n order for an email to be saved after being added or edited, please remember to first click Preview, and then click Save. If you do not follow this sequence, your email and/or changes will not be saved.

1. Copying text from other sources:

• Do Not copy and paste text directly into an email that has been edited using Microsoft Word.
  • If your text must be copied from Microsoft Word, Pages, etc., select the Paste as plain text option from the top of the WYSIWYG (the icon of the clipboard and a “T”), and paste your text into the provided box.
  • Once you have added your text, make your adjustments within the email editor.
  • Copying from Notepad on a PC, or TextEdit on a Mac is recommended.

2. Adding Dashboard Wrap to an Email before entering text:

• Enter the Email Name, To Group, and Subject.
• Click Insert Dashboard Wrap Into Body
• Enter desired text into the grey box.
• To remove Dashboard Links from an email after inserting the Dashboard Wrap, follow these steps:
  • Right Click in the Dashboard Links table.
  • Click Column > Delete Column

3. Inserting an image into an email:

• Upload the image into the GoExpo site under Tools > Upload a File
  • NOTE: the image must be within the required dimensions of the email body
    • Must be <500px wide if Dashboard Links included
    • Must be <620px wide if no Dashboard Links included
• Copy the direct URL of the image

  • Enter the relevant contact Email address, and a Subject and Body if desired.
  • Click OK.

4. Inserting an Automatic Login URL and Link:

• Please note the difference between Auto Login URL and Auto Login Link:
  • An Auto Login URL is used when hyperlinking pre-entered text, and used in the same way as creating a hyperlink to another site using whatever desired text.
  • An Auto Login Link is an email parameter entered directly into the text, that will be viewed as “Click Here to Login” when viewed by the email recipient.

4a. To create an Auto Login URL:

• Select the text within the email that you would like to automatically log the recipient into their planner when clicked.
• Click Insert/Edit Link (image of the chain link)
• Leave link type as URL. In the URL field, enter: ##Auto Login URL##
  • Note: Be sure that the text is entered exactly as is. The entry field is case-sensitive and will not work unless entered exactly as it appears here: ##Auto Login URL##
• Click OK

4b. To create an Auto Login Link:

• Select the area of the email that you would like it to appear as “Click Here to Login”
• Enter ##Auto Login Link## directly into the body of the email. This parameter is also case-sensitive, so be sure to enter it directly as is or it will not work.

5. Custom Auto Login Links:

You can use the following method to create a custom auto login link that will take the user to any page in GoExpo.

• Login to GoExpo as the target type of user
• Browse to the target page
• Make a note of the URL. For example:
  • Exhibitor’s link to Edit Press Releases: http://n1a.goexposoftware.com/events/test1/goExpo/exhibitor/upgradeWizardPressReleases.php
  • Attendee’s link to Matcher: http://n1a.goexposoftware.com/events/test1/goExpo/attendee/listMatchingExhibitors.php
• Note the portion of the URL after goExpo/. Let’s call this portion the GoToURL
• Edit the email in source mode and specify something similar to the following HTML:
  • <a href=”##Auto Login URL##&goTo=GoToURL”>My Link Text</a>
• For the Exhibitor’s Link to Edit Press Releases example above we would specify:
  • <a href=”##Auto Login URL##&goTo=exhibitor/upgradeWizardPressReleases.php”>Edit Press Releases</a>
• To link to a specific field on a page:
  • Each field has an anchor and you can look for the <a name="???"> anchor by viewing the source in the page.
  • Append the anchor name to the URL. For example:
    • For company description: http://n1b.goexposoftware.com/events/pdemo1/goExpo/exhibitor/upgradeWizardProfile.php#description
