Happy Halloween from the Sessionboard team! We have some updates to share with you below.
Additionally, here's a few things we are working on this quarter (amongst other top-secret features 🤫):
- Scheduled Emails / Sending emails from a filtered set of recipients
- Printable agendas (e.g. to PDFs based on a Word Doc template)
- Awards + Scholarship Submissions / Payment support on forms
- Sharing evaluation and 3rd party survey feedback with speakers via the Speaker Portal
- AI Insights across your sessions and speakers to help you answer questions like: What topics are covered across your sessions? What speakers would be good for this session? For a given speaker, what topics can they speak about? What other sessions are similar to this session?

✅ New Features
1) Add Save Buttons to Contact and Group Profiles
Related Feedback: https://sessionboard.canny.io/feature-requests/p/add-a-physical-save-button-in-the-speaker-profile
This improvement is based on feedback from our customers in the Feedback Portal. We added a "Save" button to the Contact and Group profiles to save changes after you have made them. Previously, changes would save automatically when clicking out of a form input, which was not very user friendly or predictable.
Contact Profile data that will now save with the "Save" button:
- Profile Fields
- Attributes
- Custom Fields
Group Profile data that will now save with the "Save" button:
- Profile Fields
- Custom Fields
Session Profile data that will now save with the "Save" button:
- Session Fields
- Custom Fields

2) Extend Individual Portal Task Deadlines
For a given task (e.g. custom task, form, document request) in a portal, you can now explicitly extend the due date for just that task. Previously to do this, you'd need to do a blanket extension for all of your portal tasks, or change the due date on a task.
Notes:
- You can view the extended due date in the table of tasks next to the existing due date.
- The original due date will still show in the portal. The extending of the due date will allow the task to remain "open" past the due date.
- If a portal-wide extension is in place AND a specific task due date extension, the latest (furthest away) date will be used for a given task.

✨ Enhancements
1)
You can now reference global fields across your Applications and Portal Forms (e.g. for groups, contacts and sessions). Previously some of these instances were limited to Event-only field (e.g. Portal Forms for Sessions was limited).--
