News & Updates

October, 2023

---

Although we still focus on meetings and matchmaking, there have of course been updates in all areas! New profile fields, widgets, and on-site badges 🎫 together with some refreshing enhancements 🌟 have been released. 🍂

Registration, Follow up & Profiles 📝

• A new type of profile field has been added: the File upload field 📎. This new field type can be used for all types of profiles and allows users to upload files eg. in registration forms, for session profiles, or company product pages. The file field can be set up to accept all files, images only 🖼, or PDFs only 📄.
• Average statistics are now available for profile fields. The average value will be summarized in statistics views and exports for List, Radio buttons, and Multiple choice checkboxes fields. This is useful when, for example, using ⭐️ as values to allow rating sessions or the event in Follow up forms.

Event Cards Widget 📆

• A new type of Widget is available: Event cards. With this widget, you can select other events from the same Organization and display them as cards on any event page. This can be used to promote other passed or upcoming events. The event cards widget can only be created and edited by Supervisor Administrators and Supervisor Event Administrators since it requires access to all events of the organization. Other administrators can use the widget inside the event after it has been created.

New On-site Printing Solution 🖨

• We are ditching the plastic for on-demand badge printing! New high-quality two-sided badges are available, ready to be clicked into a lanyard immediately after printing. Our new badging solution has been used for some time and is now fully rolled out, replacing the old paper rolls and plastic sleeves 🌍.

The Event App 📱

• The Event App now supports native notification badges 🔔. These indicate the number of unread notifications in the app on the home screen of the user’s device. You know that little red circle with a number in it that grabs your attention?

Sessions 🗣

• You can now sort lecturers and speakers for sessions manually. By default, lecturers are sorted A-Z. Now, by clicking on Sort lecturers when editing a Session you can switch to Custom sorting, and then drag and drop the lecturers into the exact order of your choice 🔀.

Exports and API Updates 💾

• The Entrance tickets with participant information export have a new column: Order number.
• Supervisors can now pull the Events list in the Supervisor section directly to XLSX or CSV format 📊.
• Version 2.2.13 of the InvitePeople REST API has been released, adding the order object to Ticket, Participant, and User endpoints. For more details, visit our documentation at https://docs.invitepeople.com/ 📚.
