Features and improvements

On-demand recordings

You can now link on-demand recordings within the detail page of a programme item. The Virtual room section is visible whenever the toggle Allow virtual or on-demand rooms
of the selected type is enabled in the data types.
Below Settings, select On-demand and then choose either Platform recording, if you want to select a recording you created earlier on our platform, or External to link to a URL elsewhere. When selecting a platform recording, you can choose between all pre-recordings, uploaded videos and session recordings that were created in this session. You can trim the beginning or the end of the recording, for example to link to only one presentation within a session. Press Save in the modal and then on the detail page at the top right to save your changes.

Data editors

• Besides linking existing items, you can now create new items directly from within an object page. Press the Create new button and enter the basic details of the programme item, person, institution, tag or place. After creating it, it's directly linked to the object you created it from.
  
  
• When there are no changes on an object detail page, the Save button is disabled. Before, it was enabled but not working when clicked.

Vote

Besides multiple-choice questions, you can now also add questions where your attendees can select more than one option. Just select the option Checkboxes when adding a Vote question on the virtual or non-virtual moderator dashboard.

In the app, users can then select one or more options on the Vote card before submitting their response. All answers are processed in the presentation screen.

Other

• On the Integrations page, in the table showing the results of your channel runs, you can now see the number of updates of a run. This includes the number of added, updated or deleted items.
  
• The Channel runs and Releases tables now show all import or release results instead of only the latest 20. You can browse through them by selecting a page at the bottom of the table.

Bug fixes

• When opening the channel logs on the Integrations page of one event, then leaving the event and opening the Integrations page of another event, the previous logs are no longer shown.
• The preview of invites as configured in Settings > Emails is working again.
• The pin position a places in the floor plan is now consistent between the studio and the mobile app.

Features and improvements

• On the web app, the footer in the About this platform page about Floq is now localized. When the app is for example in French, the footer is also displayed in French, instead of always in English.

Bug fixes

• The layout of list pages on the web app has been fixed. Before, there was an empty space right of the bookmark icon. Rows now fill the entire container.
• Portuguese captions are working again in the attendee dashboard.

Features and improvements

Scheduled jobs

If you have added a channel to your studio, you can now schedule a job in the Integrations page, tab Scheduled jobs. This means that at a date and time selected by you, the channel(s) you added will run and after that a release is made.

At the bottom of the (empty) table, click the button Add job. This will open the following modal.

Here you can set a name for the job, and you can set different options: if it should be a one-time job, or repeat hourly or daily. In the latter case, you can set the start and end time of the job. Please note that there are restrictions to this, to make sure that jobs are not running while not needed.

The results of the channel run in the Runs table on the Programme data sync tab, and that of the release in the Publish table.

Data editors & data types

• In the Tags table, items with just a colour or just an icon are now also showing this in front of their name. Before, the icon or circle would only be shown for items with a custom icon or those with a colour and icon. In teh screenshot below: 1. colour and icon, 2. icon only, 3. colour only, 4. custom icon.

• When you select another object below ‘Part of schedule’ (and not a Schedule type), the start date and end date are updated to that of the selected object and are locked. This prevents for example presentations to be accidentally created on another day than the session they belong to.

• When manually deleting an item to which another item references, a warning is shown that the item is referred to. After confirming, those references will be deleted. An example: when deleting a topic that is linked to a programme item, it is properly removed from the programme item. This is for both manual changes as those coming from a channel, though the latter will not show a warning.
• A warning is shown when trying to delete a Schedule or Role type to which objects are linked. The type can then not be deleted. A similar warning was already shown for the other categories.

Other

• The Files tab that was in the Channels side menu item, has been moved to the Images side menu item. This item has been renamed to File library.
  

Q&A

In the Q&A section in the virtual and non-virtual moderator dashboards, a few improvements were applied that make it easier to have a good overview over the incoming questions.

• On the non-virtual dashboard, where there's a lot of space, the visible and invisible questions are no longer distributed on different tabs, but appear in one list. This way you can more easily see how questions move from one section to the other. Since in the virtual dashboard there is less space, the tabs are kept there.
• Questions can be marked as answered. Answered questions are disabled and can be found at the bottom of the Invisible questions list.
  
• The automatic sorting of the visible questions has been updated. They are by default sorted on the time they were made visible, where the one made visible last is at the bottom. Additionally, they can be manually resorted by dragging them up or down. This same sorting is used in the mobile app, web app and on the presentation screen.
  

Bug fixes

• In the studio, page titles are now correctly applied when creating an event from a template.
• What turning on the Check in feature, the list of checkins is now correctly displayed on the web app. Before, the list remained empt even though you were checked in to items.
• The web vote URL is now responsive: on small screens the options are displayed below each other instead of in 2 columns.
