Duplicating a Task

We just released the ability to copy/duplicate tasks in ExhibitDay.

Copying / Duplicating a Task

Sometimes it might just be easier to create a new task by duplicating an existing task. If you have a task in ExhibitDay that you want to copy, you can use the new [Duplicate] button on the task edit form to make a copy of the task.

Pro-tip: you can also duplicate a task using the “Duplicate this Task” link on the task Context Menu (when you right-click on a task).

Note: If you want to copy all the tasks from one event to a new event, you can use the Event Copy feature (with the Copy Tasks option checked). For more information about copying events, please read this blog post.

The Context Menu for Tasks

We just released the new Context Menu for tasks in ExhibitDay.

The Task Context Menu

You can open the task Context Menu by right-clicking anywhere on a task (or, ctrl-click / secondary click on an Apple/Mac device). The task Context Menu gives you quick access to the functions you need to manage your tasks. For example, you can edit a task, show/hide its details, or delete it.

Importing Events from a Spreadsheet

We just released the ability to Bulk Upload your events in ExhibitDay.

Bulk Upload From a Spreadsheet

To upload your events from a spreadsheet, click on the Bulk Upload Events link in the drop-down menu of the [Events] tab (in the top menu bar). You’ll be taken to a page where you can download the import spreadsheet template (in .xslx format).

Bulk Import Events

Once you have downloaded the template, open it in Microsoft Excel (or any other spreadsheet application capable of editing .xlsx files). Then, fill in all your events (in accordance with the columns specified in the template). Finally, use the [Upload] button at the bottom of the page to start the import process.

Once the upload is complete, you’ll be taken to the Import Review Screen where you can see the event(s) being imported (and make any necessary data adjustments). To complete the import, click on the [Submit] button at the bottom of the Import Review Screen.

Note: the Bulk Upload Process is limited to 100 events per upload. So, if you would like to import more than 100 events, you should break them down into batches of 100 events per spreadsheet and upload each batch separately.

Following Storage Locations to get Notified about Asset Reservations

We just released the ability to Follow your Storage Locations in ExhibitDay (in order to get notified about Asset Reservations).

Following a Storage Location

To follow a Storage Location, click the Storage Locations link in the drop-down menu next to the [Manage Assets] tab. Then, click the Follow link next to the Storage Location(s) you would like to follow.

Follow Storage Location(s) to get notified about asset reservations.

Every time an Asset Reservation is made (or updated) from Storage Location(s) that you following, you’ll receive an email about the reservation.

Asset Reservation Notification Settings

By default, when you follow a Storage Location, you will get notifications about all asset reservations and updates from that location — upcoming and past reservations. If you don’t wish to get notifications about past reservations (e.g. when a reservation from a past event gets deleted), and only prefer to get notified about upcoming/future reservations, you can change your Asset Management notification settings under My Profile & Preferences > Email Notifications > Asset Management Notification Emails.
