ThinkREG Event Registration
Changes August 13, 2026
  • Saved reports
    • A report you have saved now appears underneath the report it was built from, on the tab where you built it — registrant reports on Overview, badge reports on Onsite, agenda reports on Sessions. Where you go to make one is where you go to find it again
    • Basic and All Details keep their own lists rather than sharing one, since they are different reports
    • Saved reports now run on the page you are already on, with a progress bar underneath and a download link when they finish, instead of opening a separate window
    • Each one offers the format it was saved with, and only formats that report can actually produce
    • Saving a report now returns you to the tab that lists it, with the menu highlighting that tab, rather than to the old custom reports page. Scheduling and deleting take you to the same place
    • The old custom reports page is still in the menu and now says where each kind of report moved to, naming the tab. Anyone who bookmarked it gets an answer instead of an empty page
    • Fixed: a saved badge or agenda report set to Excel failed as soon as it ran. Neither of those reports has ever produced Excel
    • Fixed: the page for scheduling a report came up blank
  • Badge printing
    • A run of 275 badges finishes in about four seconds instead of about thirty. Artwork used on the badge was being rebuilt into the file once for every badge, rather than once for the whole file
    • The file itself is smaller too, because a logo that appears on every badge is now stored once and reused
    • Background and field images are loaded once and shared for the whole run instead of being downloaded again for each badge, which onsite badge printing benefits from as well. Change a background and it is picked up within a few minutes, with nothing to restart
  • Forms and groups
    • When editing an answer option on a multiple choice question, the page now shows a ready-made link that opens registration with that option already chosen — so a targeted invitation can go out without anyone piecing the address together by hand. It appears once the option has been saved
    • The master group event list shows each event’s dates beside its name, so an event that runs every year, or several editions sharing one name, can be told apart when granting a group access
  • Smaller things
    • The key explaining the icons is gone from Overview, Sessions and the custom reports page. Each icon already says what it does when you hover over it, and most of the formats the key listed are not offered on those pages
    • The alternating row shading on the Onsite tab runs cleanly to the bottom of the table again
  • Attendee import
    • The attendee import can now set custom registrant properties. Give a property a column and mark each attendee yes or no, exactly the way sessions already work — so lanyard colours, wristbands, VIP status, gift eligibility and anything else you keep as a property can arrive with the file instead of being ticked one attendee at a time
    • Properties appear in their own group at the bottom of every column’s menu on the mapping page, listing the properties belonging to that event
    • A column whose heading matches a property name is chosen for you, so a column headed VIP lands on the VIP property without you picking it from the list
    • A blank cell takes the property away, so a single file can both add and remove — worth keeping in mind if you cut a file down before running it
    • Fixed: a column of 1s and 0s was read as though every answer were no. Session and property columns now accept yes, true, y, 1, x or checked, including a plain 1 typed into a spreadsheet cell, which previously did not count
    • The instructions above the mapping page now say what these columns expect, rather than leaving it to be discovered
