This Christmas, we are proud to announce a major milestone in releasing Harmony XI, which provides Harmony admins with a significantly improved user experience as well as a few additional new features. We have also made some enhancements in Unity (website).

Here’s a quick overview of the new user interface for Harmony admins (for teachers and program organizers):

New Features

Harmony XI

Home Dashboard for Teachers / Organizers

The home dashboard provides you with:

1 - A snapshot of today’s programs, with links to check-in event participants

2 - Quick links to frequently used features

3 - Details of your upcoming and past courses and events

4 - Quick link to 'New Course' and 'New Event'

Universal Search

There is now an easy way to look up your courses, events or participants without having to go a specific page in Harmony, using the quick universal search available on the header of every page. Several course, event and participant related actions, such as 'View / Transfer / Refund participants' can be performed in significantly fewer steps.

New Harmony Skin

The new Harmony skin offers a collapsible navigation menu and a compact header, presenting a clean and sleek look, yet offering more features and more screen space than before, while making navigation easier and more intuitive.

New Course / Event Wizard

The new wizard flow on the New Course and New Event pages breaks the lengthy process into manageable chunks. Additionally, the fields on the page have been more logically organized making the entire announcement process easier for teachers and organizers.

One-click Participant Check-in 

Avoid having to manually keep a track of who attended and who did not attend your event. Use the new check-in page to check-in your attendees. The attendee list can be filtered easily by entering the attendee’s name, email or phone, and can be checked in using a single click. You can also add notes related to that particular participant. This page also allows you to add new on-the-spot attendees who show up at the event without having registered online.

Streamlined Page Design

Our user experience experts have made the Harmony pages more visually attractive and new enhancements have been done on these pages, such as:

Login Page

On the 'Login page' and the 'Forgot password' we now have the country drop down and the language drop.

Courses & Events Listing Page

On the find courses and find events page we now have fewer columns avoiding the bottom horizontal scroll. However the teachers and admins can view all columns by clicking ‘show all columns’. The actions button gives you quick links to take relevant actions on the page. 

The course and event strip displays quick yet relevant information regarding the particular course they are viewing. This strip is available on all pages related to a particular course or event.

Participants Listing Page

On the view participants page you can click on the three dots on the page header for quick links. In addition to that there is a filter on the side that easily allows you to search a particular participant or a set of participants using one or more parameters.

Registration for Recurring Events

Unlike earlier, online registration/RSVP is now available for free recurring events which saves program organizers the effort and pain of managing registrations offline.

Earlier there was no registration button available when you were announcing a recurring event. Now this feature is available both for recurring as well as non-recurring free events.

And now you will also have participants’ data in Harmony itself.

Unity

Quick RSVP for Events

Now the website visitors can RSVP for free events right on the event details page instead if being taken to the Harmony registration form making it easier, faster and more user friendly and increasing event sign-ups.  This is available for both, one-time and recurring events. 

Smart Search on Website

We have now made it easy for the users to search any course in any location - all they need to do is to add the required course type or the location in the smart search bar. The search bar will auto-populate relevant suggestions for courses and the location.
