February 14, 2021 - Updates, enhancements and new features

We're excited to announce some refinements and enhancements that make the Erbium platform more powerful.

More User Friendly Form Menu

We have updated the Erbium platform to provide an easier way to interact with the system

We have replaced the slide-in / slide-out left menu with a horizontal menu that remains present on the the form editor.

For the most part, the functionality of the menu remains the same, with a few minor enhancements.

Below you will see the location of the new menu.

New! - Date of Birth Widget

The Data of Birth widget provides you with the ability to ask for a date of birth and automatically determine the age of the respondent calculated at one of the following:

• The date of registration
• A custom date
• The start date of the event (events only)

And, use the calculated age in rules that display other questions.

Look for this icon in the widget palette:

Included! - Post Event Surveys

Post event surveys enable you to poll event registrants after the event using a dedicated survey - adding responses to their original registrant record.  And ... use rules based upon the original registration to only ask questions that are pertinent to the attendee.

Form Types

Going forward, when creating forms identify the purpose of the form to enable special features:

1. Data Collection Form - can be used for collecting any type of data.
2. Event Registration Form - specifically used for events, these forms are enabled for attendee types and post event surveys.  First name. last name and email address are mandatory for event registration.
