Release 11.02.0.0 - Condor

General

The project titled “Condor“ was initiated to take care of the differences in navigation and appearance throughout the system that evolved due to many years of development. The primary goals were defined as:

1. Unified navigation for easier access to all areas

2. Less complex setups while maintaining functionalities

3. Unified appearance and refactored components

4. Mobile friendly where complexity allows it
   
   

Looking at the general structure of each module (user, helpdesk, tools and setup), this has the following impact:

• On setup screens, most important items were combined into areas. Special features moved to advanced areas.

• On Helpdesk screens, the layout of lists was unified and the most common features got more space.

• Tools (Exports, Statistics…) were updated to the new design.

• User modules are not affected in functionality. Slight adaptations were needed to match the new styling, other changes listed below.

Major changes

Navigation

The former navigation to the modules (blue icons) was moved to the side to a context sensitive, responsive navigation component. It adapts to the current context (Event, Company, Exhibition, Membership) and scales itself to the screen size (mobile, tablet, desktop, large desktop). The different “Topics“ are color coded:

Programme - Abstract, Programme, Presentations

Registration - Registration, Group Registration, Certificates,

Tools - Application, Onsite, Print

Administrative - Mail, Administration

Exhibition - Exhibition

Event Dashboard

Open The new event dashboard

Shortcuts to the most common administrative screens were added, depending on the active user modules. This is only visible for users with a role > Eventmanager.

The dashboard modules got a refined default appearance with only one UI text to be changed. UI texts for the dashboard texts are now in the desktopV2 set. We support fontawesome throughout the system if you are looking to include other icons.

Last 5 Events

Quick access to the last five events and the related event were combined into one control.

Switch to another company

Managing many companies is now a lot easier as you can switch between them more quickly.

Event setup

The event setup was rearranged to make the most important settings more obvious. The wording was adapted and unified ( e.g. Desktop & Logo → Dashboard). The input setup was rearranged to make the different types more clear (Roles, Addresses, Modules…).

Abstracts

Setup

The order of the items was rearranged and step related settings on the basic settings were moved to the “wizard”-tab. A very basic introduction was added here as in programme and ticket setup.

Submission

The appearance of the wizard was slightly changed, especially the „todo list“ was moved to the top into a dropdown list.

Review

Setup

The “Classic“ review mode was removed completely. All new events already have the “Metadata“-mode by default set.

Registration

Setup

The screens related to group registration were moved to their own group “Group registration“.

“Ticket Setup” contains every option that has impact on the ticket price, like the “VAT Matrix” and “Discount Codes”. We added an introduction to give new users a guide what to as a minimum requirement.

Templates

The upload of templates for registration was regrouped and put into tabs for each type: “Invoice & Cancellation“, “Receipts, Reminders & 3rd Party“ and “Onsite Pick-up documents“.

Helpdesk

The tab “Orders“ and “Group Orders“ got a major UI rehaul. The option to cancel an order is directly accessible without expending the order. For each list of orders a search is available now.

Programme

All of the major lists in the system got a unified, lean and focused appearance.

The session details were rearranged to allow a better overview of the settings. The most common settings are put together, we added one “Advanced VMX” panel for features like “Playlist, On-demand delay etc.“ here.

Invitation Setup

The templates for the programme invitations are no longer located under Programme → Templates, but directly in the invitation Setup → Templates

Exhibition

Setup

A dedicated webshop setup for booth, symposia and sponsorship items was added

Helpdesk

TBA

Company area

Access to membership and events was unified and former manage profile helpdesks were integrated. The navigation in the company areas has the same appearance as on e.g. the event context.

Membership

Setup

Especially the membership setup was reduced to the most common settings. All special solutions or side cases were either combined logically or moved to “Advanced“ - areas.

Compatibility

Condor was tested and designed for the current common browsers and combinations of Operating Systems:

Windows 10,11: Microsoft Edge (Trident & Chromium), Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera GX, Brave

Mac OS 11, 12, 13: Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox

iOS 15, 16: Apple Safari, Google Chrome

Android 12, 13: Google Chrome

Suggested mobile devices: iPhone newer than 6 Plus, iPad newer than iPad Generation 6

For the most common administrative screens we suggest a Full-HD 1920x1080 resolution or mobile & tablet in landscape orientation. Lower resolutions are supported, but can cause scrolling of the content. Higher resolutions benefit from the new UI.
