Other Bug Fixes and Improvements

 

June has been a busy month for our software developers. They have cranked out several new options and features to make your scheduling more efficient. Read on for the list of updates. 

Updates to Mazévo Statuses 

If your organization relies on statuses to help you with workflow, you probably rely on statuses to keep things running smooth. With this update, you now have more control over how your statuses work with your scheduling process and how they are used to display event information online and on reports.

 

New Status Settings for Advanced Security Policies

You can now select specific statuses applied to new requests, changed requests, and canceled requests. This gives you more control over which statuses are used when managing event requests than the previous method.  

 

New Option for Requests That Do Not Hold Space 

You can now allow requests that do not block space. This allows multiple requests for a room to "stack up" for the same date and time, allowing an event planner to determine who should be allowed to use the space. 

 

Event Planners Can Now Schedule Rooms With Statuses That Don't Block Space 

You can now select an event status before choosing a room. This allows you to select a status such as "Lost Business" or "Wait List" that does not reserve the space. Previously you would have had to edit the event after you entered it.  

 

Select Status From Approve/Deny Buttons in Event Editor

When processing a new request, pressing the approve or deny buttons will give you a choice of which approved or denied status you wish to select if you have more than one defined. Previously Mazévo chose the default status automatically.  

 

Updates to the Event Request Process

Requesters Can Now Distinguish Canceled vs. Denied Requests

Requests that an event planner denies will now display as "Denied" to the requester. Requests that the requester cancels will show as canceled.  

 

Prevent Requesters From Making Changes to Events

You can now selectively lock events, preventing them from being edited by a requester. A lock icon indicates to all parties that a requester can't change the event.  

 

Requesters Can Now Edit Setup Type and Count

Requesters can now edit setup type and count for individual bookings. When editing the setup count, Mazévo will limit them to changing the number to an amount that the room can hold if you have defined the room's capacity.

 

Requesters Can View and Add Secondary Contacts to Events 

A requestor can now view the secondary contact on an event. They can also add a secondary contact to an event that doesn't have one.  

 

Requesters Can Now Move Bookings to Rooms in Another Building 

Previously they could only update their bookings to rooms in the same building 

 

Resources Now Grouped for Requesters 

If you are using resource groupings to organize your resources, these will now display to the requester. Previously only an event planner would be able to see the resource groups.  

 

Other Updates

Changed Color of Events in Combo Rooms 

Events booked in a combo room will appear lighter in the room components than they did previously. This should make it easier to distinguish which room the event is in at first glance.  

 

Contact Phone Number Now Displayed to Operations Staff

When viewing a booking in Manage Operations or in the Mazévo Mobile App, you will now see the contact's phone number.

 

New VIP Indicator on Daily Ops Report 

When viewing the daily ops report, you can now tell which events are VIP events.  

 

Updates to the Banquet Event Order Report 

• The BEO will now print service orders on separate pages if desired 
• The Event Coordinator and their title will now display in the header of the BEO 
• A new footer is displayed that indicates the date, time, and initials of the person who generated the BEO 
• The BEO header information will now display on each page 

 

Discounts Now displayed on Revenue Analytics Report 

The revenue Analytics report now has a column for gross amounts and discount amounts. The Amount column has been renamed to Net Amount.  

 

New Amount Columns in Analytics Report 

When reporting on revenue, you will now see columns for gross amount, discount, net amount, tax, service charge, and total revenue. 

 

Various Bug Fixes

With this update, colleges and universities can transfer course information directly to Mazévo through the Mazévo API (Application Programming Interface). Previously course information had to be uploaded via a text file as a manual process.

 

Limit Requests for Inventoried Items to Your Total Inventory.

Mazévo will now limit requests for inventoried resources so you can't request more of an item than the total in inventory. The maximum allowed is also displayed to the requester. For example: if you have a total of 20 chairs, a requester would never be able to select more than 20.

 

This update also includes other bug fixes and improvements.

 

We have been keeping our software developers busy lately! This update includes a list of enhancements to Event Questions and other changes suggested by Mazévo customers.

Event Questions

New Event Question Sort Order

You can now choose the order you want event questions to display to requesters.

 

New Dependent Questions

You can now have questions that will appear based on how you answered a previous question. For instance, you can ask, "will food be served at the event?" If the answer is yes, two other questions could appear to collect more detail. Example: What kind of food will you be serving? Where are you ordering food from?

 

Event Planners Can Now Submit Answers to Event Questions

If an event planner is scheduling an event on behalf of someone else, they can now enter a response to event questions. Previously they could only enter answers to questions that they manually added. They can also edit or change responses to questions that requesters submitted.

 

Event Questions Now Display in Find Events

You can now filter and search for events based on event questions.

 

Updates to the Event Book

New Ways to Filter Rooms

You can now choose to see only rooms with bookings, only rooms without bookings, or specific rooms in the event book.

 

Add Past Events From the Book

You can now add events that occur in the past while in the event book. Previously you would have to use the Add New Event function to add a booking for a time-frame in the past.

 

Email Updates

Automatically Send Copies of Confirmation Emails to Departmental Email Address

When you send a confirmation to a customer, you can now have a copy of that confirmation automatically be sent to a departmental email address. Previously Mazévo would only send a copy of the confirmation to the user who sent the confirmation to the customer.

Individual Event planners can now opt-out of receiving copies of the confirmations that are sent to their customers.

We removed the "People" Column from the Daily Ops Report

We did this for the sake of clarity.

Copy Calendar Properties

When you copy an event, the calendar properties will now automatically be copied as well.

 

New Single-Sign-On URL Option

We can now configure SSO in Mazévo to utilize a URL that is specific for your organization. This allows you to direct all your Mazévo users to your Identity Providers login page automatically. Previously you needed to ask your users to provide their email address first before being redirected to your identity provider's login page. Contact Mazévo Support if you wish to configure SSO to use this URL.

 

The Request Menu has Been Removed for Global Administrators. 

The request menu will now only display for those that have the Requester security role.

Banquet Event Order Report

Suppress Pricing on Confirmations and Banquet Event Orders

You now have an option to hide the pricing on your confirmation or BEO documents.

 

Resource Usage Report - Tag Filtering

You can now filter the Resource Usage Report by resource tag. Previously you could only filter by service provider. This gives you finer control over what you want to display on the resource usage report.

 

Resource Usage Report Publishing

Find Events Filtering by Event Coordinator

You can now use Event Coordinator as filtering criteria when displaying a list of events.

Room Diagram Uploads

You can now upload a room diagram file with a booking. Previously you could only save the URL to the location of the room diagram on the booking.

 

New Create an Account Link

You can now allow someone to create a new account and request space without intervention. Previously, the only way someone could request a room was to manually set them up with a user account first or use SSO. If you wish to enable this capability, please contact Mazévo support.

 

New Menu Group for Requests and Approvals in Web App

There is a new menu group for requests. This will display to any user who is a global administrator or has the option to request space. Previously global administrators could never see the request menu items without logging into the mobile app.

 

Event Editor Improvements

Expandable Panels on the Event Editor

The event editor's top portion (event section) has been updated to include expandable panels to hide the event's lesser-used information.

Improvements to Task Tab of Event Editor

There is a new filter to hide tasks that are associated with canceled bookings in the event editor. We also made some minor adjustments to how tasks are displayed to make them more consistent throughout the system.

Add Resources Performance Improvements

If you have a large number of resource items defined in Mazévo, it should now be faster to load your list of resources when adding them to bookings.

Report Improvements

New Rolling Date Range in Reports

You can now run all future-facing reports (i.e., Daily Ops Report, Event List, etc.) for today plus a specified number of days. This information will also be saved when you publish the report.

Resource Note Improvements

Resource notes and special instructions now display in the Mazévo Operations app. Special instructions are also called out with a label to make them stand out.

New Special Instructions Label on Confirmations

If a resource has special instructions, it is now called out on the confirmation with a label of "special instructions."

Confirmation Room-Diagram Link Improvement

The link for a room diagram is now highlighted in a different color on the confirmation to make it stand out to the customer.

You can now show or hide events in the Mazévo ops app based on their event status. Previously only bookings with a status of "confirmed" displayed in the ops app.

New Expansion View in Review Events

The Review Events tool now allows you to expand and collapse bookings to see details. Previously Mazévo displayed these details in a new window.

New Multi-select in Review Events

You can now check off multiple bookings and review them at the same time. Previously you had to drill into each booking individually to review.

More Improvements...

New Change Date Tool in the Book

The Event Book now includes a tool to edit the time of a booking quickly.

Configure Single-Sign-On (SSO) and Non-SSO accounts.

You can now configure some of your users to use Single-Sign-On while creating other accounts that don't use SSO. Previously once you turned on SSO, you could only create accounts that utilized SSO. As an example, now you can have all students and staff use SSO while allowing your service providers that have an external email to login with an email and password.

New Ability to View Data Across Multiple Mazévo Tenants

If your organization has more than one department that uses a separate instance of Mazévo, you can now run a single report to display all bookings in each tenant. This feature is currently in Beta, so contact Mazévo support if you are interested in learning more.

Browser Tab Improvements

If you leave an event open in a browser tab, it would sometimes refresh, and another event would appear. This has been corrected.

 

New Public Calendar Links

You can now create customized links to your public calendar of events that only show events in specific buildings or with a particular event type or status. The new public calendar will also automatically display your organization's logo and use your primary branding color. The new options can be found in Settings > Calendar Filters

 

With this update we also made several changes "under the hood" to improve performance and fixed a number of minor bugs.
