Product Update (Thanksgiving Edition): New Dupes Queue, RSVPs +1 Fixed, and More!

Our regular Product Updates give you a rundown of the features and bug fixes that were rolled out over the past week, plus a look ahead to some of the bigger changes that are on the way.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the U.S., so most of you are probably working hard to get you site in order for the holiday or getting your turkeys ready to put in the oven tomorrow morning.

While you’re getting your last-minute preparations in order, check out the latest from the Product team!

Redesigned Dupes Queue

As most content managers have noticed by now, the Duplicates Queue got a bit of facelift to help you move through Events even faster.

When we built Radmin, we wanted to make sure we created a dupes queue that was easier to understand than the jumbled mess in the old Admin. 

Instead of a long, continuous list of Events, we added color coding in Radmin to help you identify what was an original and what was a duplicate. The decision to add one match per page, though, slowed down work and made it difficult to gauge how many dupes you were dealing with.

Now, your Duplicates Queue shows 20 matches per page -- clearly marked and color coded -- to bring more speed to your morning workflow.

RSVP +1 Added to Radmin

In old Admin, there was an option to add a “+1” to an RSVP, but when we moved over to Radmin this was not added. To add frustration, you could still get the “+1?” box to show up on the front-end through Admin -- but it didn’t actually work.

After hearing that this broken feature was causing confusion among your teams and with your partners, we set about rebuilding +1’s for the new system.

Now live in Radmin, you can check the “RSVP +1?” box to let users record +1’s when they RSVP through the front-end. This is a great option to offer to RSVP partners that have limited capacity and want to get clear estimates on head-count.


When you send the Guestlist to a partner that used the RSVP +1 option, there will be “+1” next to the name of anyone that checked the box.

The Other Bits

Before you run out to the store to grab the last can of cranberry sauce, here are the other important updates that went live this week:
  • Targeted Ads Are Live: The Lens-specific ad targeting feature previewed in last week's update is now live!
  • Pending Queue Edits: We tweaked the look of the Pending Queue when you're editing Event titles. Now a small modal pops up when you're editing titles to reduce jumpiness and improve the overall UI of the Queue.
  • New ECP Co-Reg Reporting Bug Fixed: Some of your newer ECPs weren't showing up in the co-reg reports in Radmin. This bug is fixed so your co-reg reports are now accurate.
  • Reordered Front-end Search Results: We re-ordered the search results tabs on the front-end to match other parts of the site. The tabs are now ordered: "All, Events, Venues, Artists, Influencers/Lists, Articles".
Have a happy Thanksgiving!
