Attendees Privacy Settings

Custom Fields (beta)

  • You can now add custom fields in Grenadine. There is a new page allowing to manage these fields: “Event Manager -> Settings -> Global Settings -> Custom Fields”. Check out our documentation page on this subject
  • For now, you can add Custom fields to the People and Call for submissions table but we are going to extend this feature to the other entities used in Grenadine (Schedule, Organizations, etc..)

Sessions

  • You can now add some text at the top the Schedule page on the website. Here is an example from one of our customer using this feature to filter the schedule by venue.
  • Session Themes have been moved over to Categories (you won’t see any change in your data). You can use the “Event Manager -> Settings -> Global Settings -> Categories” page to manage your categories.
