Release notes 8.0

Features and improvements

Host dashboard

• A switch is added with which the host can choose to use the PDF that she uploaded in the live meeting or not. If this is off, the PDF is only used for the on-demand poster room. If it's on, it's also presented to participants when the live meeting is started. 
• When you are on the Participant tab in the host dashboard and the room is still closed, or the room is open but there are no participants yet, a card is added that explains this.
• When a host is not allowed to upload a file, the text 'Uploading your own file is not allowed as it will be uploaded by the organizer.' is updated to 'Uploading a file is only available when enabled by the organizer.', since not all organizers will upload a file.

Access restriction

• When an event is restricted with a password, the sign-in background is shown behind this Enter password modal, instead of a grey background.
• External virtual rooms can now be restricted to signed-in users only. This feature was already available for the mobile app since March 2022, and is now supported by the web app too.
• Instead of as a small toast at the bottom, the messages that you do not have access to enter a room or to view a page, is displayed as a modal.

Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions

Links to the Cookie Policy, Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy have been added in the About this platform page on web app. In the create account and sign in modals, the link to the Cookie Policy and Terms and Conditions were added; the Privacy Policy link was there already. Additionally, a modal is shown where you have to accept cookies when you open the web app for the first time, since the platform cannot function without them.

Floq Studio

• A link to the support portal is added at the top right in Floq Studio, next to the account name.
• In the Event settings, on the tab Emails, the tooltip that is shown when hovering over App store ID is updated with the new App Store link.
• An item About this platform is added to the profile dropdown top right, with links to the Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. By creating an account and signing in to your studio, you are agreeing to them as well.

Other

• If screen size allows, a text Filter is added next to the filter icon on the daily programme page to make it more explicit that the button can be used to narrow down the programme.
• Lists can now be grouped by classifier. In the studio, you can select what classifier type to group the list on. All items then appear in the same list, but are grouped by the classifiers of the selected type. This is supported for both the web and mobile app.
• Links to the Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy and Terms of Use are added to the modals when creating an account or signing in. By doing so, you are agreeing to these policies.

Bug fixes

Floq Studio

• When importing a programme via Excel, where places are linked to sessions, and re-importing while replacing the linked places, the new places are now correctly updated in the web and mobile app.
• The mobile app no longer crashes if a person that is linked to another object, such as a programme item, is deleted.
• When you have added an external link for on-demand recordings, and then change the link to built-in recording, the built-in recording is displayed. Before, the link to the external recording would be kept.

Host dashboard

• When in the configurator the button Off/Virtual room/On-demand recording is set to Off or Virtual room and the room type is not set in Virtual & Interactivity, the link to the Poster/slides PDF on the Resources tab now opens the PDF file instead of the on-demand room. 
• In the Attendees tab, the uploaded PDF is now also shown. Before, you would only see the camera stream.

Other

• When hovering over the buttons in the sign-in modal, they now change to a 'hand' pointer in the whole button. Before, it would remain an arrow on the button text.
• On the web app, presentations now also appear in My Programme. Before, only sessions were shown there.
