Event attendees can now save favourite presentations to their personal agenda, and administrators can automatically update form fields when sending bulk emails.

Overview

This release introduces personal agenda functionality for event attendees to save favourite presentations, and bulk field updates when sending emails to automate attendee data management.

New Features

Personal Agenda with Favourite Presentations

Event attendees can now create their own personalized agenda by saving favourite presentations throughout the program. Users can mark any presentation as a favourite with a single click, and all saved presentations appear in a dedicated “My Agenda” page for easy access. This feature helps attendees plan their conference experience by curating a custom schedule of sessions they don’t want to miss.

How to Access

  • My Agenda Page: Navigate to “My Agenda” from the main navigation menu (identifiable by a heart icon)
  • Program Page: Browse the full event program and click the heart icon on any presentation card

How to Use It:

  1. Navigate to the “Program” page to view all conference sessions
  2. Browse through sessions by date, location, or using search filters
  3. When you find a presentation you want to attend, click the heart icon in the top-right corner of the presentation card
  4. The heart icon will turn solid red and you’ll see a confirmation message
  5. View all your saved presentations by navigating to “My Agenda”

Note: You must be logged in to save favourites. Your saved presentations sync across all devices.

Key Capabilities:

  • Persistent Storage: Favourites are saved across sessions and devices
  • Real-time Updates: Instant feedback when adding or removing favourites
  • Date Organization: Presentations organized by date for easy planning
  • Quick Access: Direct links to videos, slides, and abstracts from your agenda

For Event Administrators

Administrators can customize the agenda experience through Project Settings:

  1. Navigate to Pages > Program (or My Agenda)
  2. Expand “Program View Settings”
  3. Toggle “Allow Favourite” to enable or disable the feature
  4. Configure display settings including speaker avatars, duration, topics, and presentation styles

Bulk Field Update on Email Send

Administrators can now automatically update form fields for all email recipients when sending bulk emails to faculty or attendees. This automation eliminates the need to manually update attendee data after communication, allowing you to mark recipients with specific statuses or track communication actions directly as emails are sent.

How to Access: Navigate to Faculty or Attendees page → Click “Email” button → Select or create a template

The bulk field update option appears at the bottom of the email template editor.

How to Use It:

  1. Open the email template editor by clicking the edit icon on a template
  2. Scroll to the “Bulk field update (optional)” section at the bottom
  3. Click “Select field to update” and choose the form field you want to update
  4. Select the value that should be set for all email recipients
  5. Save the template - the email preview will show a warning banner indicating the configured update
  6. When you send emails using this template, the field update is applied automatically to all recipients

Common Use Cases:

  • Set “Invited to Event” to “Yes” when sending invitations
  • Change “Registration Status” to “Confirmed” after confirmation emails
  • Mark “Reminder Sent” to “Yes” when sending reminders
  • Track communication types like “Welcome Email” or “Payment Reminder”
