Planner Portal Update - Share Event Summaries with External Stakeholders

Expected Release Date: 01/28/2026

You can now share or download summaries of your closed events directly from the new Passkey Planner Portal—making it easy to keep stakeholders informed, even if they don’t have Planner Portal access.

This update modernizes the former Event Certificate feature from the previous Planner Portal experience, giving you a more flexible and shareable way to communicate event performance.

What’s New:

From a closed event, you can view a clean, high-level event summary that highlights key metrics such as:

• Pickup

• Rooms per night

• Booking pace

You can then download or share this summary with external stakeholders, including those without Planner Portal accounts.

How to Access:

1. Open a closed event in the Planner Portal.

2. From the Event Overview screen, click View event summary.

3. A modal opens displaying the event’s key performance metrics, ready to share or download.

This update makes it easier to communicate results, streamline reporting, and extend visibility beyond the Planner Portal—without extra steps or access requirements.

• Click Share link to generate a URL you can send to anyone. Recipients do not need a Planner Portal account to view the summary, and their access is limited to the key event metrics shown in the modal. They won’t be able to navigate to other events or access additional pages within the Planner Portal.

• Click Download to generate a PDF of the same key event metrics displayed in the modal. You can then share the PDF via email or another preferred method.

Upcoming Enhancements to Event Activity Report

Expected Release Date: 01/28/2026

What’s New:

The Event Activity Report now provides expanded insights into reservation modifications and cancellations across all Passkey reservation channels. These enhancements give you a more complete view of how reservations change over time—not just where they were originally created.

With this update, you can analyze activity in two distinct modes:

Reservations by Creation Date

You can see:

• How many reservations were created within your selected date range

• How many of those reservations were later modified or canceled (including changes made after the selected date range)

• The channel responsible for the last modification or cancellation

Note: The number of modified or canceled reservations will always be less than or equal to the number of reservations created.

Reservations by Activity Date

You can see:

• How many reservations were created within the selected date range

• How many reservations were modified or canceled during that same timeframe

• The channel responsible for the last modification or cancellation

Note: In this mode, the number of modified or canceled reservations may exceed the number of reservations created in the same date range.

Together, these updates help you understand not only where reservations originate, but also how and where they’re being modified or canceled—giving you deeper insight into channel performance and customer behavior.

How to Access:

1. Navigate to the Event Activity Report.

2. Select your desired date range.

3. Choose between Creation Date or Activity Date mode to view reservation creation, modification, and cancellation activity by channel.

These new views are available automatically as part of the enhanced Event Activity Report.

And that wraps up the release updates for this window—stay tuned for more exciting enhancements with Exchange in the next release window!
