Editor's Notes
- #3 We’ve spent over 7,700 hours on the development of new products and enhancements this year. And it’s thanks to you, that our platform is in constant motion. The feature request ideas we’ve received globally have helped us to achieve and maintain this momentum.
- #4 Some of the new features now available include: Responsive eReg Mass Upload Payment plans An Onsite Admin registration profile, and A new eSelect module And I’ll take you through each of these in a little more detail now.
- #5 eReg, our most widely used module is now responsive on any device. Let’s take a look at a responsive website in action. https://www.eiseverywhere.com/ereg/newreg.php?eventid=142219 As you can see here, when I change the size of the page the fields change and adapt to fit the space
- #6 To enable this on your registration sites, simply go eReg Settings > Advanced Settings > General Settings and select this checkbox
- #7 This will improve the registration experience for your attendees by allowing them to register on smart phones and tablets as well as their desktops and laptops. On screen are some screenshots from a smart phone of the New main Menu and New responsive date selector
- #8 There is also new page loading spinner and reformatted tables
- #9 Another new feature is mass updating information for attendees via upload
- #10 Only users with a specific module profiles can use Mass Upload, and you can contact Support to activate this. Then you can export the Registration list, make changes to the spreadsheet and then upload it. This is particularly useful for clients who get updated travel and hotel information from their travel agencies. Making mass changes to all of your attendees is now a lot quicker and easier.
- #11 Now let’s take a look at the new Payment feature: Partial Payments and Payment Plans
- #12 When using the credit card payment method with a gateway, you can now allow attendees to make a partial payment, or deposit, rather than just the full amount.
- #13 You can decide the payment due date, either an exact date, or a specific amount of days before or after the event.
- #14 When adding a new payment plan you can select; A payment plan name The payment due date And the payment amount, either a fixed amount or a percentage of the full registration fee
- #15 For example, this attendee registered on the 16 February, therefore they were only prompted to pay 25% of the registration cost. So $100 instead of the full $400
- #16 Reporting on payment plans can be done on the registration list and in custom reports, with the fields Payment in arrears, and Next payment due And you can of course still use the balance due, total cost and other standard fields.
- #17 We have also released an Admin Check-in User Profile
- #18 In User Profiles you can now create a profile for users which restricts them to “Admin check-in and Admin registration functions” only.
- #19 When logged in as this profile, the user can check attendees in…
- #20 and look up attendee details. but none of the other editing options are available within eReg. So it’s great for your onsite registration staff.
- #21 We’ve also added a button allowing users with this profile to do an Admin registration from the check-in report
- #22 And another button that quickly allows them to quickly register another attendee from the Registration Record page
- #23 The new eSelect interface is something we’re really excited about.
- #24 This is the back end of the new eSelect, which will be released in just a couple of weeks at the end of September. eSelect is ideal for managing award nominations and abstract submissions. It allows submitters to log in and put forward their content, and then reviewers can log in to view the submitters content and add scores and comments. So it’s an easy way for you to manage both of these user types and their nomination or abstract experience.
- #25 The new eSelect features include: A multi-stage submission process Intuitive User Role and Review assignment Comprehensive emails (and this includes default system messages and the ability to create your own emails) Ad Hoc reporting and dashboards Plus, Submitters can use scientific notation, special characters and mathematic equations in their submissions. And as you can see on this screen – you can also print Abstracts books and export straight to excel or Microsoft word
- #26 Here is the view for a user logged in who is both a Submitter and Reviewer. You can also create user who are either a submitter or reviewer. This view is completely customisable so you can make sure it is on brand with your event.
- #27 Here you can see just how easier it is for Reviewers to log in and score submissions. On the left hand side they can read the submission and on the right hand side they can submit their scores. There’s not enough time for me to show you all of the great features in eSelect today, so please sign up for a training session in October.
- #28 We are continually adding new features and enhancements to our platform, so how can you keep up with our innovations?
