ThinkREG Event Registration
Changes August 12, 2026
  • Session availability
    • A new Session Availability profile decides when a session can be picked and where it appears — pre-registration, self edit, mobile app — with an optional start and end date, either one on its own, or both
    • Name it once and share it across every session it applies to, the way onsite hours profiles work
    • Choose what a registrant sees once it closes: the session hidden entirely, or listed with no button. A session someone already holds never disappears from under them
    • Sessions with no profile are offered to everyone at all times, which is how every existing session already behaves
    • Set it on Edit Session, inline on the review rows, or as a column in the session import
  • Sessions
    • A session that has already started can still be added — someone can walk up and join one in progress — but can no longer be dropped, since the seat and its fee are spent. A session that is over can be neither
    • Judged over a linked group as a whole, so a full-day workshop whose morning has begun cannot be half dropped. Enforced on the older session component too
    • Linked sessions now read as one block on the card: a “time – name” line per session, earliest first, with the card’s own session in bold and a partner on another day naming that day
    • Ticking one member of a group ticks the rest on screen, so a pick no longer looks as though it failed
    • Answering “attend this instead” to a conflict now takes the whole group with it, and the prompt names what else is going — no more half a workshop left on the schedule
    • Track and Date pulldowns and the Group chips carry a count, so you can see what a filter is worth before spending a click on it
  • Managing sessions
    • Session Review and the Session List share one row of status buttons, each carrying its count, replacing the pull down — the size of every queue is visible without opening it
    • Session Review opens on Approved and Published rather than on New, so an event with nothing waiting no longer opens on an empty page
    • Session import creates a track it hasn’t seen before instead of rejecting the row, and matches existing track names whatever the capitalisation — importing a programme is one pass now, not two
    • Fixed: a CSV session import checked the track name and then silently cleared it. Only the Excel path ever set it
  • Onsite reports
    • The Onsite tab opens its reports in place, under the list, with progress in the row beneath — the last tab still opening reports in a popup window
    • Check-in by Type is available for the first time; it had a row on the tab but no report behind it
    • Fixed: the five check-in reports and the Station Report failed or read zero across the board. For a check-in count, “nobody checked in” is a far worse answer than an error, so a failure now says so
    • The Station Report returns in about a second instead of the better part of twenty — it was reading the whole check-in table once per station
    • The old Station Report link still works and lands in the new place
    • Excel exports are true .xlsx, past the old 65,536-row ceiling that a multi-day scan report can reach
    • Reports opened in place print a small line saying where the time went — build, transit and render — and it stays off the printed copy
  • Cloning
    • Cloning an event runs in the background behind a progress bar. It used to hold the browser on a blank tab for about a minute, which had people re-posting and starting a second clone on top of the first
    • The clone is one piece of work now rather than a dozen, so it is markedly faster and a failure part way through cannot leave a half-built event behind
    • The Timezone pull down on the clone page is no longer empty
    • Clone an article from the articles list. It opens a new article pre-filled from the one you picked — nothing is saved until you save it, so backing out leaves nothing behind
  • Access
    • Thirteen report screens resolved a report, schedule or event straight from the address bar without checking who owned it, so anyone with report access could reach another owner’s data by editing a url. All now check
    • Report schedules mattered most: the address a scheduled report is delivered to could be changed on somebody else’s report
