We’re proud to announce a new update of our software. We have worked hard to simplify some advanced feature that are nonetheless very important for our user community.
First of all, there is a new way to activate and deactivate Indico features. The new feature selector will simplify event management and leave complexity to power users. In the future, most Indico advanced features will be toggled in this way. For now, only a couple of them (Surveys and the Image Uploader) can be managed.
The most important change in this release is a completely new version of the Survey feature (formely known as “Evaluation”).
Many new things were added, such as the possibility of having more than one survey per event, support for “sections” and a drag and drop interface.
Conference organizers will be happy to know we have also added drag and drop support for the menu editor. The layout settings of conferences are also now much simpler to work with.
The “Image manager” has also been reworked. Dragging and dropping of image files is now supported, in the same way that it is already possible for materials.
Another new interface that the conference managers will enjoy is the event layout management page. Adding a conference logo, editting the colours of the conference page and the rest of the existing features have now been polished with a brand new design.
As you may have noticed in the above images, several pages in Indico, such as the event management page, room booking as well as the category management page, have received a new menu layout, grouping menu items together based on their type, for a better and easier navigation.
We hope you will like this new release. We will be back soon with new things!
