Resubscribe to Emails
MyConferenceTime registrants appreciate receiving confirmation emails after registering for a conference, and they also are grateful for the reminders that schools send prior to conferences. One of the biggest support requests we receive at MyConferenceTime is from parents who unsubscribed from emails - they want to resume receiving confirmation and reminder emails!
Anyone who unsubscribed from MyConferenceTime emails now can remove themselves from the unsubscribe list. It's easy - go to the resubscribe form, enter your email address, then verify your email address using the code sent by MyConferenceTime.
Improved & Smoother Log In
MyConferenceTime improved the log in process. Most school staff won't see a change because they will continue to be able to log in smoothly.
Unfortunately there were a few school staff members over the past few months who had trouble logging in due to the "Recaptcha" which consistently rejected the username/password due to a low score. Starting today, anyone who receives a low Recaptcha score now has the option of checking the "I'm Not a Robot" box to verify you're not a bot/spammer when logging in.
Create a Drop-Down Menu for Parents to Select
MyConferenceTime admins can specify drop-down responses used when parents sign up for a conference. For example, MyConferenceTime admins can create a drop-down menu showing the types of conferences being offered. When a parent signs up, the parent chooses from the drop-down menu.
Add fields for type of conference, interpreters, or any other information you need to make your conferences go smoothly.
Private Schedules
School staff frequently ask MyConferenceTime Support for a way to allow a pre-selected group of parents to access a schedule. In addition to password-protecting the schedule and restricting the schedule by parent email address, MyConferenceTime now offers "private schedules."
To access a private schedule, a parent must have the URL to directly access the schedule. Parents who do not have the URL are not able to see or access the schedule. In addition, private schedules do not appear on a school's MyConferenceTime homepage.
We created a staff support article and an admin support article to help you get started using private schedules.
Merge Staff Accounts - A Solution When Staff Can't View Schedule
Staff members sometimes are unable to view the names of students on his/her conference schedule after logging in. This is often a result of the staff member having multiple MyConferenceTime accounts.
Admins now have the ability merge staff accounts so that a teacher's multiple accounts are merged into one, creating a smoother log in process and eliminating the issue where a teacher logs in yet can't see his/her own conference schedule.
Previously only MyConferenceTime Support were able to merge staff accounts, but now any account admin can merge accounts for his/her staff.
Logo - New Option to Exclude MyConferenceTime Watermark
Schools that use MyConferenceTime like to customize the look of their conference schedules by editing the colors and uploading a school logo.
MyConferenceTime had (and still has) the option to upload a logo that will have a MyConferenceTime watermark on the logo. As of today, account admins can choose to upload a logo that does not have the MyConferenceTime watermark.
Of course we'd like for you to include "MyConferenceTime" text, but we're no longer requiring it.
