Welcome to the latest ShowOff update, packed with enhancements! Top highlights: enjoy more control with the new "Lock My Profile" feature, safeguarding your exhibitor profile from unwanted changes. We’ve also given RSS feeds a makeover on Composer II, and we’re retiring Insights! Dive in and explore all the exciting new features!
Big Hitters
Farewell Insights: Dashboard Banner Notification
The Insights reporting module inside ShowOff is going away on the 1st of July. As such, the ShowOff dashboard now features a top-of-page banner announcing the retirement. For more info, read our blog post here.
Composer II RSS Feed Widget
The RSS Feed widget now has some beautiful styles available on Composer II. Give your RSS widget a wardrobe makeover with new Grid and Carousel style options!
Lock Exhibitor Profiles
Ever wish your exhibitors could just put a "Do Not Disturb" sign on their exhibitor profile? Now they can! Introducing the "Lock My Profile" field, the digital bouncer against unwanted integration or import meddling. When your exhibitors decide their profile is pitch-perfect, they can simply tick the box. Like magic, their meticulously curated Online Profile, Logo, Website URL, Email, Social Media, and Address fields become off-limits to roaming APIs and integration updates. Voilà—no more unsolicited updates to mess with their masterpiece!
To avoid unwanted locking, this option isn’t shown to exhibitors by default, head to ShowOff’s “Event Settings” area to switch it on.
