New Overview Screens

New Overview Screens

We have modernized the dashboards across three core modules: Attendee, Speaker (Abstracts), and Contacts, built on a flexible, widget-driven foundation.

Foundation

  • Widget-driven – each dashboard is composed of individual, self-contained widgets rather than fixed screens.
  • User preference driven – users can pin, rearrange, and resize widgets. Preferences are remembered when modules are reopened. User preference example
  • My X-CD (global view) – a personalized space where pinned widgets from any module or event are accessible in one place, reducing navigation. My X-CD example
  • Saved Reports as widgets – saved reports can be added directly to dashboards as mini cards or full tables, making recurring insights instantly accessible. Saved reports widget example

New Analytics for Attendee & Speaker

  • Cross-conference comparison / pacing – compare the current conference against prior years or other events over time. Supports submissions (Speaker) and registration count/revenue (Attendee).
  • Cross-section by registration type – available across multiple Attendee widgets. Registrations Over Time includes a Count/Revenue toggle (defaults to Revenue, Complete status). Financial Breakdown shows revenue by registration type.
  • By Country breakdown – the Registration By Country widget shows count and revenue per country. Includes a Compare button with search and conference-type filters, plus a paginated “Show All” drill-down.
  • Submission Data Volume by Field – breaks contact-linked submission data down by field to show where data density is highest. Submission data volume chart 1 Submission data volume chart 2

Contacts Dashboard

  • Monthly Active Users – tracks contact activity over time. When membership is enabled, splits into member vs. non-member.
  • Contacts Created Over Time – shows database growth and marketing/lead-capture effectiveness.
  • Top Contacts by Country – highlights geographic concentration.
  • Top Contacts by Organization – surfaces which companies/institutions are most represented. Top contacts chart

Why it matters

Users get dashboards that reflect how they actually work, not a one-size-fits-all layout. Pacing and cross-conference comparison shift Attendee and Speaker dashboards from “what’s happening right now” to “how are we tracking.” The new Contacts dashboard fills a long-standing gap by providing visibility into the broader contact base.
