Version 5 Rocks!  And we have a few more updates to make it even better.  These features are now available – if you have any questions please let us know!

Covid-19 Features

  • Let the Studio identify their preferred performance order!  Rather than getting spreadsheets from the Studio and hand manipulating on the back-end, simply have them number their own routines!  Once you are ready to generate the performance order, turn off this feature, and use the new sorting options (by Studio/ Requested Order) to finish your Performance Order in a few clicks.  (Season Control / Edit Button (in the popover: “Allow Studio to Enter their Own Performance Order” or while editing the Event in Additional Controls)
  • WebJudge – Added new web viewer for better performance
  • Live!  – if you are running virtual events, this new capability allows you to register your kids for virtual attendance and allow them to attend via livestream.  The system prevents more than one user from using the same keyword.
  • Added People count in Session scheduling so you can see both the number of routines, and number of unique individuals in that session to help with capacity/dressing room planning.

Web Registrations

  • Invoices!  You can send a copy of an Invoice with the Email the Studio receives when closing the registration or on demand.  Choose from a simple summary or summary plus attendees, routines, add-ons and transactions.
  • A registration can now be kept open after it has been paid.  This would allow the studio to go back and make changes without asking you to re-open it.  When you are ready, then you can turn off that feature, and close all the open registrations.  (Season Control / Edit Button (in the popover: “Keep Registrations Open during payment” or while editing the Event in Additional Controls).
  • When a new Studio account is added, or when the Studio is approved, you can assign an email letter template to be automatically be sent.  They will receive an additional customized email as you define in your letter templates. (Preferences / Registration / Scheduling / Studio Email messages button)
  • Additional checking when a registration is closed from anywhere in the system to make sure that it checks the rules and other important items.
  • Entrance / Exit notes and Special Division / Level can now be identified as mandatory fields when adding multiple routines.
  • Added filtering onto Start a Registration to prevent past Events from appearing.
  • Added a double-check during checkout to make sure the number of routines does not exceed the number of reserved routines.
  • Added secondary address with the ability to select which one is the primary address.
  • A Registration’s Routine tab now changes Blue IF a registrations routines all have music uploaded and (if you’re using it) the number of routines match the number of routine requests.  This is purely a visual feature to help let you know if all the music is ready to be downloaded or not when managing registrations.

  • Media Assistant doesn’t need to synchronize like TourPro so updating for an event takes 15-30 seconds per event.  For all those who setup and sync last minute, you just got your minute back!
