    • Accessibility Settings:
      • Decide if the file should be public and accessible to all registrants.
      • Restrict access to specific categories or options. Restricted files published on the website, will only appear on the confirmation page once a registrant has made a corresponding selection.

Publishing Options

On the Website

When enabled, files will appear in the Related Files section on the event homepage, making them easily accessible for attendees to download.

For multilingual websites, you can assign specific files to particular languages. For example, please display English files on the English version of your website and Spanish files on the Spanish version, ensuring language-specific relevance.

In Automatic Emails

Files are included in a dedicated Files section at the end of automatic emails, provided as links rather than attachments. This approach keeps emails lightweight, minimizes the risk of being flagged as spam, ensures recipients can easily access the most up-to-date version, and avoids compatibility or size issues.

Targeted Accessibility

Files can be configured to reach specific audiences, ensuring the most relevant information is delivered to the right attendees. Use categories and options selected during registration to control access to files and enhance personalization.

For example:

  • Share member-only schedules, VIP-exclusive content, or speaker materials with specific groups.
  • Provide customized documentation, such as morning or afternoon session guides, based on the registrant’s selected event sessions.

Depending on your publishing settings, restricted files will appear:

  • On the confirmation page after registration, if the attendee’s choices match the filter.
  • If the Automatic emails are sent to relevant recipients.

This flexible system ensures attendees receive precisely what they need, improving communication, increasing engagement, and maintaining a secure and efficient flow of content.

Working with Files

Once you’ve uploaded your files to idloom, you can seamlessly use them across any pages or emails via the WYSIWYG editor.

Inserting Files in Your Content

  1. Place your cursor in the desired location within the editor.
  2. Click the “Insert a Document” button.
  3. Select the document you want to insert. The document’s display name will be added to your content as a clickable link, directing attendees to the file.

Copying File URLs

  • Navigate to the File List in the Files section.
  • Locate the More Details column and copy the file URL.
  • You can use this URL anywhere, such as on external platforms or additional custom content.

Important Notes

  • Unrestricted File Usage: Files inserted via the editor or shared using their URL do not enforce audience restrictions. Be mindful of where and how restricted files are used.
  • Restriction Indicator: To help you identify restricted files, a small lock icon appears next to their name in the Insert a Document menu. This serves as a reminder that access limitations have been set for the file, even though the editor itself does not enforce these restrictions.
