Catalyst Conference Center

Once you have successfully logged into Catalyst, you will go to a Conference Center Page.

Because Catalyst is modified to "match" the online style of different organizations, Conference Center Page come in a variety of shapes and sizes. But they do have some common characteristics we can explain to you.

You'll see a page something like this:

Typically there's a logo from the Conference Sponsor in the upper corner, some sort of welcome message along the left side, a conference list on the right side, and some tools in the upper right corner. Let's look more closely at a couple of these.

Conference List

You'll see a list conferences you can enter:

When there is numbers in red to the right of the Conference Name, this means that there are new entries in the conference you have not yet read.

You may enter a conference by either clicking on the Conference Name, in which case you will go to the conference main page, or you may click on the numbers and go directly to new entries you have not read.

For new users, while you are getting used to Catalyst, we recommend you enter the conference by clicking on the name.

Tools

In the upper right hand corner of the Conference Center Page are a couple useful tools.

Click on Search to search the items in the conference, just as you would do a search on the web. See the Search Item later in this tutorial.

Click on Help to access some of the same kinds of information in this tutorial.

Click on Your Name to access your profile, setups, and e-mail options. You'll find more information about these features later in this tutorial.
