There is an explanation of the Vuture Connector here: https://support.vutu.re/hc/en-us/articles/360020561517-Importing-ContactEase-lists-into-the-Vuture-Connector 

Before setting up your Events App

• You must integrate with the Vuture CRM Connector.  Your Account Manager or Project Manager will enable this in "Admin.System.ContactEase.ContactEaseConnector"
• Import your events list into Vuture through the Connector - See article here.
• Ensure you have created the following categories and sub-categories in ContactEase:
  • RSVP: Accept/Yes & Decline/No
  • Attended:  Attended, Walk in, No Show & Cancelled (optional)
• Create the RSVP form and share it with your guests

Create an event campaign 

Create an email campaign using your email template.  This will ensure that you have all the correct page types available.  If you require Event Badges,  please request badge templates from your Account Manager, following the format of the badge template in the campaign.  

If you are unsure about your templates, please contact your Account Manager.  

Deploy the Events App

Each Event App has its own settings and unique URL which is used for access.  To access it, from within the email campaign, go to the Events section in the Campaign Summary and complete the following fields

• List Source: Select your List source (e.g. ContactEase)
• Events configuration password: Enter a password to access the Events App or click random to generate a random password  (the password is added protection for your data in case you leave an ipad lying on a table at an event, for example)
• The URL is used to access the Events App.

Then click “Deploy”

Please note, your Events logo and iOS icon should be set up previously by your Account or Project managers in Admin.System.Events

To set up a new event

• Go to the Events App URL
• Ensure you are logged in (bottom of the screen)
• Click on the Create New Event Button

Set up the event information

• Fill the Event Title and Description which will appear at the top of the page
• Check the “Started” box if your event has already started (typically you will be doing this before the event has started)
• Select the badge type, if you are using badges

Please note if you ever need to get back to the event setup screen to change your settings, click on the configure event button at the bottom right of the event:

We recommend that Enable Offline Mode should always be checked.  This will allow the system to collect data, even if your internet connection drops, and feed it back once the connection comes back up.

Guest List Configuration

• Select your Guest list.  This will usually be the Category which contains RSVP Yes and RSVP No as Subcategories
• Enter the Yes or Accepted value in your list for the RSVP field.  
• Enter your Attendee field name.  
• Populate the Attended/Walk-In/Did-Not-Show values.

Click “save” and you have configured your ContactEase event

You will be able to see your guest list ( those who have RSVPd Yes) and update their attendance status as they arrive.  This will update their status within the ContactEase categories in real time.
