Industries (at account-level)

On this page you add and edit Industries 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" industries for sessions.

(In an event, event planners select the industries to be available in that event; see Plan > Speakers and Sessions > Setup > Industries. They can then associate those industries with sessions; see  Plan > Speakers and Sessions > Sessions.)

Add Industry

• Add – To add an industry to the account, enter a new Industry Name in the Name text box, and click Add. (Must be unique in the account.)

It is added to the Industry List below.

• Import Industries – Import industries from a CSV file that you have prepared in advance.
  Notes:

• • Format: The import file must be a .CSV file.

  • Fields: It must include the one (required) field: Industry Name.

  • Template: You can right-click this file to save an empty template CSV file: jndustries_import_template.csv.

  • Header Row: The first row must be column names. You will use these when mapping the fields.

Steps to follow to import industries

Once you have a .CSV file ready:

1. 1. Click Import Industries.

   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 Industries 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 an industry with the same name as an existing record, it will overwrite that record. That has no net effect; it does not generate an error, nor create a duplicate record.

Industry List

All Industries are listed, with these two columns:

• Industry Name – To change the name of an industry , click  in the Actions column.

• Actions – Two icons:

 – Edit. Change the Industry Name, and click  to save your changes. (You can click  to cancel unsaved changes.)

 – Delete. Deletes the industry. (You are prompted to confirm.)
Warning: If you delete an industry, any sessions associated with it have the association removed. You may confirm or cancel the deletion.
