Release Notes 06/27/2025

This release enhances formula fields to support date calculations and Borda-count reviews, adds robust PDF export capabilities, and introduces powerful new “Customize View” tracking for both submissions and speakers. It also fixes UI bugs in profile windows and QR-scanner navigation.

New Features

Enhanced Formula Fields:

Formula fields now support date‐range calculations and can be used within Borda-count review forms, enabling time-difference metrics and advanced scoring methods.
For example: Imagine you want to automatically score submissions based on how early they were submitted relative to a deadline. Earlier submissions receive a higher Borda weight.

1. { "if": [ {
       "<": [ { "var": "submission_date" }, { "-": [ { "var": "now" }, 604800000 ] } ] 
     }, 5, { "if": [
               { 
                 "<": [ { "var": "submission_date" }, { "-": [ { "var": "now" }, 259200000 ] } ]
               }, 3, 1
             ]
         }
      ]
   }

What It Does:

• Checks if the submission is older than 7 days (604800000 ms):

  • If true → assign score 5 (Borda weight)
    

  • If it’s between 3–7 days → assign 3
    

  • If less than 3 days → assign 1
    

Submission PDF Export:

End users can generate PDF printouts of their completed submissions.

These exports use the configured admin template to ensure consistent styling and branding.

Customize View - Cross-Call Submission Tracking:

Administrators can now add custom columns to the submissions table to track related submissions by the same author across different calls.

Each column displays shortlinks to the matched submissions, streamlining multi-program follow-up workflows. 

Multiple tracking columns can be configured for different calls.

Customize View - Speaker Submission Tracking:

When setting up a speaker workflow, admins can link a call to an event and designate its form as the official speaker form. This allows the Event's Speakers module to display a new column  that reflects each speaker’s submission status. It becomes especially useful for processes like collecting signed contracts or disclosures.

Admins can quickly filter speakers based on whether they have completed the form and send targeted emails. On the call side, the same tools are available to track responses and manage follow-up like the option to build  custom reports using submission data. Additionally, both admins and submitters can now download a copy of the completed submission as a PDF using the Submission PDF Export option metioned above, which is helpful for sharing or archiving signed forms.
