Native App Updates
Agenda: Jump to Now
New app builds now include the ability to quickly jump to the session happening right now.
When users view the current day in the Agenda or My Schedule view, users can tap the Now button to scroll to the current time.
The Now button makes it easier to navigate large programs.
The Now button appears in the general Agenda and My Schedule lists if there are more than 15 sessions scheduled for that day.
Message: Replies to Gathering
New app builds now allow event organizers to enable or disable replies to event messages.
Messages sent to the event or gathering are a way for attendees to connect with event staff.
If organizers prefer to direct these inquiries through email or other channels, organizers can disable replies to the gathering.
This setting is available in the Messages feature settings.
CMS Updates
Announcements (formerly News)
The Announcements feature is now live in production.
The Announcements feature does not require a new app build to use it.
With added filtering options by scheduled session, participant type, and group terms, content managers can use Announcements as a one-way communication tool for important event information.
Each announcement can include an image that appears in the list.
Announcements can be scheduled ahead of time.
Announcements can be optionally sent with a push notification.
