Product Update: Permissions Alerts, Giveaway Questions, Repeating Reminders & More

Our biweekly Product Updates give you a rundown of all the features and bug fixes that are being deployed - plus one handy tip of the week.

Dev is deploying some new updates before the end of the week. Here's what's coming:

Permissions Alerts

Users who do not have 'Event Editor' permissions will see an error message when they click the 'Add Event' button.

Prior to this update, users who lacked the requisite permissions to add events were still allowed to fill out the entire 'Add Event' form - and only saw an error message when clicking to save all of the event information that they had just entered (and were about to lose).

Giveaway Questions

We've consolidated Radmin's 'Pick Winners' screen to include the answers to giveaway questions - so that you don't have to export the event's votes to see them.

Repeating Reminders

Many repeating events (especially happy hours) are created with arbitrary 'repeat until' dates that are so far into the future that it’s easy for metros to forget about these events ever 'ending'. These reminder emails will help inform your team about which repeating events are about to expire - in case you would like to extend their running dates or make changes to the event info.

Bug Fixes

We fixed a bug that was hampering the speed with which upcoming events were displayed when switching days on category shortcuts. We also fixed a bug caused by invalid birthdates and made sure that HazDF's co-reg invitations were appearing in Spanish.

Tip Of The Week

Did you know that the home pages of your desktop site (DoXYZ.com) and app ("The Best") are both shortcuts? Did you know that they function in the same way as your other category shortcuts?

Metros have used this to their advantage by excluding less cool and off-brand categories such as film listings, tech meet-ups and fitness classes from their home pages.

Head over to Radmin -> Content -> Shortcuts and select the "What To Do" shortcut to edit your desktop homepage - and Radmin -> Mobile -> Shortcuts -> "The Best" for your app home page.
