Top News: Custom Widgets and more
The product team has 2 big improvements they're working to deliver in this window that we know you’re going to love:
Custom Widgets - Create custom widgets to solve for unique use cases and styling needs for website and registration pages. Custom widgets can be used within the Site Designer to access session, speaker, and fee information from the event to further customize the site beyond what the standard widgets provide.
The following is an example of a new session registration experience created using Custom Widgets to display images and sessions in a card-style format. The custom widget allows control over which session information to display and how it is presented. It has also been built to consume the theme from the site designer, integrating the widgets nicely into whichever event it is added to, and allowing invitees to register for sessions
Technical resources are required to build these custom widgets. Developers can reference the documentation for Custom Widgets on the Developer Portal once released. After the code for the custom widget has been developed, account users with administrative access to custom widget management can create, edit, and archive the widgets in admin.
New Event Reports & Report Sunsets - We know that there are many reports available for you to run, and it can often be difficult to find the right reports for your needs. Even when the right report is found, it often requires data from additional reports to be manually consolidated, leading to confusion and delays in the planning process.
As part of this release, we have consolidated 23 Event reports and created 5 new master reports.
Both old and new report templates will be available on the Reports List page until April 1st, 2024. After this date, you won’t be able to run old report templates, but will still be able to access saved reports created from those templates. You will have up until July 1st, 2024 to re-create saved reports using new master report templates, after which the access to the saved reports will be deprecated.
