Change Organizations
An organization is a group, university, etc., that is hosting the Event. Blackthorn Event Navigator app users can click the “More” menu tab, click Change Organization, and select a new organization (if there are multiple organizations available).
For example, an Attendee may have an undergraduate degree from University A and a master’s from University B. If both schools use Blackthorn and have an Event with Enable Navigator Attendee Mobile App enabled, the Attendee can switch between the schools to view each school’s events.
Switch Events
If Attendees register for multiple Events, they can move between Events by clicking the “More” menu tab, clicking Switch Events, and selecting another Event.

Clicking Contact Us opens a new screen with the contact form where the Attendee fills in the fields. The contact form is then sent to the contact email (Contact Us Email) entered on the Event record.

Blackthorn created the Navigator app; however, Attendees who need assistance must use the app’s Contact Us feature to contact the Event Organizer. Blackthorn cannot assist individual Event Attendees.
If the Contact Us form does not work, Attendees should contact the Event Organizer from the Event webpage’s Contact Us form or by directly contacting the organization hosting the Event.
If the Event Organizer needs additional information, they should open a case with Blackthorn Support.

The amount of Custom Content added to an Event determines where Attendees access the information.
Attendees will access Custom Content with Sort Order = “1” from the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen.
Any additional Custom Content is accessed by clicking the “More” menu tab. The order in which an Attendee sees the information depends on the value in the related Custom Content’s Sort Order field.
