New features and enhancements
The 2018 R1.0 features are automatically enabled and ready for you to use.
Event attendance and room setups (CR0122346, CR0130346, CR0130453)
Prior to 2018 R1.0, Delphi Diagramming used a room's maximum capacity to create room plans, which often meant you had to modify each room plan to reflect the number of people actually attending the event. Now Delphi Diagramming does that work for you.
Simply enter the event attendance, and Delphi Diagramming uses that value to set the appropriate number of seats. This makes it easy to personalize your function space for potential customers and provide your operations team with details they need to successfully execute the event. This feature is available in both Property and Website editions, as well as in Delphi integrations.
If Delphi Diagramming is integrated with Delphi at your property, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Delphi Diagramming uses the Set attendance to create room plans. If Set isn't entered, Guaranteed is used, and then Agreed.
- After a room plan is created, any changes you make to the event in Delphi are not reflected in Delphi Diagramming and vice versa.
Enhanced Exhibit seating style
The Exhibit seating style has been enhanced in both Website and Property editions to make it easier for you to detail those room plans. Here are the new updates you’ll find in 2018 R1.0:
- Designing room plans with back-to-back exhibit booths used to be a multi-step process, but with the new Place Back to Back option in Automatic Layout mode, exhibit booths can be set up in no time.
- After you’ve set up your exhibit booths, use the new Numbering option to automatically number each booth in the room plan. You can also use this option to specify which numbers you don’t want displayed.
- Use the Capacity Editor to enter maximum capacities for rooms that are configured to allow exhibits. Exhibit capacities are displayed as booths rather than attendees.
Before you can take advantage of these features, your Delphi Diagramming administrator needs to enable exhibit booths for the appropriate function rooms in the new Layout Editor. This makes the Exhibit setup style available for those rooms in Automatic Layout mode. Your administrator can also use the Layout Editor to set defaults, such as booth size, booth direction, and aisle size—ensuring that exhibit booths are drawn to the correct size and scale when they’re added to a room plan.
You must be assigned the Layout Editor permission to be able to access this window—this includes the Delphi Diagramming administrator.
Retain original front aisle (CR0129891)
A new Retain Original Front Aisle Width option maintains the original front aisle width regardless of any stage-related objects (Stage, Dance Floor, Podium, Head Table, and/or Screen) that are placed in the room plan. All seating style objects that overlap the staging objects are removed.
Keyboard shortcut update (CR0130455)
Keyboard shortcuts for grouping and ungrouping selected objects have been updated to SHIFT+G and SHIFT+H, respectively.
To... | You used to do this... | Now do this... |
Group Selected Objects | CTRL+G | SHIFT+G |
Ungroup Selected Objects | CTRL+H | SHIFT+H |
An updated table of all Delphi Diagramming keyboard shortcuts is found here: Keyboard shortcuts.
