Communications and Posters

As its name well indicates an oral communication it is a job that will be defended in an “oral” way. It will be exposed therefore in the congress in some session reserved especially for this type of communications, which usually have an approximate duration of about 10 minutes, and usually have the support of a PowerPoint presentation to present.

To start loading the documentation of our communications and posters, we will go to the corresponding section.

Add new: This button will allow us to create a new communication manually.

Import: This action helps us to import all the communications at once, without having to create them one by one in the content manager. You will have to make a parameterization in an excel document (which will be the one you import) and you will have all the communications created, a little later we will explain how this step is.

* Here you will also find the template that we will have to fill out to upload the communications.

And under Communications and Posters, we see:

Communications: If we click on this button we will see the communications we have uploaded and we can also edit them.

Categories: If we click on this button we will see that we have the option to create some categories that we will later associate manually through the content manager and also by the category ID, we will also explain this to you a little later so that you know how to do it.

Create the first: This button will allow us to create the first communication manually, but be careful, as soon as we create the first communication we will see how this button disappears and if we want to create another manual, we will have to go to the "Add New" button that we have above.

Now, let's see how to import them.

To start, the most important thing of all, will be to identify how we want communications to appear and what data we want to have in them.

* Here we have an example of a template with communications to get an idea:

When we go to load them, we can separate them by categories or all in the same place.

** Do not want to make categories in communications? Go directly to step 4.

To separate them by categories the first thing we have to do is create the categories:

As we see, we have the categories created:

When we create a Category, for example, Category 1, if we recreate the second Category, we will be able to create it as a "Child", a Subcategory for Category 1. If we enter the APP we will see Category 1 with its assigned Communications and then the child you have created and within, the Communications associated with that Category.

After creating the categories, this is how they would look and we will have to export them:

And we will have the following Document:

In this document, we see the ID's that we have to use to say which category corresponds to each communication.
Now, we have to download the corresponding template since these ID's are the ones that we will have to use in the template and be able to correctly assign the categories from the import:

Now. open the template and see the following:

As we see, there is an example row, we will have to delete it and leave the template header untouched, row 1, 2, we delete it.
We go to the Excel that your platform exports with all the communications data and we will do the following:
We will have to search in said Excel the data that interests us. We can add a Title, a Subtitle, a Description and a DOC (pdf) for each communication that we are going to create. Normally, your poster with the authors, hospitals, and works carried out is attached to each communication, although you could attach other communication data
Once the fields that we want to use are identified, we hide the rest so that they do not "bother" us and we return to the template that we have downloaded from the Content Manager of the APP to import all the communications at once.
Next, we see that what we have to do is copy and paste the data from one excel to another, in the template that you are going to use to upload them in the APP you only have to paste the data where they correspond (Description, Title, ... )

As we see in this example, we have filled in each data where we want it to appear, but if we look, we have only associated row 1 with its corresponding document.
As you can see, to upload the document to each communication you are going to create you have to put a URL. To get it, you have to upload the document to a server, for example Wordpress and use the URL that the server gives you to open the document in a web browser, but keep in mind that the Dropbox URL would not be worth it because it does not download the document, inserts it into a box inside the Dropbox itself.
If we look, in Column D we have put the ID's of the categories that we have downloaded in the previous steps, in this way each communication is assigned to its corresponding category.
Once we have all the complete excel, we go to the Content Manager and import the Communications:

* As soon as we see the green text of the screenshot above we will have the imported Communications.
* Do you see the Orange button (Publish Contents)? Until we click on this button these changes will not be seen in the APP.
And then we see how the Communications are on the mobile device:
After entering the corresponding Communications icon, the first thing we see are the Categories:

We enter the first category, and we see the Communications associated with this Category and we also see the subcategory called son 1:

Now we see a communication, looking for it by its communication number and we see that it has an associated Document. This is the communication to which we have assigned the server URL, the following you see below, you do not have Doc assigned:

And if we enter the document, this is what we see:
