📓Release Notes - September 2020

These changes are being made during September 2020. This document will be updated as additional changes are made.

New Changes

Requiring a Stall for Entry of a Show

Show companies can now require that entries have a stall to be able to enter a show. There is now a a checkbox in the General tab of the Show for Require Entry Stall.

should it get replaced by this one?

On the Show Fee record, make sure that Stabling Fee and Available for Web Ordering options are selected for the stall fee.

When the stall fee (or any fee that has Stabling Fee checkbox enabled) is added in the entry the option to select Trainer Stall Inventory* appears. This will need to be checked within the trainer account so that the quantity of the fee will be considered as available stall inventory to use in the web entries. **Note: This will only be available IF the entry is linked to a trainer account.**

Exhibitor View on the Web

Once the entries are added online, the stall quantity will be checked for within the trainer account of the selected trainer and matched with the trainer's entries. If the inventory is not available, then the user will receive a stop in the Review Fees step.

In the Show Office

Entries can either have stalls added from their trainer account or they can add a stabling fee. This means that the entry will either A) Utilize a stall from the trainer's available inventory or B) add the stall to the entry for them to meet the requirement of having a stall. **NOTE: In the Show Fee record, be sure to set an inventory cap for stalls to ensure that the stalls are not over sold.

If an entry is being added in the show office, users will see a notification on the bottom of the screen notating whether the stall they are assigning to the entry is going to be coming from a trainer's inventory or not. They will also see the remaining inventory for that trainer account.

If the entry is not associated with a trainer and/or no stall has been added, users will not be able to continue with the entry process.

There will also be an error message if the inventory is not available.

Be sure that the "Trainer Stall Inventory" box is checked. Otherwise, the stalls won't show as available for use.

When the office changes the stall inventory type there will be a message displayed to ensure they intended to make this change.

There will also be a column on the fee list view to indicate whether or not the stall is from trainer inventory. If it is, an checkmark will appear in the column marked "I" for inventory.

**Note: This feature is not yet available on the iOS app so any shows with this option cannot be entered int he iOS app.

Users with a video subscription will now see a new icon (blow horn) to report a problem which will directly go to the ShowGrounds RVS support ticketing system. They will also now see direct links to share the video on both Facebook and Twitter. This will be on both the desktop and mobile view.

Anyone with a video subscription will now be able to play their subscribed videos from their account directly both on the desktop and mobile site
