Release Notes Visit 5.27
Engagement tools
Public Visitor Directory
We’ve added an Attendee section in Visit Connect, thus enabling exhibitors to browse through the list of attendees with a public profile and initiate conversations, in the same way that visitors do in Discover.
Note that in order to view the visitor directory (Attendees in Visit Connect), exhibitors must be registered and access Visit Connect as staff members.
This comes with a series of changes in Visit Create (Event > Visit Connect > Public Visitor Directory):
- Added Public Visitor List setting to Visit Create.
- Added option to enable/disable chat.
- Add pending chat limit (this is a default limit per partner registration type).
In the same way that default number of available questions and products is configured for each partner registration type, you may also set the default number of pending chat messages. Within each partner, it’s also possible to override these with custom values.
And in Visit Connect:
- We’ve added an Attendees section to the menu.
- Added option to start a chat with a visitor from the Public Visitor List.
- Added option to recall a message.
Visit Create
Service Centre – Partner Information
We enhanced the partner details screen in the service center and added creation time and source to it. This helps support teams identify when and how a partner was created.
Visit Academy
Removed course pre-requisites
We have removed course pre-requisites from the ‘Basic Certificate’.
Although users will still need to take the knowledge check to gain the certificate, it’s no longer necessary to complete the earlier modules. This change has been implemented to allow users familiar with Visit to access the intermediate level courses more readily.
Release Notes Visit 5.26
Engagement tools
Reporting
As part of the upcoming Engagement reporting, we’ve refactored the existing Visit Intelligence charts, tables, and layouts into standardized components, enabling reuse when introducing custom dashboards (to be launched in future releases).
The dashboards display the same data as before, however, the components have a slightly different appearance.
- We’ve introduced standardized date selection.
- We now display data of all days in one graph instead of navigating through the days.
API
Questions and Answers Validation
Starting with Release 5.26, we will enforce stricter validation on questions and answers submitted through the API.
When submitting questions and answers as properties of Visitors, the API will check that the question and answer combinations are valid, and also that the questions are available within the context of the specific form and event.

On-site
New Supported Hardware – EPSON CW-C4000e
Our previously supported label printer, the EPSON TM-C3500, has been discontinued as of 2022/2023. EPSON has released the CW-C4000 as its successor – which we have included in our list of supported hardware – offering several improvements:
- Higher quality prints
- Faster print speed
- Larger print width
Due to the EOL of the TM-C3500 and its declining availability, the CW-C4000 has now become the replacement printer, although we will continue to support the previous model as well.
Note: The CW-C4000 printer is only supported by Check-in terminal starting with version 5.26 (released on November 3rd 2024) and will not work on older versions!
