New Features:

Add EFT Tracking Fields to Contract Editor & Reports
Impact: Internal

Update Requirements for New Calls for Super Admins
Impact: Internal

Fixes:

Error Message Not Displayed for Juror Usernames that are Taken
Impact: Administrators

Information Only Application Questions Required to Answer
Impact: Administrators, Artists

  • Fixed an issue where some “information only” type questions were required on the application form and prevented artists from checking out. This occurred if an administrator changed a required application question from a standard question type to an “information only” type.

July 28, 2022

New Features:

Allow Artists to Submit Links for Audio and Video Work Samples 
Impact: Administrators, Artists

    • Note: Only YouTube and Vimeo links are supported for videos at this time.
Add Conditional Logic Questions
Impact: Jurors

    • Implemented conditional logic questions to the application editor so administrators can show or hide particular questions depending on answers to previous questions. This will allow administrators to customize their calls more succinctly and gain more detailed information from artists.

June 23, 2022

Update Call Detail Page & Display Jury Dates
Impact: Administrators, Artists

    • Updated the design of the call detail page with a layout that will be easier for artists to view the call details and the organization’s information at a glance.
    • Added an optional feature to display the start and end dates of the jury on the call detail page. This will make it easier for artists to keep track of notifications of jury results and make the call for entry timeline more transparent.

Fixes:

Videos Cut Off in Jury Scorecard

June 2, 2022

Fixes:

Populated Fields Marked as “Required”
Impact: Administrators

Undelivered Emails & Timestamps Displaying Zero

    • Resolved an issue with emails not being delivered or displayed a blank timestamp of 0/00/0000 for a particular call for entry. Updated the query criteria to resend any undelivered emails.
