The Organizer App demonstrates our commitment to event organizers, putting EventsAir onto any mobile device so you can manage the event onsite with the features you need most during the event.

Setting up and publishing your Organizer App is very similar to the Attendee App - you use the drag-and-drop builder, set your details, add user permissions, and you're finished!

You can even create multiple Organizer Apps for the same event if you need to.

Creating your Organizer App 

In the Online Panel, under NEW MOBILE APP, choose "Organizer App" from the "Type" dropdown.

• Application Name - give your Organizer App a name (can be edited later).  
• Event App Code - add a phrase or code to be used by your team members when first opening the app from their iOS or Android device (initially set when you create a new app, but can be edited at a later point). Do NOT include spaces in the app code.
• Clone from - check this box if you want to copy an Organizer App as the basis for this one.
  
  Then select the "Create" button.

If you need to replace or upload an image, select Add/Replace Photo, and import a new photo, including one you've just taken.

When selected, can also crop the image appropriately.

URLs and QR Codes

The organizer app will display installation URLs and QR codes for all three versions (which includes iOS and Android apps). These URLs and QR codes can be shared in communications or printed materials to provide a quick way to install the Organizer App. Please note the following recommendations:

• HTML5 allows the Organizer App to be installed on any platform via a web URL.
• For iOS and Android Apps, the URL will direct your team to the appropriate App Store on their device, and display the Organizer App from EventsAir for installation. (Alternatively, they can visit the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and search for "Centium Software Organizer App".)
