On this page you add and edit Job Functions for use in Speaker and Session Management (which must be enabled for the account).
These are for speakers and event planners to use as the "target" job functions for sessions.
For example, a session may be aimed at people who have Marketing or Finance roles.
In an event, event planners select the job functions to be available in that event.
Event planners can then associate those job functions with sessions.
Add Job Function
- Add – To add a job function to the account, enter a new Job function Name in the Name text box, and click Add.
Must be unique in the account.
Examples: "CMO" or "Chief Marketing Officer".
- Import Job functions – Import job functions from a CSV file that you have prepared in advance.
Import Job functions notes
- Format: The import file must be a .CSV file.
- Fields: It must include the one (required) field: Job Function Name.
- Header Row: The first row must be column names.
You will use these when mapping the fields.
- Template: You can right-click this file to save an empty template CSV file, job_functions_import_template.csv.
Steps to follow to import job functions
Once you have a .CSV file ready:
1. Click Import Job Functions. 2. Click Browse and select the .CSV file to upload from your computer. 3. Click Upload to upload it to the account. 4. In the Import Job functions pop-up window, map the Name field to the relevant column in your import file. 5. Click Import to start the import process. 6. You receive an email advising that the import is complete, and if any rows failed to import.
Note: If you import a job function with the same name as an existing record, it will overwrite that record. That has no net effect. It does not generate an error. It does not create a duplicate record.
