Last year, we had introduced an easy-to-remember login URL for Harmony admins - ‘manage.artofliving.org’ that would detect the admin’s country and automatically redirects redirect to that country’s Harmony login page.

Owing to Google’s increased prices, earlier this year we had to temporarily remove Google maps from the venue section on the “New 'New Course’ and ‘New Event’ page, earlier this year.
We have now re-introduced these maps in such a way that minimizes so as to minimize the cost charged by Google, while still offering the same ease that organizers are familiar with when adding or updating course / event venues.

Earlier, venue details could only be added in English even for the non-English speaking countries. This would make it difficult for some participants (who only spoke / knew the local language) to understand the course / event address on the website. Now, when editing a course / event, teachers / organizers can add the venue details in a local language in addition to English.

The confirmation email that participants receive after they have signed up register for a course now includes all the details of the course contact person that are provided when creating the course. This gives participants greater ease of reaching out to the course contact in case they need any assistance.

In case there are participants who have not given their consent for PPA and health declaration, then the system will show a warning symbol will be shown against the participant’s record on the ‘view participant’s ‘View Participants page’. This is to highlight these participants whose consent is pending, so teachers / organizers can follow up if needed.

Earlier for all event types, the ‘event end date’ was enabled and often some teachers a mandatory field. Sometimes organizers would confuse that this field with the ‘repeat end date’ field in cases of for recurring events. Now, for single day events such as Sudarshan Kriya follow ups , Harmony will pre-fill and disable or Kirtans, the ‘event end date’ field has been disabled to avoid any confusion.

In some countries, it is a legal requirement to document the participant attendance records offline. This new feature allows teachers to upload these offline attendance records in Harmony making it easier to retrieve them later if needed. This facility is available on the ‘View Participants’, ‘Course Details’ and ‘Submit CAF’ screens.

Earlier, when an assisted registration was done by a teacher / organiser, there were chances that participants miss the fact that their consent for PPA and health declaration was still pending, although it was mentioned in the registration confirmation email. This would lead to teachers having teachers / organizers would sometimes realize, after their course ended, that there were participants with pending PPA or health declaration, and would have to follow up with the these participants to get this action completeddone.
Now, the confirmation email sent to the participant clearly emphasizes upfront, that there are pending actions (including such as PPA and health declaration) that need to be completed before participants attend the course starts. This is likely to reduce cases of pending PPA and health declarationparticipant actions, leading to a smoother CAF submission process for teachers while also reducing any legal liability concerns for the organization.

1- Earlier the ‘disable course fee’ , the ‘Disable Course Fee’ option would only work on the ‘manage course fees page’ ‘Manage Course Fees' page but would not work on the individual ‘edit fee ‘Edit Fee record’ page. We have fixed this and now the ‘disable course fee’ option works well on both the pagesso you can disable the course fee from either page.
2 - Earlier once , when editing a residential course or event was announced, the accommodation section could not be edited / updated. Now even after a course / event is announced, new accommodation , it wasn't possible to edit the existing accommodation options. Now this can be done.
