The latest EventsAir release (Version 16.3.7) is due to be rolled out from Monday, March 30 and includes various improvements and resolutions.
🚀 What's new?
New Event – new look!
Our stylish, simplified new event creation screen makes it easier to get started.
Modules are streamlined – for faster event creation, and a cleaner set-up panel in your event, only core modules – Registrations, Agenda, Functions, Notes & Marketing - are included by default in new events (including cloned events).
CE Courses & Membership modules can now be found under the Modules tab too, if your event type (or connected Contact Store) requires them.
This is phase 1 of making it easier to onboard new team members, and get your events set up correctly, right from the start. To help with this, there are 3 new fields: Event format, Delivery type, and estimated number of attendees. For example, you’ll only see options such as Remote Attendee Mode if you’ve selected Hybrid or Virtual delivery.
Invoice header editing has been moved to Financial settings.
Event Website (Modern) - Agenda track colors and more
The color scheme you’ve created in your Agenda panel can now be shown on your event website! The Agenda website widget now supports session/agenda item colors (track colors were already available). You can toggle the “Use Agenda Colors” switch on in the Agenda website widget settings.
More options for cloning and extending
You can now clone a closed website, and expired websites can be extended.
📌Other improvements
Interactive Sites – phone number validation
To make phone number validation easier to use and more accurate, parentheses ( ) are now allowed in phone fields, and the number of minimum required digits has been increased.
Attendee App improvements & fixes
Improvements – push notifications
Improved reliability of push notifications for scheduled communications.
Various issue fixes
Alerts, Agenda times, PNG logos with transparency, and incomplete registrations.
⚒️ Issues fixed
Communications Panel
Merge Docs
Color options in the “Add to Wallet” component weren’t showing. [Ref: PE-1925]
News & Alerts
Editing an alert's body text shortly before sending caused push notifications to display the original text. (Editing alerts/messages is now disabled within 5 minutes of the scheduled send time, with explanatory text added to the Queued tab). [Ref: AE-1555]
Alert publish times displayed inconsistently when the event time zone was changed, including during daylight saving transitions. [Refs: AE1563, APP-10]
Interactive sites
Accommodation - the "Edit booking dates" button wasn't appearing in Classic themed sites. [Ref: AE-1592]
Mobile Phone Validation - Minor visual bugs relating to flag/country display and mandatory settings [Refs:AE-1578, AE-1581, AE-1586)
Event website (Modern)
Editor access - users with the same email address across different tenants couldn’t access the website editor, and saw: “Error calling API: Bad Request”. [Ref: PE-1908]
Agenda/Speakers - Removing a presentation biography caused “No biography available” to display (even if a Contact biography was available). [Ref: PE-1919]
Setup Panel
Accommodation module, Room Type setup - For very long date ranges, the Room Type Setup screen displayed multiple scrollbars; the Save and Delete buttons weren’t always visible. [Ref: PE-1909]
Various panels - Filtering (exclusion)
ID numbers - When filtering, the “exclusion” option wasn’t available for ID numbers. [Ref: AE-1569]
