Our new At-The-Venue (ATV) feature uses automation tools to make this easier than ever before. With At-The-Venue, you can automatically generate an ATV experience for every event in your calendar AND identify specific content to be included in every ATV experience.
ATV's automation tools help you to consistently enhance the audience experience for every event, amplify the relevancy of your app for patrons, and save staff time by reducing app management tasks
Sync ATV with Your Events
Prior to the release of At-The-Venue, app administrators needed to manually create experiences for events on their calendar. Now, you can synchronize the creation of ATV experiences with Events in your app. And all it takes is the click of a button!

- Event Image
- Your Event Image will also appear as the image on your ATV Info Screen for the event.
- If you use the Icons, Slideshow, or What's New home screen options, the system will use your Event Image as the default Landing Screen image for your At-The-Venue Experience.
- If a particular image does not work for the Landing Screen, you can override it by uploading a new one.
- If you use the Cards home screen option, the system will use your Event Image in the card for your ATV Experience.
- Check-in prompt for social media: Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare

Add Default Content to ATV Experiences
Whether you synchronize ATV with your Events or manually add new ATV experiences, you can now designate certain content to be automatically included in your upcoming experiences by default. While you can always add custom content to your ATV experiences, there may be certain items that you wish to feature every time. Adding default content prevents you from repeatedly adding the same content for each experience.
To begin adding default content for your ATV experiences:
The remaining sections on the page enable you to add default Things to Know, Offers, and Custom Actions to your ATV experiences.
To begin adding default content for your ATV experiences:
- Go to Mobile >>At-The-Venue.
- In the Checklist on the right, select Default Content.
In the first section on this page, you can designate a default hashtag, sponsor name, sponsor URL, and time zone.

- Hashtag
- If you use a common hashtag for all (or the majority) of your events, then adding it to the default content area makes perfect sense.
- For any events using a custom hashtag, you can add it to that particular experience and override the default hashtag.
- Sponsor Name & URL
- Adding a default sponsor name and URL to your ATV experiences is a great way to provide consistent visibility for your mobile app sponsor or another major sponsor for your season.
- Time Zone
- If all of your events take place in the same time zone, then adding it as default content for your experiences will eliminate a repetitive task.
The remaining sections on the page enable you to add default Things to Know, Offers, and Custom Actions to your ATV experiences.

Things to Know
If you knew that a new patron was attending your event, what would you tell them to guide them toward a positive experience? Things to Know is a list of short, interesting or useful facts designed to improve the audience's experience.- Each Thing to Know is a combination of image and text.
 |

- You can always add customized Things to Know for each experience.
- Your default Things to Know should be applicable to all of your ATV experiences.
