Event Switching

Conducky supports participation in multiple events with different roles. This page explains how to navigate between events and manage your multi-event experience.

Event Switcher in Sidebar​

The "My Events" section in the sidebar provides:

  • Event List: All events you belong to with role indicators
  • Quick Switching: Click any event to switch context
  • Role Visibility: Shows your role in each event (Admin, Responder, Reporter)
  • Context Preservation: Maintains your current page type when switching

Context Switching Behavior​

When you switch between events, Conducky preserves your workflow:

Page Type Preservation​

  • Dashboard to Dashboard: Switching from one event dashboard to another
  • Reports to Reports: Switching from one event's reports to another's
  • Settings to Settings: Event admins switching between event settings
  • Fallback: If the page type doesn't exist for your role, defaults to event dashboard
  • Sidebar navigation updates to reflect your role in the new event
  • Breadcrumbs update to show the new event context
  • Action buttons change based on your permissions in the new event
  • Menu items appear or disappear based on your new role

Managing Multiple Event Types​

Conference Organizer Workflow​

If you organize multiple conferences:

  1. Use the global dashboard to see all your events at once
  2. Monitor cross-event activity for patterns and insights
  3. Switch between events to handle event-specific tasks
  4. Maintain consistent processes across all your events

Response Team Member Workflow​

If you're a responder for multiple events:

  1. Check the global dashboard for incidents across all events
  2. Use cross-event reporting to see your full workload
  3. Switch to specific events for detailed incident management
  4. Coordinate with different teams using event-specific contexts

Multi-Event Participant Workflow​

If you participate in multiple events as a reporter:

  1. View all your reports from the global dashboard
  2. Submit reports to the appropriate events
  3. Track report status across multiple events
  4. Manage your profile consistently across all events

Event Access Management​

Joining New Events​

You can join additional events through:

  1. Invitation links sent by event administrators
  2. Invite codes entered through your profile page
  3. Direct addition by event administrators

Leaving Events​

To leave an event:

  1. Go to your profile page (accessible from user menu)
  2. Find the "My Events" section
  3. Click "Leave Event" next to the event you want to leave
  4. Confirm your decision - this will remove all access to event data
Leaving Events

When you leave an event, you lose access to all event data, including incident reports you submitted. Event administrators can re-invite you if needed.

Event Status Changes​

Events can have different statuses that affect your access:

  • Active: Full access based on your role
  • Disabled: No access until re-enabled by system administrators
  • Archived: Read-only access to historical data

Cross-Event Features​

Global Reporting​

Access reports across all your events:

  • Combined incident view showing reports from all events
  • Cross-event search to find specific incidents
  • Unified notifications for activity across all events
  • Aggregate statistics showing your overall activity

Profile Management​

Manage your information consistently:

  • Single profile used across all events
  • Consistent notification preferences unless overridden per event
  • Unified contact information for all event communications
  • Global settings that apply to all your event participation

Performance Considerations​

Optimized Loading​

Conducky optimizes multi-event performance:

  • Lazy loading of event data until needed
  • Efficient caching of frequently accessed events
  • Parallel data fetching when loading multiple events
  • Smart prefetching of likely-to-be-accessed events

Network Efficiency​

  • Minimal API calls when switching between events
  • Cached navigation data to prevent redundant requests
  • Optimized payload sizes for faster loading
  • Progressive enhancement for slower connections

Troubleshooting Event Switching​

Common Issues​

Event switcher is empty:

  • Verify you belong to at least one event
  • Check that events are active and not disabled
  • Refresh the page to reload event data

Navigation doesn't update after switching:

  • Clear browser cache and refresh
  • Check for JavaScript errors in browser console
  • Verify your role permissions in the new event

Missing events in switcher:

  • Confirm event administrators haven't removed your access
  • Check if events have been disabled by system administrators
  • Verify your invitation was properly accepted

Performance issues when switching:

  • Check network connectivity
  • Clear browser cache
  • Disable browser extensions that might interfere
  • Contact administrators if issues persist

Getting Help​

For event switching issues:

  1. Check your event memberships in your profile page
  2. Verify event status with event administrators
  3. Test with a different browser to rule out browser issues
  4. Contact system administrators for technical problems
  5. Review the troubleshooting guide for additional solutions
