculty (Staff, Speaker, Volunteer). Only a pre-defined set of columns pertaining to Event Faculty will be available to you on the Find pages.
Managing Records
There is a Profile Page for each of the three Faculty Categories. However, it is recommended that all of the Faculty Assignments within these profiles be managed from the Event Profile. See the specific Category pages for a detailed explanation of the available features related to faculty:
- Events Faculty (Staff) Profile
- Events Speaker Profile
- Events Faculty (Volunteer) Profile
Faculty assignments can be viewed from the Events Profile and Session Profile pages. An individuals Assignments can also be viewed from their own Individual Profile page.
