Regular Software Feature Updates from Curate
The best thing about Curate as your software solution? We LISTEN - very well, if we must say so - to what our clients say they want and expect in an event management software.
These wonderful updates are a result of our above average listening skills. Check them out!
User Roles
Are you adding a new user to your account and want to limit their access to your company settings? You can now do so in the User tab! This way they'll only be able to see notifications but your pricing profiles, integrations, and other company-wide settings will be secure from accidental touches.
Event Owner First and Last Name Tokens
You can now customize your proposals further by using the event owner first name and last name tokens! This is a perfect chance to update your email templates so they're more personable with the event owner's name automatically included.
Photo Upload to Forms
CurateProposal user can now create an upload property to add to their forms! This will allow clients and potential clients to upload up to five inspiration images that you can easily import into your proposals from your image library.
Have you been waiting to add Curate because of this feature? Well, let's get started now!
E-Signature Verification
You and your clients will now need to check off a box confirming that you acknowledge that your e-signature is legally binding. This upgrade gives you the best possible legal protection and is standardized across other e-signing softwares.
Optional Secondary Signatory
You can also choose whether or not to make the second customer a signatory on each of your events. This is perfect for when only the bride is paying and signing but you want to include the groom's information too.
Event Number Tokens
You can now reference your event numbers in your emails to clients (or even in their proposals) with the simple insertion of an event number token.
Outlook Calendar Integration
Each of your team members can now sync the events they own to their personal Outlook calendars by setting up the integration in their account tab.
Reference ID
You can now add a reference ID to all of your library items for an easier ordering experience with your suppliers. This will show up next to the item name in lists from both the Gameplan and Order tabs.
Cups and Teaspoons
Curate now supports the use of cups and teaspoons in your library! Just add in the details of how many ounces of the product makes up 1 cup to start using cups and teaspoons in your recipes.
Customize Order Email
You can now customize the subject line of your supplier order to help maintain smooth communication and records.
Sales Report
Have multiple sales people set up in Curate? You can now see each user's close rate and the value of the events they own. Just go to the Reports tab, select the Sales report and date range, and generate your report.

Remove Chat Icon
We've made updates to our chat icon that will be especially helpful for users who work from mobile devices. You can now hit the little X over the chat box to remove the chat from your screen for a smoother experience. Need to reach out? Just refresh the page and the chat box will reappear!
Billing Tab
We're making it easier to manage your account by moving the Billing tab to Settings (Company). Here you can also upgrade your account or add users with a few clicks.
Event Gameplan
You can now create custom game plans for all of your events. This can include internal tasks--such as when flower processing needs to be done, who is in charge of which arrangements, and when to deliver items--and tasks for the client--such as when final changes can be made. You can select which tasks can be viewed by the client so you can keep it all in one place and streamline your internal processes.
Not currently using Curate? Let's change that!
Create Templates
Did you know that creating an event template saves an average of 15 minutes per proposal? To create a template, duplicate out one of your existing proposals that has all the usual stuff you'd like to include (cover image, standard set of line items, tax rates, payment plan, contract, etc.,). Be sure to change the stage to template, then customize the template to your liking.
View Full Size Photos
Gone are the days of having to download photos from your proposal to see them in full size. You and your clients can now click the icons of photos in your proposal to bring them to full size.
Forms Update
You can now add notes to your form submissions and add tags to them too. This is perfect for keeping track of potential clients who've filled out an interest form but haven't committed to a consultation yet. You can also do a mass archive/unarchive of forms by hovering over the left hand side of each line to select which events you would like to select.
