August Release Notes

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new Workspace Calendar, a feature designed to revolutionize the way you manage your business on Occasion. After months of dedicated work from our engineering and product teams, we are excited to share the enhancements and new functionalities that will save you time and streamline your operations.

Key Features of the New Workspace Calendar

1. Speed and Efficiency

The new calendar is built on modern technologies designed for 2024 and beyond, making it incredibly fast. This upgrade significantly reduces the number of unnecessary clicks and the time spent on repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus more on your business.

2. User-Friendly Interface

The redesigned calendar is intuitive and easy to navigate. It offers three new views: List, Weekly, and Monthly, each providing clear and concise information at your fingertips. Whether you are on a desktop or a mobile device, the new calendar adapts seamlessly, ensuring you can manage your schedule on the go.

3. Enhanced Mobile Access

Understanding the need for mobility, we have optimized the calendar for mobile devices. This means you can access and manage your calendar from anywhere, and we are working towards converting this into a mobile app for even greater convenience.

4. Comprehensive Event Details

The new calendar provides detailed insights into your events, including the number of seats sold, revenue generated, customer details, and payment statuses. This information is readily available without the need to run separate reports.

5. Improved Roster Management

Preparing for events has never been easier. The new roster feature allows you to see all attendee details, including custom questions, add-ons purchased, and guardian information, in one click. You can also print or download the roster as needed.

6. Efficient Communication Tools

Communicating with your customers is crucial. The new calendar includes features for sending text messages and emails directly from the event page. You can also view the history of all communications sent to ensure you don’t repeat messages.

7. Invoicing Capabilities

We are introducing an invoicing feature that allows you to edit invoice items, add new items, and charge customers' credit cards on file. This feature will be integrated into the quick order process, making it easier to manage private events and other special bookings.

8. Customizable Printing Options

To reduce paper usage, we have added the ability to customize which sections of the roster you want to print. This ensures you only print what is necessary, saving both paper and ink.

9. Future Enhancements

We are continuously working on adding new features, such as WhatsApp integration for global communication and an online attendance checklist to streamline check-ins.
