There will be a "Genius Bar" set up next to Registration for anyone who needs some assistance in downloading or navigating the Guidebook app.
You can also access Guidebook via a laptop with the following Web Address:
Once downloaded or navigated to in your browser, open the app. At the bottom is a query link “Have a Passphrase”
Enter: FWP2020
Rotary – Far West PETS 2020 will come up. Unless you are on WiFi, it may take a while to load. Click on the Far West PETS 2020 icon and it will take you to the landing page with a welcome message.
For smartphones, there is a menu icon in the upper left corner. Here you can see the overall schedule, the tracks, event staff, presenters & faculty, a venue map and more. For tablets, the menu should automatically display to the left of the welcome screen, but provide the same information.
Guidebook is designed to be a dynamic program so that any last-minute changes will be reflected immediately. Make sure to update the program regularly using the refresh icon in the upper right corner of the menu.
To personalize your GUIDEBOOK experience, you may choose to create an account and log-in. Doing so allows you to create a custom My Schedule with just your group letter so you don't have to scroll through all the other group assignments.
This feature is available on smartphones and tablets only, running the Guidebook app. Regretably, this feature is not available if using the Web-based version.
Upon arrival at PETS, you will pick up your Name Badge at Registration. This badge has your District Number, as well as your Group Code printed on it. Open your GUIDEBOOK and select Schedule from the menu. All sessions are listed in time order. At the top, you can select Fri, Sat, or Sun. Starting with Friday, find your desired Elective class and click the + next to it. You will be prompted for reminder times. Once you select 15, None, or Other, the session will be added to your My Schedule. You can do this for the General sessions also.
Next, look for the Training Sessions that have your Group Code Letter next to them. Group Codes go from A to DD, A2 to DD2, A3 to DD3 and A4 to DD4. The "2" next to the letter indicates you have special sessions as the president of a Large Club. The "3" next to the letter indicates you have special sessions as an Assistant Governor. The "4" next to the letter indicates you have special sessions as the president of a Small Club. Otherwise, just follow your letter assignment. Again, click the + next to your session and it will be added to your My Schedule.
When you click on the session in either Schedule or My Schedule, you will get details, including class location. The room names are actually listed on top of the room map graphic., but there is a > to the right of the room map graphic that will show where the room is on the hotel map.
All of your district meetings will be held in the same room throughout the event.
If you inadvertently clicked the + next to the wrong session, just click what is now a checkmark and it will clear back to the +.
Feel free to try this program before PETS, with any sessions, just remember to clear them back to + so you can select the proper sessions once you get your group assignment.
