Hi Dave,

Looks like it's up and running to me.

Todd,

the agenda portion is up and running yes, but the "planner" portion doesn't seem to be active. the funny thing is, it was active when the agenda was first released but then it was taken down.

the "planner" function would normally be found on the left hand side with the sessions and activities tabs.

Hi Todd and Dave and everyone - thanks for your patience! We are expecting to release it to the app store next month - June. I'll keep you posted for sure. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Thanks Karen. To be clear, are you saying that there won't be any online version of the planner as was the case in the past? It used to even have options to add the selected sessions/activities to our calendars. What will the functionality of the app be? Can it export to PDF or create calendar events? I need something like that for my supervisor's records as well as sharing with coworkers so we don't double dip on sessions.

Hi Royce,

The Agenda Planner should be available this month and is an online app.

Hi Karen,

just to point it out for me:

- Is the Agenda Planner an Online App for iOS and Android Devices that can be downloaded in the App-Store/Play Store?

- Does this agenda planner app replace the Esri Events App?

- Will it also be possible to schedule you own agenda at Agenda | 2015 Esri User Conference or can this just be done with the online app?

- Is there currently any other way to plan your agenda or do we have to wait till the online app will be released?

Thanks in advance and all the best!

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian!

The Agenda Planner is an online app and it will be available for both iOS and Android. We have submitted to the Google and Apple stores. As soon as we get the okay, it will be available for you to download. This does replace any other agenda planning apps we have created in the past. Thanks for you patience!

Hi Karen!

Your reply stated that it's an online app - I don't have access to either types of devices , so I need a PC version. Will that be possible?

Thanks!!!!

It sounds like the planner will be an app and not on-line through the agenda?! That's an awful lot of info to read on a small phone screen. I have eye strain just thinking about it, especially since I have to do it for several people. Just give us back the agenda planner we have been using and enjoying for years. BTW, when are EITHER going to be available, UC is less than 4 weeks away!

Re: ESRI UC Agenda Planner?

KarenRichardson — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:38:56 GMT

Hi Tom - the planner will be online on the web as well - never fear! It is currently in the Google Play and Apple stores. As soon as it is released, we will get it up so you can use it.

Karen,

Any word on the status of the planner?

Re: ESRI UC Agenda Planner?

RebeccaStrauch__GISP — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 15:34:09 GMT

Karen, assuming the answer to Richard's question is still soon (I.e. No real eta), is there any chance you can provide an excel or editable PDF with just the date/time, titles, room, and if there are other sessions. Others details could be looked up on the online agenda already available, but that would help with preplanning/thinning of personal suggestions, and will make it easier to transfer once the app is realeased. Even a PDF of the pocket agenda might help. Only a couple more weekends before the UC...valuable time to review the agenda.

thanks, and I'm still looking forward to using the app once released.

...update...just noticed it is available as an iPad update....downloading now! Yea!

...edit: App updated 6/25/15.... But agenda not quite there yet...but closer to being released I assuming.

I finally resorted to simply writing down the sessions I want to attend and figuring a preliminary schedule by hand. My boss needs to have an idea of what I'll be doing.

On a plus side, the updated iOS app will now accept my ESRI global login, which it rejected in the previous version. Now if they could just get the UC on it.

Agreed. Going through everything will be very difficult on a small smartphone.

Re: ESRI UC Agenda Planner?

I use the planner to find stuff and then enter my schedule into google calendar. Easier to understand, easier to share.

I'm one of those people that really can't stand the UC app. Maybe it's a generational thing, those win-8 style tiles just annoy me. Web 2.0 does not impress.

I was able to go to the Agenda Planner expand all the days I'm interested in making sure you scroll down to the bottom of each day otherwise you don't get all the sessions for that day. Then select all (control a), then copy it to the clip board (control c). Then I was able to paste the copied text into my text editor (control v). Once in my text editor, I can work with it!

Were you actualy able to see the 2015 UC on the events app? I am running android, and it is not showing up for me. Also, my ESRI login does not work on the app.

RebeccaStrauch__GISP — Mon, 29 Jun 2015 15:07:18 GMT

Daniel,

I think Steven is talking about expanding and copying the info from the agenda online Agenda | 2015 Esri User Conference I decided to do the same (copy and paste to a .doc file) until the planning feature is released online and/or the apps.

the iOS version of the app had an upgrade available on June 26 that allowed you to login with your global account. However, the UC2015 is not appearing on the conference list yet (as of June 29 a.m) but I think that is just a matter of it being released (my guess).

Re: not being able to log in: I don't have an android device, but I would check to see if the upgrade is available yet in that store. If you have the upgrade installed, make sure you are using the account you use for the UC (global) and not your arcgis online, in case they are different.
