The Navigation Bar And Features: Get The Most Out Of Your Virtual Experience
If you are using a mobile device this navigation bar will be accessible from a drop down at the top left of your screen.
Upon activating your account you will be prompted to answer a couple of questions to help us make relevant contact recommendations for you. The 'RECOMMENDED FOR YOU' tab is where you will find these recommended contacts.
Click 'show interest' on the attendee profiles of the people that you would like to connect with. This will send notifications to those people to make them aware of your interest to connect and will be added to your 'MY 'INTERESTED' LIST'. If the person you have shown interest in chooses to show interest in you too, you will form a connection, which will appear in your 'MY CONNECTIONS' tab. With mutual 'interest' established, you will be able to start chatting via an instant web messenger.
Click 'request a meeting' to schedule a meeting with your fellow attendees. For more information on how to schedule a meeting, click on the 'contents' menu above and navigate to the 'Common 'How To' Questions Addressed' section.
This tab allows you to see all of the people who have indicated their interest in connecting (i.e. clicked 'show interest' on your profile).
You will be presented with three options for you to select on peoples' profiles. 'Show interest', 'Request a meeting' or 'Skip'. Click 'show interest' if you would like to form a connection as explained above, and you will be able to start instant messaging right away. This contact will then appear in your 'MY CONNECTIONS' tab. If you click 'skip' this information will be fed back to the virtual platform which will learn accordingly, helping it to make more informed decisions on the connections it recommends for you, creating a better matchmaking experience. And if you click 'Request a meeting' you will be able to go ahead and schedule a meeting with that person at a time that suits you both.
Please refer to the 'RECOMMENDED FOR YOU' and 'INTERESTED IN YOU' information above explaining how to establish connections.
The 'MY CONNECTIONS' list will include the attendees who you have established mutual 'interest' with through clicking 'show interest' on each others' profiles. These are all of the people you are able to chat with via the instant messenger function.
Here you will find all of the people whose profile you have clicked 'show interest' on, but have not yet formed a connection with.
Your 'skip' list shows you all of the people you have indicated you are not interested in connecting with.
