v1.2.8 Timezones and dates - 16 November 2017

Summary

We've focused on dates and times in this release (amongst other things). Now events have a timezone configuration so that we can accurately calculate various important dates and time for visitors viewing the event site from around the world.

New

  • Event timezones
    In EVENT > Settings the timezone for each event must be set. Various dates and times may shift according to the location of a user in the world.

  • Transactions - VAT number handling
    Now VAT Number fields can be included in Invoice details forms based on rules in the payment setting.
    Pattern recognition for number formats is applied per country.
  • Transactions - Product details on invoices
    Fields from product forms can now be selected for inclusion on invoices.
    e.g. Delegate names for "Event Attendance" products
    This does not apply to Awards Nominations where the "Nomination Name" is used

Improvements

  • Date Formats
    Setting the date format for custom reports.
    Pre-defined or custom formats can be set via Events HQ > Settings > Payments Modifying date formats in custom reports:
  • Awards - Manual invites for collaborators
    Previously, collaborators received invites as soon as they were added to an event. Now the process of inviting can be done after the category assignments have been made.
  • Checkout - Additional admin controls in the basket 
    If you login to the event site with your admin credentials
    > Set the Price or add arbitrary discounts to any item
    > You can optionally include or exclude other existing discounts
  • Awards Nominations - winner classes
    Now you can create various categories for winners, assign icons as well as downloadable hi-res artwork
  • Products - Volume discounts in bands
    The volume discounts can now optionally be applied to the band only
    e.g. in the image, for 2 or more items, item 1 is full price but additional items receive a 50% discount.
  • Templates - Additional variables for 'paperwork' templates
    New [PAYMENT_DUE] variable which will calculate due date based on payment configuration. All other custom variables are also now available here.
