Hi Felix,
Great question! The Schedule Track cell on each row allows for multiple tracks, so one session can have many different schedule track designations. Just add each schedule track there, separated by a semicolon.> Gulnaar Kaur Sr. Customer Success Associate Guidebook, Inc. - Raleigh, NC> *2017 Stevie Winner for Sales & Customer Service*

Hi Gulnar,
I do have a question about how to import schedule data from a file. The template CSV shows a column for "Schedule Track" but it looks like it's just for one track. In the web interface I'm able to add a schedule item to multiple tracks. What's the format to use in a CSV file to link a row to multiple tracks? Thanks!>

Subject: Re: [Pycon-mobile-guide] [Guidebook] Update: Intro to Guide Building Team (PyCon) Date: Sun, 02 Apr 2017 18:29:59 -0400> Hi all,
Thanks for the intro and the templates! I've gotten started on a few parts of the guide this weekend. Here's what I've done so far:
- Update links, graphics, names, etc. to reflect PyCon 2017 instead of 2016.
- Set up sidebar menu sections and icons.> - Deleted old speakers, sponsors, etc.
- Got a good chunk of automation in place based on the templates Gulnaar provided. I've uploaded *all the **speakers and sponsors*, and can easily regenerate the entire list as it changes.> Here's what I'll be doing next:
- Getting the *schedule* import automated as well. Not expecting much difficulty, based on the previously completed work.
- Getting *links/connections* automated (e.g. speakers to their talks). This is new/different work but it shouldn't be hard.
- Importing *sponsor logos*. This is a little trickier because the exported data doesn't link the files to their sponsors, but I'm hopeful that some simple heuristics for matching by name should make this automatable as well, meaning the entire sponsor list can be deleted and rebuilt as needed without manual intervention.
- Getting "special pages" imported, such as the Code of Conduct. This is very little work, just have to check the code from last year still works.> *Ewa*, what I need from you:
- Are we in the same section of the venue as last year, and can we therefore use the same venue map? If not, we'll need a new one.
- Has the YouTube channel for video uploads been set up? We'll want to link to that instead of the 2016 version.
- What is the plan for Open Spaces? Blank data for them seems to be showing up in the export, suggesting it'll be possible to register and schedule them... but they're all empty for now.
- Similarly for Startup Row. Have the selected startups been announced? I don't know where to get the list from.
- All the GitHub issue links I sent you earlier are still valid for this year. However, like last year, they're not *critical*, just nice to have extras, like showing speaker photos.> And finally, some parts I'm unsure about and which might require
manual work:
- Special events, such as the charity run. These aren't currently showing up in the schedule, but there are few enough that they can be updated by hand. The only risk is that if we do that, we have to be very careful when updating the rest of the schedule automatically so as to not overwrite them!
- Plenary sessions. These should be treated as regular events in the schedule, but they're not in the data export.
- Likewise keynote speakers. Might just have to manually add them as speakers.
- Any other extra guide entries, like last year's car service discount coupon.> More info to come, likely next weekend!
Cheers,
Felix

This is new/different work but it shouldn't be hard.
- Importing *sponsor logos*. This is a little trickier because the
exported data doesn't link the files to their sponsors, but I'm hopeful that some simple heuristics for matching by name should make this automatable as well, meaning the entire sponsor list can be deleted and rebuilt as needed without manual intervention.
- Getting "special pages" imported, such as the Code of Conduct. This
is very little work, just have to check the code from last year still works.
*Ewa*, what I need from you:
- Are we in the same section of the venue as last year, and can we
therefore use the same venue map? If not, we'll need a new one.
- Has the YouTube channel for video uploads been set up? We'll want to
link to that instead of the 2016 version.
- What is the plan for Open Spaces? Blank data for them seems to be
showing up in the export, suggesting it'll be possible to register and schedule them... but they're all empty for now.
- Similarly for Startup Row. Have the selected startups been announced?
I don't know where to get the list from.
- All the GitHub issue links I sent you earlier are still valid for this
year. However, like last year, they're not *critical*, just nice to have extras, like showing speaker photos.
And finally, some parts I'm unsure about and which might require manual work:
- Special events, such as the charity run. These aren't currently
showing up in the schedule, but there are few enough that they can be updated by hand. The only risk is that if we do that, we have to be very careful when updating the rest of the schedule automatically so as to not overwrite them!
- Plenary sessions. These should be treated as regular events in the
schedule, but they're not in the data export.
- Likewise keynote speakers. Might just have to manually add them
as speakers.
- Any other extra guide entries, like last year's car service
discount coupon.
More info to come, likely next weekend!
Cheers,
Felix

There are a couple of us that will be working on the guide. Is the phone call just for general functionality of the Guidebook app? If so, I can just take the call and send minutes to Felix. If it is more specific & detailed call agenda, I would like Felix on the call as well.

Hi Felix,
Great question! The Schedule Track cell on each row allows for multiple tracks, so one session can have many different schedule track designations. Just add each schedule track there, separated by a semicolon.

Hi Gulnar,
I do have a question about how to import schedule data from a file. The template CSV shows a column for "Schedule Track" but it looks like it's just for one track. In the web interface I'm able to add a schedule item to multiple tracks. What's the format to use in a CSV file to link a row to multiple tracks? Thanks!

Subject: Re: [Pycon-mobile-guide] [Guidebook] Update: Intro to Guide Building Team (PyCon) Date: Sun, 02 Apr 2017 18:29:59 -0400
Hi all,
Thanks for the intro and the templates! I've gotten started on a few parts of the guide this weekend. Here's what I've done so far: - Update links, graphics, names, etc. to reflect PyCon 2017 instead of 2016. - Set up sidebar menu sections and icons.
- Deleted old speakers, sponsors, etc.
- Got a good chunk of automation in place based on the templates Gulnaar provided. I've uploaded *all the **speakers and sponsors*, and can easily regenerate the entire list as it changes.
Here's what I'll be doing next:
- Getting the *schedule* import automated as well. Not expecting much difficulty, based on the previously completed work. - Getting *links/connections* automated (e.g. speakers to their talks). This is new/different work but it shouldn't be hard. - Importing *sponsor logos*. This is a little trickier because the exported data doesn't link the files to their sponsors, but I'm hopeful that some simple heuristics for matching by name should make this automatable as well, meaning the entire sponsor list can be deleted and rebuilt as needed without manual intervention. - Getting "special pages" imported, such as the Code of Conduct. This is very little work, just have to check the code from last year still works.
