Event status improvements

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Some small improvements for TDs entering their own events.

  • Before, when you created an event, the status was automatically set to Accepted, which meant your only option was to cancel it. Now, we’ve added the In Discussion status to this page.What this means is that if a planner wants you to hold a set of dates, you can enter the dates and set the event to In Discussion. To event planners your schedule will show “Tentative.” That way, everyone you can see you’ve pencilled in those dates, but you’re not committed until you change the status to Accepted. Other planners can still issue invites for those dates, and when the planner you blocked the dates for eventually sends a proper invitation, you can accept that one and cancel the first one.
  • Now instead of declining an event you entered yourself, you can just cancel it.
  • Canceled events are shown with lines through them and faded to indicate they’re not relevant events anymore.

What do you think? Should canceled events even be displayed at all? Or would you rather have the option to turn it on and off?

Also, caught a bug in the update event page where a date update would error out — this has been fixed.

Reassign events, minor fixes…

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Over the weekend we added the ability for an event planner admin user to reassign events from one planner to another, as well as some other minor enhancements: icons on the My Events page have been made bigger and nicer, and we’ve added pagination to the My Favorites list.

Keep those ideas coming!

Tell-A-Friend fixed, other email issues resolved

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

A change made under the hood to add some features to email functions broke the Tell-A-Friend tool as well as the support page. We’re very sorry if you tried to reach us via Contact Us and couldn’t. You can always get us at support(@)staffreservations.com if the contact form fails.

All’s fixed on this front again. Please let us know if you catch anything else.

Account management added, edit event revised

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Two new points of interest this week:

  • There’s a new button (and page) called My Account: you can update your name, your email, and your password here. You can also delete your account, but we sincerely hope you never use it. :)
  • We’ve revised the edit event feature. Before you could double click the name of the event and edit it right on the page, but not the dates. It was slick, but not so helpful. For self-created events (this really applies to TDs), planners can’t see the event names anyway, so editing the name wasn’t nearly as important as editing the dates. Getting all of that code into the existing page was proving to be thorny, so now there’s a separate edit event page.

    For TD’s click on the underlined program name to edit it’s information; event planners should click on the pencil icon to the right of the program name. Event Planners please note that changing the dates of the program does not change any existing invitations you have out there, regardless of invitation status. It’s just informational for you.

As always, please let us know via the contact form or via email (support (-at-) staffreservations.com) if you run into any problems with it!

Airports update

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Somehow we managed to omit two important airports from the profile list: John Wayne (SNA) and Tucson International (TUC). Sorry about that — must have been the Mountain Dew. These airports are now in the list; apologies to anyone who was inconvenienced.
