My Ininerary FAQ's
What is the My Itinerary tool?
This tool, which requires a temporary user account to be created, allows the user to use other program tools (Search, Browse, etc.) to build a customized itinerary for the meeting, which is saved online and can be downloaded and printed.
How do you use the My Itinerary tool?
The first step is to create a user account. Click on any of the My Itinerary icons to begin this process. Once the account is created, the user is taken to the Itinerary page, which will at first appear empty. The user should use the Search, Advanced Search and Browse features to add contributions or sessions to their itinerary. Contributions are added by selecting the checkbox near the session or contribution title and clicking the "Add Checked Selections to My Itinerary" button.
Once added, the user reviews the itinerary by selecting the "My Itinerary" button. Red "X's" allow the user to delete items from their itinerary.
Using the Add a Personal Note button, the user can insert their own text into the itinerary.
Other links create a printable version, a downloadable version suitable for use on a PDA and a deletion button (Clear My Itinerary). The Printable version pops up in a pop-up window for printing; the transfer to PDA option uses the AvantGo system, which is documented completely through the My Itinerary feature. AvantGo requires users to create another account in order to add a data channel from OASIS for delivery of the itinerary to their PDA.
The My Itinerary tool is pretty complicated. Do I have to use it?
No, multiple other search and print functions are available to allow access to the meeting schedule and abstract information. Use the features and tools you feel most comfortable with.
