Tell me more! Tell me more! This week we have #AttendeeHub, #Event(Flex), #NewExperience, #EventDiagramming, and even Integrations Updates!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attendee Hub

Home Screen Scheduling

You will have the ability to schedule, reschedule, and control the order of both default and custom cards on the Attendee Hub home page across both the website and event app.

With this update, the Schedule Appointment card will now route attendees to My Schedule, rather than the attendee/guest side calendar. This will help prevent context switching during the event and create a more cohesive experience.

Exhibitor Booth Hour Enhancements

You now have the ability to create an event-level schedule for your Attendee Hub expo that includes multiple time slots. Additionally, the booth hours are now included on the exhibitors' Attendee Hub booths and will indicate whether the booth is open or closed, setting the expectation with attendees if booth staff are available for them to interact with. When Exhibitor Chat is closed, it will also now inform attendees when it is next scheduled to be open.

Text Discussions (Web)

You will now have the ability to add text discussions to your events or do both video and text for your events. This will help attendees connect with one another and interact with others on a shared topic but with less commitment than video discussions for example. This makes it easier for those who are camera shy to participate and get the whole user base involved.

This version of Text Discussion will only have text, image uploads will come after and be a separate release.

Preview of Custom Pages in the App Builder

While creating a custom page, planners can now preview how the page will appear on both the web and event app.

 

Registration

Website Navigation Title

Website pages have a new field to define their name in the website navigation. This allows pages to share names and is especially useful in the case we want the same page to display for different users, now they can all have the same title.

 

General Ledger Code Cross Event Report: New Field Categories

The report is now on parity with other financial reports. The report now supports all the field categories available for financial reports.

 

General Ledger Code Cross Event Report: Advanced Criteria

The report now supports filtering using Advanced Criteria. The advanced criteria will not be applied to the report's financial summary section.

 

Event Management

New Experience

Event Creation via MRF in New Experience

You can click on "Create Event" button on the meeting request form to access a New Event Options Page and select one of the new creation flows/pages:

• Scratch: Creating the event from blank state
• Copy: Copying an Existing Event
• Template: Selecting a template event
• Set Up Later (No Registration Required): This is when event is not ready for the audience and event needs to be set up for Planning only

Automatic Event Creation flow via MRF: Create a New Experience event with limited features, when event creation trigger creates an event automatically via MRF

New Limited Feature Event: This is a new name for old No Registration Required Events. Limited feature event can only be used for planning, budgeting, adding tasks and documents.

• Limited feature event can be converted to an actual event for the audience by clicking on new Set Up Event button or Set up Event Tip on the home page
• Set up Event button will allow you to access the Event options page and you can create an event for the audience by selecting creation options like Scratch, Copy and Template

New Event Copy Page: We have added a new copy page using which you can select an event to copy when creating an event via meeting request form

Note: All existing workflows for Meeting request forms, triggers etc. should work as it is and are not impacted by this change

 

Email and Attendee Hub Notification schedule settings on Copy/Template Event Creation flow

Planners can now adjust the scheduled emails and attendee hub notification dates from the source event as per new event dates, while creating the event via copy/template creation flow

- To adjust the send dates of the scheduled emails as per event dates, select "Adjust Email Send Dates" option under Emails
- To adjust the send dates of Attendee Hub notifications as per event dates, select "Adjust Notification Send Dates" option under Attendee Hub Notifications

Note: Attendee Hub Notification setting will only be visible when source or template event has Attendee Hub enabled

 

My Cvent

Social Tables Support in My Cvent

You can now link Social Tables to their My Cvent profile.

 

Event Seating and Diagramming (Previously Social Tables)

Measurement Guides for Additional Table Types

Earlier last year, we released our measurement guide functionality for round tables, which allowed you to easily know the distance between active tables (previously the only way to do so was via the ruler tool after placement). With this release, we have expanded measurement guides to include the additional following table types:

• Square
• Rectangle
• Theater rows
• Crescent 

Modal Redesign

In 2019, we released a new design for Event Diagramming that deviated from our previous purple color scheme; however, in various locations within our product we are still surfacing modals with the outdated design patterns. We have updated and improved the following modals:

• Quick Print Messaging
• Updates to Diagram

 

Integrations

Standalone Surveys available in Salesforce App

• Create survey programs in Salesforce link them to surveys in Cvent.
• Set up data transfer settings and store your survey data in Salesforce objects.
• Sync contact, custom contact, respondent, and answer data from Cvent
• Sync survey data on a per-program basis.

 

Salesforce App updates to attendee activities & field mappings

• Sync more attendee activities to SF App captured via Attendee Hub (exhibitors) & registration website
• Updates to field mappings to allow static and default values to be mapped to SF fields
