July 2022 Platform Update

Major Updates

We’re so excited to bring you a great deal of major updates for our version  8.4 rollout of Jumbo.

Please reach out to your customer success specialist if you have questions or need help implementing these great new changes in your Jumbo Platform. We’re happy to help!

In the meantime – check out our notes below!

Registration →  Easy Access Codes to Share With Your Registrants

Jumbo is always working to make registration for your events as easy as possible. And with more events seeking flexibility to combine off-site/partner registrations and virtual, hybrid and fully on-location components we’re launching a super easy unique access code feature.

With   Easy Access Codes you can generate up to 1000 unique random 12 character alphanumeric codes at a time which are dumped to a CSV. Future code generation batches are added on to valid codes accepted on your site. A code can look something like this: 1AB440EFD0DC

Your registration form can be set up to require any of these access codes before a login is successful.

The   Easy Access Codes generated in this way can be used and re-used as needed, but are not restricted in order to make login easy and fast for your attendees. Each unique access code is cryptically enhanced with random numbers and letters, so there’s no motivation to share and access code use can be tracked in your registrations table to ensure intended use is being followed.

Stats →  Viewer Stats Count Active Viewers

Your Stats → Viewer Stats table now defaults to showing monthly active viewers (MAUs) over the last 30 days, however you are also able to change the time period to see active users per day, week, and 90 day periods.

Active Viewers are users who have logged in once over the selected period and have viewed one channel.
