  • Meta Description

Once the exported file is updated and used for import, any new values in the columns above will be used to update the relevant field for the product(s) modified.

On the Product Details>Advanced tab in the Required Product section, there will be a new checkbox, "Remove Requirement."  When this checkbox is selected, additional fields will be displayed to allow Admins to specify the following:

  • Number of Days
  • Before/After
  • Primary Product
    • Purchase Date

    • Event End Date

This option will only apply when the Required Product is assigned to an Event, and when the Assignment states of the Required Product are as follows:

Product Group Print Report

Admins will see an overview of print details to plan Staffing and onsite resources for Event Products

There will be a new Report added to the Product Group Report options, "Registration Types."  If the Registration type is in a Product Group Sub Group, the Sub Group Title will be displayed.  The Report will group all Registration types in the Sub Group, similar to the order used in the Packet Setup.  If a particular Registration Type is not in a Sub Group, Participants with that Reg Type will be displayed ungrouped at the bottom of the Report.  If a Sub Group does not have any Reg Types, then it will not be displayed.  There will be columns for:

  • Total Badges

      • Thurs is not printed
      • Fri has been printed 1x prior to Event Start, 2x after Event Start
      • Thurs shows 1 Total and 1 print pending, Fri shows 1 Total, 1 Advance, & 2 Onsite

Org Roster Import updates

Admins managing Org Roster Imports will be able to update Order Product, Order Product Participant, and Form data for an existing order

When an Admin performs an Org Roster import, the system will use logic to determine if an Order Product is retained or replaced.  if the logic determines that an Order Product record is going to be replaced, the Order Product will be processed with no changes.  If the logic determines that an Order Product record is going to be retained, the system will compare the rows of the import to the current data and, if there is a difference, records will be updated as follows:

  • If the specific Order Product has an amount paid
    • Only handle the money if prepaid
    • If the order has been paid, and:
      • the price has been changed to a lower price for the product, a refund is issued
      • if the price has been changed to a higher amount, then the prepaid amount is added
  • Form Questions
  • Address

If the file has blank values for the columns above, they will not be updated during the Org Roster Import.  This new logic to update Participant data will only happen when using the Org Roster Import, not the normal Roster Import.

Cart display of Course Number

Customers viewing Products in the Shopping Cart will see a label for the Course Number for every Product

The Course Number will be displayed on the Product Details page for all Products.  There will be a new Configuration in Settings>Configuration>Shopping Cart, "Term to use for the Course Number label in the product display." By default, this Configuration will be blank but can be updated by Admins.  The Configuration will only be applied to the Shopping Cart, Admins will not see this label and field in the Admin site.  When a Product has a Course Number populated, it will be displayed as {Course Number Term} {Course Number value} {Short Description - if this has any text}. If a Product does not have a Course Number in the admin Product Details, then this will not be displayed.

Product Location image Email operator

Admins managing Email Messages will have the ability to insert a Location image into an Email Message body

Emails that have Product data, will have two new operator types, "Location Image," and "Location Image URL." When the "Location Image" operator is inserted, the image from the Image URL on the Location is embedded into the email body as an image tag. When the "Location Image URL" operator is inserted, the Location Image URL is inserted without any formatting.

Prevent duplicate generated Course Numbers

Admins will be able to ensure that system-generated Course Numbers are not duplicated on Products

When an Organization has chosen to enable auto-generation of Course Numbers for Products, when they select the option to generate a Course Number, the system will ensure that the Course Number is not duplicated for Products. This will apply to Product Save, Variation All, Bulk Product Update, Export for Import, and Product Import.

Update Email Campaign Result Grids

The Email Campaign Results grid will be updated to allow Admins to more easily find a specific Email Campaign result

The Email Campaign Results grid has been updated to use our new grid style, which has been used on the Communication History model for Products.  The grid by default displays 10 records per page, but Admins will be able to choose displays of 25, 50, or 100 records; the All option will be removed. The Mass Communications tab will be updated to use the same grid style and will have options for 10, 25, or 50 records per page.

CC Option on Split Order Confirmation

Admins will now be able to allow Carbon Copies of emails to the ordering Account when an Order is split

When an Organization allows Split Orders, Admins will be able to choose whether a CC email is sent to the ordering Account.  On the Split Confirmation email, there will be a checkbox, "CC to Ordering Account." When that option is selected, and an Order is split, a copy of the split Order Confirmation Email will be sent to the email address associated with the Account that placed the Order.

Improve Add Item to Order Product functionality

Admins will be able to add Dependent or Required Products via the Add Item to Order Product

When a Primary Product in an Order has Required or Dependent Products, then the button to add an item to the Primary Product will always be enabled.  When the add an item button is selected for a Primary Product, all of the Required or Dependent Products will be displayed.  Previously only Dependent/Required Products not already added would be displayed.  If a Product is a Required or Dependent Product, the add item button will not be enabled for those Products.

Staff users who are using the mobile screens for Attendance will now be able to reset a Participant's Attendance History for a specific day

Staff members using the mobile-friendly Attendance pages will now see a button to reset a Participant's Attendance History for a specific day, from the Participant Details. When this button is selected, a dialog will be displayed, asking the Staff member to confirm the reset. If the Staff member selects OK, then the Attendance History for that Participant for that specific day will be reset back to the previous status.  In this example, the Participant was checked in, and after resetting, they have no Attendance History for the day.

When the Onsite Management Page is accessed, there will be a button to Add or Manage Add-Ons for a specific Participant if the Product has any assigned Dependent or Required Products. The button will also have an icon with the count of any active Dependent or Required Products available to the Participant.  The Add/Manage Add-Ons button will be displayed when the button is selected then a modal will be displayed, which will display any assigned Dependent or Required Products including Cariations.  Then, the user can manage Dependent/Required Products for the Participant.
