New Feature: Customizable Submission Labels

If you are one of the growing number of organizations using ProposalSpace for managing award nominations, you might not have cared for the term “proposal” we use throughout the site (for example, “Start a Proposal” or “Edit Proposal”).

Well, good news. Now you can customize the term. The default is still “proposal”, but you can change it to “nomination”, “abstract”, “idea”, or anything else that fits your needs. Just pull up the call and look in the General Settings page for a field called Submission Type.

Data Export Improvements

Our Data Export feature now has an option to limit reports to certain types of proposals. This means call administrators no longer have to weed out unwanted proposals after generating a report. Now, you can just pick the status(es) you want to include.

Next up: The ability to select specific items from the submission and role forms.

New Feature: Scheduling Module

One of the most critical tasks for any conference organizer is building the session schedule. Not only do you have to figure out how to arrange the sessions so they tell a story, you also have to make sure you don’t put someone in two places at the same time.

Unfortunately, we can’t help you with the story-telling part (at least not yet). We can, however, help you easily check for scheduling conflicts with our new drag-and-drop Scheduling Module.

Where Is My Logout Button?  

Some of you may have noticed some changes to the design of the site. We’ve been working on new features and needed a little extra “real estate” in order to keep things from becoming overcrowded. Plus, the average size of monitors (even on laptops) has continued to increase, so why leave all that extra white space unused?

New Feature: Session Publishing  

Our new Publishing Module lets you publish your conference’s session information—including supporting materials—on any website.

Conference organizers can:

  • Assign dates, times and locations to sessions.
  • Select which information gets displayed for each session and for each person in the session.
  • Embed the session information in any website with a single line of code.

Authors can:

  • Attach documents to their sessions for attendees to download.

Attendees can:

  • Search for sessions by keyword.
  • Sort sessions by title, date/time, and location.

The best part? Any change you make in ProposalSpace shows up immediately on your website.
