Eventtia first version release notes
User Access Policy Manual
The new User Access Policies feature provides organizers with the flexibility to define different roles, offering two types of access: Event Organizers, who have full access to Eventtia and the Eventtia Check-in app, and On-site Users, with access to the Eventtia Check-in app without the need to create a password.
Depending on the assigned role, this feature also allows for access policies based on specific dates or a temporal duration in days to limit user activity.
You can read more about these new features through our ReleasePad or Knowledge Base.
Stay updated with Eventtia and make the most of it for your events.
Participant's Custom Field Preview in the Check-in App
We are thrilled to introduce an evolution on Eventtia's Check-in App.
? Download the App by typing 'Eventtia' on the App Store or Play Store.
Now, when validating the QR code at the event, you can configure additional form fields so that during check-in, you can view more detailed information about attendees.
Head to the back office and explore this exciting new feature.
1. Enter the registration module, in the types section
2. Go to the "Registration Form" tab, then click on the green "New" button.
3. Create a custom field and select the following options: "Available in public listings" and "Information displayed when checking QR code."
New report for checkpoints at events
This new functionality to download checkpoint reports brings advanced capabilities to event management. This feature offers a consolidated view of both entry and exit activity at checkpoints, providing a comprehensive insight into participant interactions. Organizers can now access and export a detailed report that provides insights into attendee engagement and the overall flow of the event. This consolidated report not only simplifies data analysis but also aids in strategic decision-making, ensuring a more comprehensive understanding of attendee participation. With this consolidated event reporting functionality, event planners can effectively assess attendee involvement, track attendance patterns, and make informed adjustments to enhance future events.
You can access this from the reports module in the back office, under the registration section, and the checkpoints option. There, you can select a start and end date to determine the filtering time frame, as well as specific or general checkpoints you wish to review. Afterward, you can export the data to Excel for analysis.
New option to configure start and end dates in registration forms
This innovative feature ensures that attendees have a specific period during which they must register, and if they don't do so within that timeframe, they won't be able to register after it expires. This enhancement provides greater control over the registration process, allowing event organizers to more efficiently manage attendance and planning. By clearly outlining start and end dates, greater accountability is encouraged among participants to complete their registrations on time. Ultimately, this functionality contributes to a more structured registration experience and better event organization, ensuring that participants are properly enrolled within the established deadlines.
To access this function, navigate to the advanced options area of the event in the back office (Connect). Once there, go to the settings tab, where you'll find the addition of two new prominent fields: "Registration Start Date" and "Registration End Date."
New functionality to enable or disable registration with Captcha security
This new functionality will allow you to enable or disable the verification method to protect yourself from spam registrations. This method involves completing a simple test at the time of registration to prove that you're a human and not a computer attempting to gain access. The Captcha test, for your understanding, requires you to select the elements described in the image (traffic lights, cars, etc.), which you need to choose to confirm that you're not a computer.
To carry out the process, you need to log in to Eventtia using your access credentials. In the registration module, under the "Advanced Settings" option, you will find the specific field to activate or disable it.
New filter to search for checkpoints in the Check-in app
Now the Check-in app allows you to search your event checkpoints through filters, making it a fast and practical way to validate keywords or look for a specific checkpoint. We have also added the possibility of returning to the previous search (without losing this last filter) so that users can return to the visualization of this and continue validating their selection.
Organize participants from their registration date
Now besides choosing to organize participants from their name, last name, or company, you can manage them from their registration date, you decide if you want to see the more recent registrations first or the last. This can help your participants search for each other better.
New chat functionality for speakers in virtual activities

This module allows participants to submit the questions they have for the speakers in each session of the event, participants can also "like" the questions of most interest. In addition to this, in In-person events, you can avoid having a person walking around the room with a microphone to that attendees can ask their questions.

At Eventtia, we understand the importance of a correct presentation of your event’s information for your attendees and to avoid confusion, especially in the registration and payment of activities. That is why we have created the option of not showing past activities in the registration form, which have already happened according to the date on which an attendee is registering during the execution of your event. In this way, only present and future activities related to the current registration date will be visible in the Registration Form when your participant’s register.
However, past activities will be visible in the back office for control and administration of your event.

2. To make it easier to search for activities, we have added an option for you to filter an activity by its name or date.
Upgrades to the Virtual Stage
In search of providing a better experience for users and in the case of events and activities that have face-to-face, virtual and hybrid components, we have developed the following improvements:
We have launched a PWA (Progressive Web App) which allows users to have direct access from their smartphone to the content of their events. Additionally, once logged in with this PWA, they will be able to access the information last seen in offline mode (without internet).
Understanding the demand for hybrid formats, face-to-face and virtual, the platform will now allow you to customise your needs according to the type of event the client requires and this, in turn will allow for a better configuration and user experience.
We invite you to browse the platform and learn about these new features. If you have any doubt, we will be very attentive to guide you.

Sponsors Module: Registration for Activities
Sponsors want to keep track of the participants attending their activities. This can allow them to better prepare their presentation prior to the day of the event, in a way they can generate better engagement.
This is why we enabled a new feature which will let them set up a registration for their activities, as well as setting up a limit for the number of participants they want to host.
For this, they must go to their Sponsors Editor, create an activity, and at the bottom of the menu they will be able to activate or deactivate the registration feature. This way, participants will be able to register to these activities through the Virtual Stage.
Users: Permission to Activate/Deactivate Events
We understand that some organizations have quite a few users on their accounts. Such users have different roles and task for which they are responsible.
In order to better limit the roles and assignments the users on your account have, we added a new permission that allows admin users to limit who can activate or deactivate events.
To set up this permission, the admin user must go to the "Users" tab and look for the user whom you want to change permissions. Once you find said user, click on the three dots and click on "Edit", this will display the "Module Permissions" tab. Please click on it and in the dropdown menu select "Events". Finally, you will select or unselect the "Activate and deactivate" depending on your needs.
Reports: Completed Meetings
We understand that knowing how participants interact is a critical metric to measure how good the event was.
For this reason, we added a new report which will allow organizers to know which meeting actually took place and for how long did the participants interacted with each other.
Networking: Schedule More Than One Meeting with the Same Participant
Many times, participants engage in very good interactions with other participants, but they do not have the opportunity to meet again inside the Virtual Stage.
In order for participants to meet multiple times with the same participant, we have added the feature to limit the maximum number of meeting.
You can configure this by entering the Networking module and in the Actions menu by clicking on Advanced Settings.
Registration: Add Event to Calendar
Each organization is different from the others, that is why depending on their needs they will have different mail suites for their collaborators. For this reason, it is now possible to add your events to the participants' preferred calendar.
When they receive the welcome email, they just have to click on the "Add to Calendar" button and the different options will open.
Virtual Stage: Chat Emojis
Due to the fact that we want participants to be able to express their emotions in the best way, we have added an emojis' module in the chats of the Virtual Stage. This will generate more engagement and allow participants to show in a fun way how an event activity or a networking meeting has made them feel.
Virtual Stage: Create Channels Feature for Participants
One of the main objectives of event organizers is to generate engagement among the participants.
With this in mind, we have added a feature that allows participants to create their own channels to discuss and interact with each other.
For this, participants must go to their chats' module on the Virtual Stage, and there they will find the button "Create new channel". Participants will be able to create a discussion channel with a compelling title and description to generate interest among other participants.
Speakers: Delete Picture and Banner Button
We know that changes can happen at any time. This is why we have added a button that allows you to delete the image of the speaker or their banners to upload new ones.
Virtual Stage: Delete Images
In order to give our clients more flexibility, we have added buttons to delete all the images that can be set in the Virtual Stage.
To delete an image, you just have to go to the Virtual Stage settings, look for the image you want to delete and click on the button. Then all it takes is uploading a new image, and you are set.
Virtual Stage: Titles Colors
In order to better personalize events and improve attendees´ experience, we included a color selector for titles inside the Virtual stage. To access this feature, one must go to the Virtual Stage Settings > User Interface and choose between white, gray or black depending on the background image.
