We’re thrilled to announce a new update designed to streamline itinerary management for longer events! Based on feedback from our customers, we’ve reimagined how admins can create and manage itineraries, removing unnecessary complexity and improving the overall user experience.
The Problem
Previously, adding an itinerary for events required creating sub-events—even for general-purpose items like "Check-in Counters" or "Meetup for Prayer." This approach cluttered the admin interface since every sub-event required free tickets or RSVPs, even when these weren't needed.
The Solution
To address this, we’ve introduced
Itinerary Items
, a new feature that allows admins to add general-purpose schedule details without needing to create sub-events. What’s New?
1
.Itinerary Items
Create standalone itinerary items with the following details:
- Name
- Description
- Venue
- Start Date & Time
- End Date & Time
- Perfect for items that don’t require RSVPs or tickets.
2
. Optional/Conditional Itinerary Items
- Just like sub-events, itinerary items can now be conditional!
- Customize visibility based on guest affiliation or form responses.
3.
Unified Schedule
- The system now pulls the full itinerary from both sub-events and itinerary items.
- Items are displayed in chronological order on the Schedule Tab (Event Page) and the Guest Kit for seamless navigation.
4.
Public-Only View
- Only public schedule items will be shown on the Schedule Tab, ensuring that confidential or conditional items remain private.
5.
Easy Management
- Admins can edit or delete itinerary items directly from the event dashboard.
6.
Replication for Recurring Events
- Save time by replicating itinerary items for recurring events effortlessly.
Benefits
- Decluttered Admin Interface: Sub-events are only used when tracking guest attendance matters.
- Simplified Experience: Add itinerary items for general purposes without needing free tickets or RSVPs.
- Enhanced Flexibility: Conditional itinerary items allow tailored schedules based on guest profiles.
- Better Guest Experience: A unified and organized schedule makes navigation easy for attendees.
