Digital signatures
What are digital signatures?

Target groups
What is a target group?
A target group provides information on the group of people to whom an event is thematically directed. This could be students, lecturers or employees, for example. You can filter by target group on the Campus Events homepage.
The respective target groups can be seen in the list view and also in the detailed view of an event.
Grading categories
What are grading categories?
If a participant receives the status "Passed" for an event, grades can be assigned to them. The assignable grades can be selected from individually definable grading categories. To do this, a grading category with selectable grades must be created and assigned to the course in the course form under "Learning content (certificate)". The optional assignment of grades then takes place when the "Passed" status of the participants is maintained in the participant administration of an event.
Where can I manage the grading categories?
The administration area is located under Campus Events(Backend) > Events > Master data > Grading categories.
How can I create a new grading category?
Steps:
- The starting point is the administration area of the grading categories ... > Master data > Grading categories
- Click on the New button at the top right to open the grading category editor form.
- Use the form to set up the new grading category.
- Once the settings have been defined, click on Add to save the grading category.

Video on Youtube
If events are subject to charges and special conditions apply, price categories can be used to charge different fees depending on the existing conditions. For example, if employees and students have to pay different fees.
How can price categories be used?
Price categories can only be used in combination with the event type Order with shopping basket.
How can attendee details be restricted by price categories?

Additional visibility for other clients
Authorisation "Visibility for additional clients" The authorisation allows you to maintain the field "Additionally visible for clients" and to define the visibility accordingly. This authorisation is only useful in conjunction with corresponding authorisations, e.g. Master data > Price categories editor.
Organiser
What is an organiser?
Video on Youtube
An organiser provides information, e.g. which faculty or department is offering an event. On the Campus Events homepage, you can filter events by organiser using the detailed search. When viewing a specific event, the specified organisers are listed.
Filter categories
How can the playout of events on other systems be controlled?
First of all: "Other systems", "receiving systems" or "external systems" are systems that are not campus events. For example, these can be
- own websites (main page, satellite page, microsites, landing pages)
- External websites (website of the city / municipality, the association, the superordinate unit)
- Monitors / displays in the building (information system for visitors, customers and employees)
- Smartphone apps (own apps and apps from third-party providers)
- Third-party software
Filter categories can be used to assign a feature to events. This feature is a word, similar to tagging in social media. Any number of words and thus filter categories can be set for each event. The filter categories are always hidden and are not displayed to site visitors.
However, the filter categories for each event are delivered via the interface. The receiving system connected via the interfaces can use these words for filtering. Specifically, for example, an event can be assigned to the start page of the system with the filter category "Start page" and another event can be assigned to area 1 with the filter category "Area 1".

Contact persons
How are contact persons managed?
It is possible to store contact persons at an event. These are used to store contact information so that participants have a contact person for queries.
In Campus Events in the Master data > Contact persons area, individual data records can be created for this purpose, with each data record corresponding to a contact person.
The following data can be maintained in the form itself, whereby data marked with * is mandatory:
- Title
- First name*
- Surname*
- Position
- Department
- Institution
- Telephone number
- E-mail address*
The "Visible" field defines whether the contact person can be selected at an event. If the box is ticked, the contact person's data record can be selected and assigned to an event. The stored data is then displayed at the event on the website.
Click "Save" or "Save & close" to save the changes and close the editing interface if necessary. The "Delete" button irrevocably deletes the data record.
