We are excited to give you more control around event communications and help ensure attendees are receiving meaningful alerts regarding the event. 

Appointment Consumption Reports 

Planners who are creating and updating meetings on behalf of others via the Planner Calendar can now include any pertinent information via Private Notes. Allowing planners to add a private note for the host and other participants helps to streamline information regarding an appointment, reducing the need for hosts or attendees to go to multiple places to prepare. 

New Agenda widget 

The new agenda widget offers a refreshed look-and-feel with new branding and configuration options for displaying sessions on the event website. The new layout makes it easier for attendees to find session content most relevant to them.

Production Sandbox Accounts 

Some Cvent clients benefit from having a separate Sandbox Account for testing purposes. This includes testing changes to integrations, testing different configurations of Cvent, and conducting user training in an isolated manner. 
 
Cvent will now provide access to Sandbox Accounts in the same environment as Production accounts. We'll also be able to offer Sandbox Accounts in the European data center if you are looking to keep your data in that location. These new accounts include improved application performance, Service Level Agreements, and site status monitoring at status.cvent.com.

American Express Virtual Payment Integration 

Virtual Payment (vPayment) integration allows Cvent clients, who are large global organizations, to issue Amex virtual cards in multiple currencies for various locations within their Event Budget and manage transactions for the events that are taking place worldwide. You will no longer need to add Amex plastic corporate meeting cards in the event budget in order to issue virtual cards. This feature allows for the direct integration between client's Amex vPayment billing account and Cvent Event Budget. 
 
This integration is only available with Cvent New Budget Module. 

Card Overview Page in New Budget 

You can now access all the Card Integration metrics in the New Event budget on a separate Card Overview page. This page is built in the form of a dashboard providing actionable insights regarding event funding and reconciliation of the event expenses.

Download Simple RFP Documents  

To date, planners can Create an RFP and send it to the Supplier to get a response.

With this release, our planners can download Proposals for Simple RFP in Access Portals that will help them share it offline with the other stakeholders. Planners can download proposals in Word & PDF format. 

Improved Data Security for Event reports  

For data security purposes, we now require Account Users to have Event Visibility for that event in order to run an Event report published to them in Access Portal. 
 
Account Users without event visibility for the associated event will not be able to run event reports within Access Portal and the "Run" button will be disabled with a message to contact their administrator. This prevents Account Users from being able to access event data that they should not have access to. 

Password Policy Improvements  

As an improved security measure, we have changed the password policy for Access Portal users, so that the password rules follow the same pattern as Account Users when the Cvent account setting for Password Rules is set to "Strong." 

Decline Retraction for Venue Proposals 

After a venue submits a proposal, you can award or decline that proposal. If you decline, but later want to withdraw the action, you can now retract your previous decline on the RFP management page in Access Portal and the proposal will go back to a Submitted Proposal status. 

Content Tab in Access Portal 

The planner-side Content tab for Access Portal has been redesigned to improve performance and usability. Additionally, Portal managers can now unpublish content in bulk from an Access Portal. 

Report List Performance Improvements  

We have improved the performance of the report list within Access Portal and users should see a substantially faster page-load time. The report list is now paginated so it will load and display a smaller number of reports at a time, based on the selected page size and will ensure reliable loading of the list, even for users with hundreds of reports. 

Vendor Marketplace and Meeting Request Form Integration 

You can now simply click the Create RFI button on the Meeting Requests screen and initiate a Vendor RFI to multiple vendors in Vendor Marketplace. This integration makes the process of requesting information much easier for users of Meeting Request Form. 

Sandbox Accounts in Meeting Request Form 

Some Cvent clients benefit from having a separate Sandbox Account for testing purposes. This includes testing changes to integrations, testing different configurations of Cvent, and conducting user training in an isolated manner. 
 
Cvent will now provide access to Sandbox Accounts in the same Production environment used for primary client accounts. 

Cross Environment Badge-Kit Support 

Cross environment Badge-Kit support for Cvent Badge-Kit is now available. This allows you to review lead data across multiple environments (for Universal LeadCapture users) and run lead reports/exports as per current process.

You will have the ability to apply event branding to the exhibitor portal. This includes adding an event logo for the exhibitor portal and portal login screen and adding an event banner to appear on the home page 

Session Walk-in Settings for Android Devices 
You can now fill a session to capacity if enrolled attendees no show, define walk-in rules and settings globally at the session level, and determine which reg types can walk-in to specific sessions and when to allow for walk-ins (i.e. 5 minutes before a sessions start time). 

Here Now in Location report 

For RFID events, this report allows you to select one or more locations and then see what attendees have been at a given Location at a given time. When running the report, the date/time defaults to the current time to see a live view of which attendees are in the room. 

Duration Support for Classic Sessions in OnArrival 

We have added support for calculating duration for classic sessions. Attendees with just one check-in will have their duration calculated as check-in until end time. Attendees with a check-in and check-out will have their duration calculated as checked-in until check-out. Duration Tracking has been renamed to "Multi Check-in and checkout". 

Editable Seating Groups 

For the Event Integration, if you select to group by a field when importing a guestlist, we will create a read-only Custom Column as well as an editable Seating Group Column. The read-only field gives you a point of reference as it will receive updates from Cvent. The editable Seating Group Column will be a one-time copy and will not receive updates after that point and will function as it would when using guests not via the integration.  

Remove Canceled Attendees  

When you are connected to a Cvent Event through the Event Integration, you will now be able to delete attendees who have been cancelled in the Summary of Changes modal, left panel, grid, and attendee modal. Deleting a cancelled attendee that is part of a seated group will unseat and remove the attendee from the group – it will not impact the seating assignments of the remaining attendees in the group. 

Integration Contacts 

You can now specify users who need to receive communication about updates to Cvent's integration solutions. They can be managed from a new page: Admin > Integrations > Integration Contacts. 
 
All Cvent integration solutions are listed on the Integration Contacts page. You can click into each integration to manage which users will receive communication about that integration. Once an integration has been selected, you can select from existing users or create a new "No-login" user (if they do not need to login to Cvent).

Admins are now able to fill out the RFP Requirement field for questions that live in Templates > Question Library.
