a huge revamp of how we create, manage and view users
EVENT > Users is now EVENT > People, this shows a list of all people associated with the event, their roles and transactions
Web forms, Personal Details form, Invoice Information form and product forms now have a set of 'Person' fields. Previously First Name, Last Name and Email fields just captured information as form data, these new fields create an Evessio account so that named users e.g. Table booking guests can be tracked and sent messages or invited to return to future events. We will be rolling out several GDPR compliant enhancements to improve retention and interaction with all event participants.
New 'Employee' role automatically associates collaborators with their organisations
Improved visibility of person and role status using coloured icons
The Person history page show a timeline of all interactions
Logged-in area re-design
We are always looking to make the account, orders and checkout process as intuitive as we can and we have some great enhancements to the basket and logged-in area
Quick access to any order by type e.g. returning to add guest names to table bookings
Thank you page now remains inside the logged-in area
Exhibitor zone and Awards Judging have improved
Exhibitions
Exhibitor zone updated - easier access to tasks, exhibitor pages, public profile
New Exhibitor stand product - stands can now be charged for or simply assigned to exhibitors if the transaction is handled outside of Evessio.
Exhibitor stands and stand numbers easily managed via the new Exhibitor stands table
Collaborators
Public profiles for Speakers and Judges, now optionally editable by the collaborators themselves
This update is only available for new events created after this release
The body section for the template for logged-in pages is now fixed at full-width to accommodate improved menus and page rendering. Placing page content elsewhere in the template is no longer an option.
Pages marked as "Private" which are accessible in public areas will require a login / registration and then link to the required page
Products / Checkout
Adding a duplicate product to the basket by clicking a product button e.g. "Book now" will raise a warning and offer the user a choice to add the duplicate item or cancel
Table Booking product type now included in Conference and Exhibition modules
the Invoice details contact can now be selected from a list of already named people within the current transaction
