Adding a Speaker to a Product & Granting Speaker Access

Admins have the ability to add a speaker to any Product on their Elevate site. Adding a speaker accomplishes a few things. First, the speaker will display for end-users within the Speaker tab for the Product. Here end-users can view the speaker's headshot, bio, title and company information, as well as any disclosures they may have.

Once a speaker has been added to a Product, you may grant the speaker Speaker Access. Granting speaker access to a speaker allows them to access a live event during the early login time set within the Live Web Content Component and enter the event as a speaker/presenter with applicable permissions within the live broadcast.

NOTE

You must first have a web content, video or audio Component created before you can add a Speaker.

Adding a Speaker

Navigate to the Product you would like to add the speaker to. From within the Product editor, click the Speakers option from the left-hand navigation.

Click on Add Speaker. This will open a modal to add the speaker. Begin by clicking the Speaker dropdown menu. Doing so will allow you to search for existing speakers, as well as add new speakers. If the speaker does not already exist, click the Add New Speaker option from the dropdown menu.

Input the Name, Title, Email Address, and Company for the speaker. If you are going to be granting speaker access to your speaker, you must enter the email address they use to access your site in the email field.
Enter an optional speaker biography and/or disclosure in the Bio and Disclosures WYSIWYG editors.
Upload an image of the speaker in the Speaker Image field.
Select the Components the speaker should be associated with from the Associated Components dropdown menu. When the dropdown menu is selected, any applicable Components the speaker can be associated with will appear.

Role & Access

If the speaker will be a moderator, select the checkbox labeled Speaker is Moderator. In doing so, the word Moderator will appear for end-users on the speakers tab.

If the speaker will be logging in and access the live event from your Elevate site, click the Speaker Access checkbox. Then, select the Link a User dropdown menu to link the speaker profile you are creating to their user account on your Elevate site. Search for the user by email or name. Depending on the option you select, Elevate will search for a user who's account contains that email address or name.

Depending on the option you select, Elevate will search for a user who's account contains that email address or name.

Select the user account you would like to link this speaker profile to and click the Save button. If linked correctly, the user name and email address will now appear in the speaker profile in the Linked User area.

Once all applicable information has been completed, click the Save button to save the speaker.

NOTE

The Speaker must have an Elevate account in order for them to be granted Speaker Access. If no Elevate account exists for them on your site, the easiest way to create one is to to have them login to your site. Once they have logged in, an account will be created for them within Elevate for you to grant access to.
