Harmony Release 11.12
As you are aware that Harmony has expanded over the past few years, so has its complexity. Just like with any feature rich product, maintaining simplicity while enhancing functionality is critical for usability.
Presenting the new set of features as a part of our regular Harmony upgrade. Most of these features will be available by default on all country instances.
Enhancements:
National Admins can now add separate course fees for courses that start within a specified date range. As an example, if fee changes are slated to take effect on a certain date in the future, these can now be set up under System Settings > Manage Course Fees.
This ensures that when courses are announced, they take on the correct fee based on what the course start date is.
Improving the visibility of Login hyperlink on the registration page by displaying text and link in the top-center area above the Form. This is to assist the returning participants to easily login which helps to pre-fill the personal details on the Registration Form.
Setting to Enable / Disable - Pay Later was added in the previous release.
In this release Pay Later - Enabled or Disabled (‘Pay Later’ name might vary depending upon country specific settings) status has been added to the CSV file which can be downloaded using ‘Export to CSV’ button on the Course listing page.
National Admins can now set whether Program Participant & Health Declarations are mandatory or optional for submitting CAF (Program Participant & Health) & EAF (Program Participant) logs.
For online courses, a new setting has been introduced to either allow or restrict participants to register from other countries for individual courses.
National Admin can enable or disable this feature at the Course Type level. When the setting is enabled Teachers / Program Organizers will have the option to allow or restrict participants registering from other countries for the specific course.
Harmony Users with roles (National Admin, Program Organizer, Center Admin, etc.) who have access to participant details page can now view email delivery logs on participant’s details page for free events.
When participants select a fee level other than “Regular” to register for a course, they are asked a few additional questions. Their response to these questions is now available in the exported participant list.
This allows organizers / teachers to view their response and, if needed, contact the participant for any clarification and / or to establish eligibility for the fee level selected by the participant.
Certain countries want to restrict the payment options to online methods only, even for assisted registration. The offline methods (for example: cash, check) available on the assisted registration page can now be disabled for any organization.
This allows the country admins to ensure all revenues are collected online, thereby reducing their administrative burden and also that of teachers / organizers, who no longer need to remember to deposit the revenue that would have been collected by offline methods.
This feature can be enabled for your organization by contacting the support team by raising a ticket.
Organizations that pay honorarium to their teachers as a % of the course revenue can choose to get the honorarium amount automatically added as an expense on the CAF, where the total amount is split equally among all the teachers of that course. The CAF reviewer can adjust these amounts if needed.
This reduces the burden on teachers / organizers / Finance Admins to have to calculate the honorarium amounts and then add them manually on the CAF as an expense item for each teacher.
This feature can be enabled for your organization by contacting the support team by raising a ticket.
