This update is available now on newly created workspaces. For existing workspaces, please go to Marketplace > Installed modules > Libraries, and update the "spotman-menu-editor" library.
Updates to organization user roles
For more tailored control within the organization, organization users with “organizer” and “member” roles can add new users to the organization as guests only.
URL redirect for events using "legacy" registration page
A redirect option has been created for events that are using legacy registration page URLs, to manage the transition to the new Registration page. For more information on setting this up please contact SpotMe support.
Add to calendar buttons update
The Add to calendar buttons present in registration pages and email templates have been updated to better support browser and email provider requirements.
Preview button added to Studio
We've added a "Preview" button in Studio, to allow users to see and test how the live session will look to your audience in the app, prior to going live.
Login button in registration page for pre-production events
The login button in registration pages will no longer be accessible to attendees while the event is in "pre-production" status. Once the event is moved to "production"status, the login button will become available automatically.
Dates automatically adjust based on user browser (web app)
Dates displayed in the web app are now localized so that they adjust to the attendee's browser (and within the translations in the workspace).
Accepted legal documents in user exports
The user list export now includes a column for each legal document with the date of when it was accepted by the user. This applies to accepting legal documents through the registration page, or before accessing the app if no registration page is configured. If no date is added to the column, this means the legal document was not accepted.
Registration page sent emails added to workspace email logs
The automated emails that are sent out to attendees as part of the registration process are now added to the email logs section in the workspace.
Improve experience for creating content hub categories
We've updated the user interface for creating the hub categories and associating content to them. More information
Closed captions in content hub
Closed captions can now be enabled by visitors watching a live session recording imported from a connected event, if closed captions were configured at the time of the live session in the event.
Web app cookie banner
We slightly changed the text in the web app cookies banner to "You can share anonymized usage statistics with us to improve your experience. Read our cookie policy.".
