Please add / update article with the new available website function allowing a hosting webinar chapter to pin the event to multiple other chapters in their District
Where do we find the chapter attendance reports for pinned workshops? I understand this data is not included in the BRIT reports but added to the district's data.
Debbie Fernandez They appear in the Engage event reports of the orginating chapter. If you have EM permissions in Engage, you can see & pull them directly from Engage. They also appear in the BIRT reports of the originating chapter
Some initiatives in the OneScorePilot regions [Central & MidAtlantic] are using extensive pinning region-wide and are working on improved reporting for districts & chapters.
The Wisconsin district chapters are putting on an event in September which is co produced by all chapters. The event graphics, text, registration link, etc., was added to one chapter’s website initially. If the other chapters pin the event to their website do they get equal credit for the registrants for the event?
Thanks for pinning, not cloning. I assume Maaske's Wisconsin District is marketing this as a District event through the Central Region marketing process.
I assume you are also recording the event for follow-on recorded view crediting. If not, you are leaving resource crediting money on the table.
Current systems limitations flow credit to the originating chapter. But Central Region takes into account attendees by zip code. This system limitation is expected to be fixed in Fiscal 2025.
It should in future operate identical to national events crediting flow by attendee zip code to the respective chapters.
This is in-person event only. I don’t believe it will be recorded although I may be wrong. Are you saying since this is a district event the pinned chapters will not get any credit for the people who register at the website nor by zip code? What needs to be changed to produce credits for each chapter?
Currently, attendance counts flow to the originating chapter's Dashboard via their Engage Event Record
DD Maaske can take this into account if any issue at year end.
Internal systems are expected to be enhanced in Fiscal 2025 to flow by attendee zipcode just like National events currently work.
Thanks Mark.
Why has the ability to pin events at the chapter level been moved to Ecropolis. As a chapter workshop chair, I regularly pin events based upon topic areas of need on our workshop calendar. I cannot do this research now that you've removed that capability from me.
