Studio empowers organizers to initiate credit card refunds without having to leave Studio – streamlining the process and reducing the stress of using multiple tools.

How this feature will function?

When organizers access an individual registration record, they can opt to issue a full or partial refund of a valid credit card transaction. Cancellations and ticket downgrades can easily be accommodated. With the flexibility to issue full or partial refunds and it is easy to accommodate cancellations and ticket changes. In the case of a full refund, the entire transaction sum will be reimbursed to the original payment method. For partial refunds, organizers can specify the refunded amount (not surpassing the initial transaction value).

Organizers have the opportunity to thoroughly examine the refund before finalizing it. Once confirmed and processed, the refund will promptly appear in the individual's transaction history within Studio.

Invoices and credit statements will still need to be issued from Stripe. Stay connected for additional enhancements similar to this one that are on the horizon.

We are excited to announce a major improvement to our Expo FP Floor Plan integration.

The new native floor plan implementation also allows for seamless integration with the app. This integration makes it more convenient for our users to manage their experience on-site because it allows for actions to be linked directly to the app such as the redirection to any exhibitor from the map. No more switching between screens - everything you need is now just a tap away.

1. Seamless App Integration: Enjoy the convenience of a fully integrated experience. The map now works directly within the app, allowing you to interact with it without needing to switch screens. Actions like redirecting to an exhibitor’s page can now be done with a single tap.
2. Bookmarking exhibitors: The bookmark of exhibitors from the detail page or the map is now available and synced on both ends.
3. Redirection from Session Pages: Easily navigate from a session page directly to the map. If you're attending a session, you can now quickly locate the session's venue on the map, streamlining your on-site experience.

What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication process that allows users to access multiple applications with one set of login credentials. It streamlines the login experience, enhances security, and reduces the hassle of remembering multiple passwords.

Introducing Our New SSO Management Feature

We are excited to announce our new SSO management feature, designed to give event organizers more control and flexibility over their attendee authentication process. This feature allows organizers to define a custom SSO for attendees joining their app. Here’s how it works:

Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing Custom SSO

1. Access the Studio

Begin by logging into the Studio.

2. Navigate to the Application Tab

Once logged in, find the application tab located in the main menu. This is where you will manage the settings for your event app.

3. Manage SSO Settings

In the application tab, you will find the SSO management section. Here, you can:

• Set up new SSO providers
• Manage existing configurations

4. Customize Error Messages

One of the unique advantages of our new SSO feature is the ability to customize error messages. Organizers can tailor these messages to provide clear guidance and support for attendees encountering authentication issues.

Why Use Custom SSO?

Implementing a custom SSO provides several benefits:

• Enhanced User Experience: Attendees can access the event app with ease, using a single set of credentials.
• Increased Security: SSO reduces the risk of password-related breaches by minimizing the number of passwords users need to manage.
• Efficient Management: Event organizers can manage and configure authentication settings to align with their specific needs.

The Ticket Listing page in Studio has been enhanced with the following improvements:

Welcome Page for No Tickets
A new welcome page has been introduced for instances where no tickets are available, providing organizers with helpful information and guidance on creating tickets.
To create tickets, organizers must first enable Swapcard Registration. Once this is enabled, they can proceed with ticket creation for their event.

Ticket Table Overview
After tickets are created, they will be displayed in a table with the following details: Ticket Name, Status, Price, Usage (new feature: shows how many tickets have been used and how many remain), Valid From Date, Valid Until Date, Group, Visibility

Ticket Usage Feature
A key addition is the ticket usage feature, which gives organizers clear visibility into the number of tickets sold versus the total available. This helps streamline event management by providing real-time insights into ticket sales and availability.

Customizable Ticket Order
Organizers can reorder tickets using a drag-and-drop feature. The order in Studio will mirror the order displayed on the registration form for users.

Managing onsite meetings at exhibitions just got easier with our new "Filter Locations by Category" feature. Now, you can quickly find meeting spaces by selecting specific categories, like conference rooms or networking lounges, rather than scrolling through endless lists of locations. 

Event planners and onsite teams can now coordinate meetings more precisely, ensuring every session happens at the right place and time.

The filter functionality allows users to select a specific location category, whether it be a type of room or area within the venue, and immediately see a list of relevant spaces. This reduces time spent searching for meeting spots, freeing up time to focus on meaningful interactions and event participation.
