Week of February 10, 2025 Updates

Improvements to the announcements list on the Manage Trip screen

There are times where there will be a scheduled announcement that is not relevant to any account holders. For instance, an announcement might be set to go out to all overdue accounts, but all accounts are up to date.

We used to indicate this by showing a “0 of 0 Delivered” status. We heard feedback that some folks thought this meant the message failed to send.

To clear things up, the status will now say “0 Applicable Recipients.” We also added a note to the “Sent Announcement” screen in this scenario, which reads “0 recipients met the criteria to receive this announcement.”

Questionnaire answers are now visible (but still not editable) after editing date passes

We heard that, even if they can’t change their responses, passengers still want to see how they answered questionnaires after the editing date passes.

Now, if a passenger finds themselves wondering what they ordered for lunch or what size T-shirt they ordered, they can view their responses the same way they would go to view them if editing were still open. The ability to edit will be locked and a reminder will display at the top of the screen indicating that response editing is closed.

I’ll be settling into the biweekly cadence in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please enjoy this amuse bouche, which I hope will give you a sense of what to expect from this new feature! If you like what you see and want to never miss an entry, you can subscribe in less than 15 seconds here.
