Interface Basics¶

Preseria's web application lets you create Conferences, invite presenters and upload presentation files. Below we cover the basic layout and common user interfaces.

Register¶

Presenters getting invited to use Preseria for the first time will have to choose a password before continuing to upload their presentation files. Unless the organizer have added names for the presenters, they will also have to input their first an last name. Similarly, organization users will have to be invited by an organization admin and fill in the same form before they can create their own events.

Login¶

The login page for your event is in one of two forms:

1. https://eventshortname.preseria.com
2. https://customername.preseria.com

Where eventshortname typically is the shortname of the conference and customername is the name of the organization hosting the event.

Both presenters and organizers log in using their email and password OR they request a single-use short lived login link sent to their inbox.

If you don't remember your password, you can request a new password by clicking on Forgot Password and entering your email address.

Dashboard¶

Once logged in you will be automatically sent to the overview (dashboard), listing your upcoming and recent events (if you are an organizer) and scheduled presentation slots (if you are a presenter).

The Presenter's Dashboard¶

Presenters have a very limited set of actions they can perform once logged in. A presenter is allowed to:

• Upload files for their presentations (for the various conference sessions they are presenting in).
• Modify the title of their presentation.
• Add, remove and change the order of presentation files in their presentations.
• Modify account details, such as first name, last name and change their password.

The Organizer's Dashboard¶

Organization User¶

Organizers can do everything a presenter can do, and additionally:

• Create and modify Conferences, Sessions and Day Conferences.
• Create Placeholders ("ordered file collections") that can be re-used across Conferences and Sessions.

• Set a default email header image for all emails sent to presenters.
• Add & Remove organizers to the organization (that in turn can create their own Conferences).
• Access and modify all the events created by organizers belonging to the same organization as the admin.
