EventsPass Portal – Changelog
- Event Organizers will only have the option to edit the registration form without setting it as inactive. With the recent addition of deleting form fields, setting the registration form inactive is no longer needed, and it has been removed.
- We have added four new report extracts to the Ticket Sales > Actions Menu:
- Added new Settlement Extract, containing data specific to payment gateway details.
- Added new Ticket Options Details Extract containing data specific to Ticket Options ordered.
- Added new Transaction Details Extract containing data of all transactions.
- Added new Transaction Summary Extract containing key details of all transactions.
- QuickCart URL and QR Code will now be generated at the time of creating a new individual ticket.
- The Start New Import Button has been moved to the top of the page instead of the bottom, so that it’s accessible without scrolling all the way to the bottom of the page.
- The invoice for LeadGen purchases will now be attached to the “Your LeadGen package is now active” email sent to Exhibitors upon purchasing a package.
- ‘CAC URL’ for Approved attendees and ‘Order Status’ is now available in the ‘Verification Links Extract’
- For badge printing using the CheckIn app, event Organizers can now map up to seven custom questions of type ‘Single Line Text ‘, ‘Single Select Dropdown’ and ‘Radio Button’ from the Registration Form (previously the maximum was two fields, using only single line text fields)
- Event Organizers will be able to allow the attendees to order tickets using the ‘QuickCart’ URL if enabled for an event. 1 ticket (individual ticket type) will be automatically added to the cart and the user will land on the options selection/registration page on the checkout flow.
- The ticket ‘Vetting’ functionality has now been labeled within the platform to better distinguish the functionality from the ‘Verification’ functionality
- Ticket Vetting: Multiple ‘Processed’ files were being generated in Dropbox if the vetting outcome is not an exact match with ‘Approved’ or ‘Rejected’, the vetting automation will now skip the record and show it again as ‘Pending’ in the new file.
- Resolved the issue with ‘display rules’ on registration & verification forms where the display rule was not cleared if the answer for the parent questions was changed.
- Defect fix: Fixed the issue with mobile number length during checkout where closing the error message for an invalid message was not highlighting the field.
- Event Organizers (EO) are now able to delete Badge Templates from “Design”. If the deleted badge template is linked with Ticket Type(s), it will be unlinked and the Ticket will be printed using the Template selected in CheckIn App. If no other Badge Template exists, Badge Printing will fail.
- Added instructions/help text for Event Organizers on the ‘Badge Template’ modal and ‘Badge Print Configuration’ section on the Ticket Type details to setup Badge Printing.
- Defect Fix: ‘Location Type’ stays the same while adding multiple scanning locations.
- Several other bug fixes
- Event organizers can now configure whether an existing registration question is shown or hidden
- Updated the Scan Mode names on the ‘Device Activity’ & ‘View Attendees’ screen for clarity
- Updated the ‘Scan Mode Description’ in the ‘All Scans’ report for clarity
- When importing exhibitors, event organizers can now configure the ‘default limit’ for the associated tickets/credentials (where a quantity is not specified for an exhibitor being imported):
~ Limit Access Enabled: If the ‘Quantity for Ticket Type’ is left empty in the CSV file, the Exhibitors will not have the ability to order that ticket/credential type
~ Limit Access Disabled: If the ‘Quantity for Ticket Type’ is left empty in the CSV file, the Exhibitors will be able to order unlimited quantities of that ticket/credential type
- When updating the custom fields on a ticket for badge printing, the badge will now update the across the board, and will now be immediately reflected in the checkin app for printing, after a complete refresh or restart of the app.
- Event organizer accounts will be able to show/hide the fields on the “Verification Form” from the “field setting” option. Attendees will not be able to view and enter details for the fields set as “hidden” on the Verification Form.
- Updates to UI, logic, and text for the the Attendee Upload process.
- Event organizer accounts can now update the Promo Code instructional text via the ‘Manage Event → More Information’ menu. This instructional text appears on the modal where the customer types in their promo code.
- Minor cosmetic adjustments.
- Updated the text of the Password Reset Tool, to avoid confusion with changing passwords.
- When using Ticket Options, organizers are now able to view the amount of applicable taxes within the pricing structure of the Ticket Option.

- LiveChat will now be enabled by default for all logged-in LeadGen app users, enabling faster customer support pre-show and on show days.

- Expand First: Expands only the first Ticket Options, and collapses the rest. Users may click the accordion to show the options available to buy.
- The “Choose Your Ticket” display text is now customizable. This modal displays when users are required to register only one ticket for checkout.
- When importing an exhibitor, if an exhibitor already has an attendee account, the import will skip over the account instead of throwing an error.
- Added event “short-name” for use in SMS messaging where long names could make text messages hard to read.
