News & Updates

January, 2024

---

It’s a new year and we continue to follow our guiding star and main product value: The meeting. There is a lot of news in the Matchmaking and Meeting Generation area, and some important steps have been taken with Session Management. Grab some coffee and read on! ☕

Matchmaking & Meeting Generation 🤝

• The Meeting generator has been updated with new settings: Break duration and Padding between sessions and meetings. The break duration settings allow you to choose a default break in minutes between meetings. This will make it possible to, most often, only having to add one time slot per day. The padding between sessions and meetings setting allows you to automatically add an extra break before and after participants’ booked sessions. This will give your attendees more time to move between meetings and sessions.
• The Meeting generator settings Double book company sessions and Double book participant sessions have been renamed and logically reversed to Honor company session bookings and Honor participant session bookings. They work just the same, just the other way around.
• You can now set the Number of rating stars for a Meeting party to 1 or 2 stars. The minimum number of stars at 3 has been removed.
• We have released some UI improvements for your Meeting partakers. When rating other partakers, they can select their main preference for 1-1 meetings or Group meetings at the top. They can then later individualize their requests.

Session Management 🗣

• The sessions’ Location field is now a drop-down menu with a preset list of locations. You can configure and sort your event’s session locations at Administer → Sessions → Locations. You can add a description to each location. This makes it clickable in the Logged in views and Public views and triggers a popup window with your description.
• The Sessions page in the administrator backend has gotten some UI updates including a wider list with more records in it.

Registration & Public Pages 📝

• You can now create Ticket type packages at Settings → Ticket Types. Click on an entrance ticket type and then Add ticket type to package or Add session to package. Sessions without ticket types already connected to them can be added and multiple additional tickets can be added in different quantities. When registering and purchasing tickets, the ticket type package behaves like a single ticket type. This function can be used, for example, to include coupons or session tickets when registering or purchasing an entrance ticket, or to split the price of an entrance ticket using different VAT rates.
• The registration and public pages of your events now have unique page <title>‘s. The sessions page, for example, now has the new page title Sessions | Your Event Name. A specific session page now has the new page title The Session Name | Your Event Name. This improves SEO and the user experience when navigating public pages.

New Import Types 💾

• Session locations – Allows you to import session locations in batches.
