Simplified Event Lookups

New Simplified Filter on Find Events - The Find Events filter is now simplified to only show the fields used most for searching, Organization, Contact, and Room.

More Tools for Working with Organizations in Mazévo

There are now many more ways to make it easier to work with your organizations and customers in Mazévo.

Add a Contact - There is a new add a contact function available while working with organizations. Previously you could assign an existing contact to an organization, but if you wanted to add a brand new contact, you needed to go to another page. You can now do this all from one place.

Fixed a problem with the Mazévo Course Importer that allowed you to import courses with no Academic Statuses defined.

With this update, there are several changes to Mazévo's messaging functions. Many of these changes are behind the scenes, but they are laying the foundation for additional messaging capabilities down the road. However, here are some highlights that you will see.

New Bell (Alert) Icon. Event planners are now alerted to new messages in real-time through the new bell icon at the top of every page. Previously they would have had to visit the Day At A Glance page to check for new messages.

Event planners can now send messages to other event planners through Mazévo. Previously event planners could only send messages to requesters. 

Requesters can now send messages from the web. This capability was previously limited to those using the Mazévo mobile ap.

What Else Has Changed

New filter by role option for Mazévo user accounts Want to see a list of all event planners? How about a list of all your Mazévo ops users? You can now filter your list of users by role for quick identification. 

What's Fixed

This update squashes several bugs, including an error when sending confirmations to specific bookings. In some cases, the link to the confirmation would not be sent correctly.  

With this release, Mazévo Ops get some new features, and there are new ways to view event information for those making requests as well as a public calendar view.

Mazévo Ops, New Work Items Feature - Mazévo Ops already provides an easy way to deliver event details to your setup staff via their phones. With this update, you can now deliver other non-event-related tasks to them as well. They can mark these tasks as completed and add notes, just like event-related tasks. 

Attach Photos to Work in Mazévo Ops - When your staff is setting up or cleaning up after an event, they now have a way to capture photos and log those as part of the activity. The images and any notes are viewable by managers within Mazévo. 

Mazévo Ops, New Work Log - The Work Log allows you to see the status of all work items in Mazévo. You can see who performed the setup and when it was started, completed, and view any notes and pictures submitted with the work. 

New Event Book for Requestors - Those making requests for events in Mazévo now have access to the Event Book to view space availability before the begin making a request. The event book will only display room availability and will not show any details about the event like the event name or who booked the space. 

New Public Event Calendar View - Mazévo's public list of events now includes a monthly calendar to view all public events. 

New Icons for Room Setups and Service Providers - Mazévo displays icons for service providers and room setups throughout the system. You now have three new icons to choose from for your service providers, notes, miscellaneous, and other. 

There are also two new icons to choose from for room setup. 

New Change Date Tool - If you need to change the date of multiple bookings simultaneously, Mazévo now lets you change all the bookings to a specific date. Previously you could only move the bookings forward or backward a specific number of days, weeks, months.

What's Fixed

• Using your browser's zoom control on the Add New Event page in Mazévo would make the calendar date picker display incorrectly.
• When creating a resource with no resource grouping, you can now enter the inventory for that resource.
• Disabled contacts were showing in the list of active contacts when you tried to send a confirmation.
• Some people were having trouble adding more than one confirmation template. This is now fixed.

Accessibility 

Software that is accessible for everyone, including those with disabilities, is not only good business; it is also required for many organizations. Many of the accessibility improvements in this release will not be visible under normal conditions. However, if you use assistive technology such as screen readers or alternative input devices, these changes will make how you work with Mazévo easier. 

New Shortcut for Adding Setup Diagrams to Bookings

Previously adding a room diagram to a booking meant you would have to navigate through multiple windows to add the diagram. Yes. We admit it was relatively hidden. Now you can add the setup diagram directly from the Event Editor and clicking "Change Setup Diagram" under the change bookings menu.

Various Bug Fixes and Other Improvements 

Thank you for your feedback!

With this release of Mazévo, there are several enhancements for your operations staff to give them the event setup information they need. Ops functions are now even more flexible and can be accessed from any phone, tablet, or desktop device.

Review Events and Manage Operations Now Available in your Web Browser. Previously these functions were only accessible through the use of the Mazévo Mobile App.  

Manage Operations Simplified. Previously there were separate functions to assign staff and view completed work. These functions are now a single item called Events. From here, you can also view the status of each service delivery noted with a colored indicator next to the service provider. 

Operations Staff Can Now View All Work. Previously a manager would need to assign operations staff to set up or teardown specific events within Mazévo, or staff would not be able to see the booking. Now your team can view all scheduled events and services even if they are unassigned. They can also assign the setup or teardown to themselves as needed.

"My Work" is Now "All Work."  This is to accommodate the above change. A user can now filter the list of bookings in All Work to just themselves as desired. 

New Notes Field for Workers on Bookings. When a worker is performing a setup, they can now enter notes about what they did or noticed. 

New Filter for Review Events and All Work When you are using Review Events, you can now filter the list of events by building. When you are using All Work, you can now filter by building and service providers.

There are several enhancements this month to improve the beauty and functionality of your scheduling experience.

You can now choose a monthly occurrence pattern when adding a new event. - Previously you could choose to have an event repeat monthly as long as it was on the same day every month. (i.e., the 8th of the month). Now you can choose to have an event recur on a specific day of the week each month. (i.e., Second Tuesday).

New My Tasks Button on Day at a Glance Screen - You can now access your tasks from the day at a glance screen. From here, you can complete, delete, or reassign tasks.

Improvements to Analytics - You can now publish and save analytic reports for use later by yourself or other staff members. You can also drill into the results on the data panel of analytics to see the individual bookings that make up a result.

New Button to Change Resource Notes - Resource notes are notes that appear by default when you select a resource. Now event planners and override and change these when adding resources.

You Can Now Search for, and Report on Events By Organization Type - The organization type field now appears on Find Events, Activity Log, Analytics, and Revenue Analytics.

New Pricing Method: Half Day/Full Day - If you charge for rooms or resources by day or half-day, this pricing method will calculate the correct price for you automatically.

New Move and Copy Bookings Functions - You can now move bookings from one event to another new or existing event. You can also copy individual bookings to other events with a new date.

Search for Events by VIP Flag - If you have marked an activity as a VIP event, you can now search for these in the Find Event tool.

Change Bookings to a Specific Date - Previously, if you wanted to change the date on a single booking, you could only move that booking a set number of days or weeks forward/backward. Now you can choose a specific date to transfer the booking to.

More Status Colors to Choose From - You have always been able to choose the colors of your statuses (confirmed, canceled, etc.) in Mazévo, but you were limited to 20 colors to choose from. Now you can choose from an almost unlimited number of colors.

Task Definition Notes Now Display To End-Users - Previously, these notes were not visible to end-users. Now, these notes will display when you hover over the name of the task.

See Attendance Numbers When Adding Resources - An event planner can now see the attendance for the event or booking when they are adding resources. Previously they would have had to close the Add Resources window to view this number.

An essential part of managing Mazévo is keeping your scheduling data clean and up to date. Over time you will accumulate rooms, resources, and customer information that you may no longer need. With this release, you can now disable unused configuration items. By disabling unused items, they will no longer be visible for new events, but you can still view and report on them for historical purposes. Here is a list of items that can now be disabled.

• Rooms
• Room Setups
• Organizations
• Contacts
• Event Types
• Statuses
• Cancel Reasons
• Messages
• Event Questions
• Approvals
• Tasks
• Scheduled Emails
• Resources
• Service Providers
• Pricing Plans
• Invoicing Departments

No one likes to wait on slow software, and we don't either! With this release, you will notice several performance improvements to Mazévo. Two of the most heavily used tools, the Event Book and Event Editor will now load faster each time you open them even if you have a lot of bookings. Viewing your filters in Find Events, the Calendar, and the Activity Log is also faster.

Introducing Scheduled Emails

With this update, you can now have Mazévo automatically send emails to your customers before and after their event. Examples include automatic reminders to customers to communicate important event details before their function or a post-event survey sent after the activity. 

These email messages can be scheduled automatically by Mazévo based on your settings or scheduled manually when you are editing an event. 

Brand-new Tools in the Event Book

This release includes several improvements to Mazévo's Event Book that allow you to add and edit bookings without having to leave the page. Right-clicking on a booking will open a menu allowing you to change the time or the room quickly. Double-clicking on any open area of the book will enable you to create a new event on the fly. 

Two other helpful features have been added to make it easier to view events that may fall outside of a standard workday. The book now has expanded viewing times. It now shows an entire 24 hour period starting at midnight. Previously the book only displayed events during the hours of 7:00 AM to 8:30 PM.  

The book also now visually displays building hours. The times outside of your building's operating hours are indicated with grey shading, making them stand out. Previously the building hours were listed, but there was no shading for a visual reference. 

Shared Rooms

Let's face it. The last thing you want is for your scheduling system to allow you to accidentally double book a room. There are times however, that you may need to have two groups share the same space at the same time. For instance, you may have two conference groups that will be having lunch in the cafeteria at the same time. With the new Shared Rooms function in Mazévo, you can now allow two confirmed bookings to be in the same room at the same time. 

Billing Improvements

A new complete column on the Create Invoices page makes it easier to tell if an event has any future bookings. Seeing if an event still has future bookings is helpful if you have events that recur regularly, i.e., a weekly meeting. Knowing if an event with multiple bookings is complete can help you determine when it is appropriate to bill the client. 

There is a new organization type column on the Create Invoices page. This makes it easy to distinguish external customers from internal groups that you may have a different billing process for. 

There is a new payment type for Electronic Funds Transfer. This new payment type is in addition to the existing payment types of cash, check, credit card, and "other." 

You now have an option to bill for a single activity more quickly. Previously you would have had to perform a search across a specified date range for an event and then select the event from a list to generate an invoice. Now you can enter the event number without having to search.

New Requestable/Reservable Indicator in Request Form

When someone is making a request for your space in the Mazévo app, they can now see if the room is reservable or requestable. Reservable rooms are automatically approved for use as long as the room is available at the time the individual is requesting the room. Requestable facilities require the approval of your event staff before being confirmed for use.
