Trying to scan a badge code to test SwapAccess, print a badge using Swapcard Go, or generally just need to see a badge code in the form of a QR code? Organizers can now view badge codes as QR Codes within Studio. Here's how to find and view them:

Steps to view the QR code of a Badge Code:

1. Go to the People list in Studio.
2. Select an individual and navigate to Settings.
3. Scroll down to the Codes & Badges section at the bottom of the page.
4. Click on the generated code to view the QR Code.

Additionally, if the event uses Swapcard Registration, the QR code can now also be found in the "Registration" tab of a person, within the Registration Status section. By clicking on "View QR code" next to the individual's Confirmation Number, you can view the QR code.

The UI has been updated to display details and associated actions more clearly with the inclusion of the QR code in the registration section.

We are excited to announce an important update to our Studio platform: you can now set up Android applications directly within the Studio interface. This update streamlines the process of creating and managing your branded apps, allowing you to handle both iOS and Android setups in one place.

What's New?

As part of this update, we have added two new steps to the Android application setup process:

1. Add a Banner for the Play Store:
   You will now be prompted to upload a banner image that we will use for your app's Play Store listing. This ensures your app has a polished and professional appearance when users browse the Play Store. Make sure the banner meets the required dimensions and guidelines to avoid any delays in your app submission.
2. Share the Service Account Key:
   To enable us to manage your app's publishing and updates on the Play Store, you'll need to share your Service Account Key with us. This key provides the necessary permissions for us to handle your app's backend operations securely and efficiently. We have included detailed instructions within the Studio on how to generate and share this key.
   

We are excited to introduce a significant enhancement to our login process that streamlines access for both attendees and exhibitors.

Actually, when participants clicked on links from any emails sent by Swapcard, they are automatically logged into their accounts via magic links. However, a new procedure now applies when accessing the event app directly: participants will encounter a simplified login method.

Upon entering their email address, users will now have the option to continue with a password or opt for a one-time code sent to their email. This code allows users to log in without needing a password. Importantly, for users who have not set a password for their account, the one-time code will be sent automatically once they enter their email address.

This update aims to provide a faster, more secure login experience that adapts to the preferences of participants, especially onsite when logging into the mobile app.

Within the Exhibitor Center, exhibitors can now seamlessly access the Event App, enabling effortless networking with participants. This enhancement simplifies the networking process.

How does it work? 

From the Exhibitor Center Home page just click on the button "Access participants list", and you'll be redirected to the Event App on the Event Participants page.

In the Exhibitor Center, we've taken the contacts list to a whole new level. With our latest feature, Recommended Leads, you can seamlessly connect with potential clients who have interacted with your exhibitor. Once connected, you'll find these valuable contacts, complete with all their detailed information, conveniently organized in the Teams' Connections Dashboard.

Also, easily delegate account management by assigning specific contacts to team members, so everyone knows who is responsible for each relationship. 

Once the connection is made, don't forget to qualify your lead! All qualified leads and contacts are accessible to team members with the appropriate permissions, promoting collaboration and informed decision-making. 

Maximize your exhibition success with this powerful tool that simplifies and enhances your team's ability to manage and convert leads into long-term clients.

Networking is one of the most important aspects of any event, and we understand how crucial it is for our users to be able to connect and meet with others during the event. That's why we released this new feature that will make the networking process even easier and more seamless.

With this new feature, you can now directly connect with other attendees from the People page. No need to navigate through multiple pages or search for specific profiles, you can simply click on the "Connect" button next to the person's name and start networking in just a few clicks.

PS : This feature is only available on People pages defined as "list"

Organizers can export their Checkpoint data directly from Studio. With this export organizers can see the export the data for every person checked into a Checkpoint.

1. Log into Studio.
2. Go to Onsite -> Checkpoints.
3. Click 'Export' in the top right corner of the screen.
4. Choose to export data for 'All checkpoints' or by 'selected checkpoint,' and download your Excel report."

The download will include one record per person for each Checkpoint. The information accessible in the Studio checkpoint section, such as checkpoint details and attendee information will be part of the export.

A significant enhancement to our email targeting capabilities is now available: "Attendees of a session" targeting. This new feature lets you precisely target individuals registered for specific sessions, providing a tailored communication approach that enhances engagement and relevance.

Key Benefits of Session-Based Targeting:

1. Personalized Communication: Craft emails that directly address the interests and needs of registrants for particular sessions, increasing the likelihood of engagement.
2. Improved Engagement: By sending targeted content, you can foster deeper connections with your audience, leading to higher open and click-through rates.
3. Streamlined Campaigns: Simplify your marketing efforts by segmenting your audience based on their session registrations, ensuring that the right message reaches the right people at the right time.

When the Abandoned Registration feature is enabled, organizers can easily export a list of incomplete registrations from the people list. This allows them to track users who haven't finished registering, target them with emails encouraging them to complete their registration, and ultimately boost event attendance.

Similar to other exports from the people list, organizers can simply click on Export and select "Abandoned Registrations." The resulting download will include details only of users with incomplete registration forms.

As event organizers, it’s important to ensure attendees are able to engage with each other and maximize the networking opportunities. With the release of our new feature, attendees can now reschedule meetings with their peers on the web app. The mobile version is already on its way!

This feature is designed to make it easier for participants to make the most of their time at events, letting them adjust their schedules to make sure they don’t miss out on any key connections.

The ability to reschedule meetings also saves event organizers valuable time, as they don’t need to manually adjust participants’ agendas.

How does it work? 

For pending, confirmed, and canceled meetings, all participants will be able to reschedule from the Meeting details page on the web app (and soon on the mobile app). 

The participants simply have to click on "Reschedule meeting", and they will be able to select a new date, time slot, or location, if available and if the permissions allow it. 

Once the rescheduled action is over, all other participants will receive a new meeting request along with a new notification on web and mobile app. The old meeting will appear as 'rescheduled' and the link to the new meeting will be mentioned.
