This release includes significant improvements to secondary approvals, giving approvers more of the tools they need to review, document, and manage events.
Updated Secondary Approvals
In many organizations, secondary approvers are responsible for risk, compliance, safety, facilities, catering, security, alcohol service, or other specialized reviews. Yet they often don't have the tools they need to actually manage that responsibility. They can approve or deny, but they can't easily document decisions, collect information, communicate with requesters, or maintain an audit trail.
Instead of managing approvals through separate emails and side conversations, approvers can now attach documents, add notes, request additional information from within the approval process in Mazévo. This helps keep important event information in one place and creates a clearer record of how decisions were made.
Add and View Event Notes During Approval
Secondary approvers can now view event notes and add their own notes directly from the approval page.
This makes it easier to document important details related to an approval without relying on separate emails or asking an event planner to update the event. Notes remain part of the event record, helping teams stay informed as plans evolve.
Upload and Manage Event Documents
Secondary approvers can now add and update documents attached to an event.
Whether it's a permit, insurance certificate, vendor form, safety document, or another required attachment, approvers can store the information directly on the event as part of their review process. This helps keep supporting documentation organized and easy to find.
Add Approval-Specific Event Questions
Secondary approvers can now add event questions to an event during the approval process.
In addition to reviewing existing questions and responses, approvers can request additional information when needed. They can also require the requester to answer those questions before the approval process moves forward, helping ensure all necessary information is collected.
View All Secondary Approvals
Secondary approvers can now see all secondary approvals required for an event and their current status.
This provides better visibility into the overall approval process and gives approvers additional context when reviewing requests. Teams can quickly see which approvals have already been granted and which are still pending.
Update Multiple Approvals from One Place
When an approver is responsible for multiple approvals on an event, they can now manage those approvals from the same page.
This reduces the need to navigate between multiple approval records and makes it easier to complete reviews efficiently.
Updated My Approvals Page
The My Approvals page has been redesigned to make it easier for approvers to manage and track their work.
The updated page provides a clearer view of pending approvals and includes a new chart that summarizes approvals by type, making it easy to see where attention is needed at a glance. Responses to approval-specific event questions now also appear directly on the page, helping approvers monitor incoming information and follow up on outstanding items without having to search across multiple events. This gives approvers a more complete view of their workload and helps ensure important details don't get overlooked.
Configure What Approvers Can Do
Administrators now have more control over the capabilities available to secondary approvers.
Organizations can choose whether approvers can add notes, upload documents, manage questions, and perform other event updates. This flexibility allows each institution to balance oversight, responsibility, and control based on its own processes.
Additional Enhancements
More Events Visible on Monthly Public Calendars
Monthly public calendars can now display up to eight events per day.
Previously, only four events could be shown in a calendar cell before additional events were hidden. This update makes it easier for users to see what's happening at a glance, reducing the need to open individual dates to view scheduled events.
Filter Public Calendars by Calendar Tag
For organizations using calendar tags, this provides another way to create targeted calendar views for specific audiences, event types, departments, or locations. It offers more flexibility when publishing calendars and helps users find the events most relevant to them.
Improved Academic Conflict Review Experience
The academic conflict pop-up in Day at a Glance has been updated to make reviewing conflicts easier.
The pop-up now displays the conflicting course's date and time information without requiring additional scrolling. It can also be moved on the screen, allowing schedulers to review a conflict while still viewing other conflicts waiting for attention. These improvements reduce unnecessary clicks and scrolling, helping users process academic conflicts more efficiently.
