Conference Order

 Conferences are usually alphabetized by name in the Conferences List frame on the left of your screen. However, you may want to change that order. Perhaps you have a very important conference that should come first in the list, but it can’t start with A. Or, if the conference name has WebBoard or HTML tags, WebBoard considers those angle brackets and tag values when it alphabetizes the list. To give you maximum flexibility in the Conferences List, WebBoard lets you order the list any way you want it.

Conference order is determined by a numerical weighting system plus alphabetization— the higher the number, the lower it will appear in the list. For example, a conference with weight 1 appears in the list above a conference with weight 5. You can specify a number for any or all of the conferences on a board. The numbers you specify override conference alphabetization. If two or more conferences have the same number, those conferences are displayed first by number, then alphabetically. Any number between 0 and 255 is valid.

Only Administrators and Managers can change conference order.

Tip
You should leave some room between numbers assigned to conferences. Then, when you add conferences, you can easily insert them in the conference order list between existing conferences. For example, you may want to initially weight conferences in multiples of 10: 10, 20, 30, and so on.

To change the order in which your conferences are listed, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the management menu.
  2. Click Conference Order. The Conference Order page appears.
  3. Type a number between 0 and 255 in the appropriate Weight field(s) to reorganize your conference list the way you want it.
  4. When finished, click Save to apply your changes. The Conference Order page notifies you that your changes have been saved, and the conference list changes to show the effect of your settings.
  5. If you need to fine tune your settings, repeat Steps 3 and 4 until the order is correct.
