Obvio Updates

  • Dashboard Editor Updates (2:00)
    • All items need to be saved in their dialog boxes, this allows for multiple tabs to be open at the same time. When a change is made in one open instance of the editor, all others will update automatically within a few seconds. 
    • IMPORTANT - If two people are editing the same element (post, button, etc) at the same time, the last person to click save will be the change people see. 
  • Room Registration (19:15 - 26:00)
    • At the room level, within areas, you can now generate public links. 
    • Remember - these links can be used by whoever has them, so be careful with how you publish them. They're meant for team members who don't have Obvio admin access, or for guest speakers, or other people who need access to a specific room (sponsors), without having dashboard or obvio access. 
    • With this feature, we no long need to uncheck "require registration" to allow access to a zoom room via a link.
    • People using this link will no longer need to fill out the Zoom registration page, instead they will register with Obvio and be taken directly into the room. (20:20)
    • Their name in Zoom will be whatever they enter on the Obvio room registration page. If these are members of the event staff, it may be nice to have them name themselves first name last name - TEAM. (21:15)
    • Anyone who uses this link will be registered as an attendee and automatically be given the tag "Room Registration" - this works regardless of CRM. (shown at 22:05)
  • Form Export (12:30)
    • When you request a form export, you'll receive an email with a download link when the link is ready for you.
    • This is to accommodate larger events. The system needs time to process larger amounts of data. 
  • Form Question Re-Order (12:00)
    • You can now drag and drop questions within a form to re-order. Don't forget to click save once the editing is done.
  • Leaderboard Page Optimization 
    • The leaderboard loads within a few seconds.
  • Global Styles 
    • In the general tab, there are options to define your default text color, as well as your default link color. You can also define whether or not links are underlined or not. This replaces the "Dark Mode" toggle that we had previously. 
  • Post Styles (15:40)
    • On the dashboard, there is a new dialog box to allow you to define post style. This includes Title Font Size, Body Font Size, Title Color, Body Color, and a few other options. 
    • Note - These settings apply to ALL blog posts created for a specific event.
  • Attendee Export Functionality (50:00)
    • Ability to export attendees per area. This will export a list of attendees who have joined that specific area at some point during your event.
    • Ability to export attendees per room. This will allow you to export a list of attendees who joined a specific room.
    • Exciting News! When exporting attendees, both from the Area and Room level, as well as from the Attendees tab, the resulting export now includes all Groups and Tags that are stored in Obvio. The exports all also include the Login URL for attendees, as well as their signed waiver link.
  • Localization (36:50)
    • Ability to import language translations to the localization tab, via an Excel file or CSV file. 
    • Obvio does not provide the translation. 
    • Re-importing the same file will update the existing content. 
    • Important: Files must be a specific format...
      • First row includes: language names, as well as the column "key" in the the first column.  
      • Row for each key value, with the corresponding data across each language.
      • When you import a language file, existing key entries will be updated, and new key entries will be created. Key entries that were in existence, but not included in your import file will be unaffected.
  • Date and time function inside the agenda and blog posts. (39:00)
    • The system will recognize the language the computer is using and automatically update the time and date. 
  • Permissions for team members (42:00)
    • Check in attendees will only give access to the area that is assigned to tech check. 
  • Duplicate forms (43:30)
    • Can now duplicate a form with one click. See below for example.
undefined
  • By clicking the blue pages icon, a form is duplicated. The name of the duplicated form will be "Copy - name of orginal form". This is editable by clicking on the duplicated form and making any necessary changes. 
  • New Template - panels template walk through (45:00) - coming soon

Q+A begins at 55:55

  • Inserting forms into blog posts (demo 56:00)
    • Create your form in the forms tab of Obvio. 
    • Create a blog post on the dashboard. 
    • Insert the form you created into the dashboard by selecting it from the forms drop down menu located inside the blog post. 
    • Go to forms, locate the specific form, and click "download submissions" to aquire your attendee's responses. 
  • Leaderboard (1:00:00)
    • Leaderboard will default to first name, last name that is registered in Obvio. 
    • Working on updates to load the leaderboard much quicker. 
  • Areas (1:03:30)
    • Creating multiple areas means you are creating multiple places for attendees to go. These are like separate ballrooms at an in-person event. 
      • Example: Main Stage versus Help Desk 
    • Rooms are different sections within an area. 
      • Rooms are physical Zoom rooms, these live underneath areas. 
  • Start and end time for events are in YOUR time zone. (1:05:00)
  • Icons next to words in buttons (1:06:45)
    • Must search for the icon you want. The drop down menu will not autogenerate. 
    • 1,700 different icon options. 
    • Must select a text color to define the color of the icon. 
    • The icon will appear in the same color as your text color, as long as text color is defined. Otherwise, icons will appear in black if text color is not defined.
