Append to selected memberships
Everywhere you can click a membership number to display the whole record, you can now also use the common gesture CTRL+click (PC)

Select bookings by status

Map links for event venues
For some time, venues for events have had a menu where you can select the venue’s location as a point on a map. So far, Cameo has done nothing useful with this information. Now, however, you can use it to include a map link alongside the venue name in all the places where it may be helpful. Read More…
Improvements to table of templates
In communications → templates:
* There’s a new column for last change by in addition to the last change on column that’s been there for a while
* Also a filter on last change by
* There’s only one pin now instead of three
* Cameo no longer copies other people’s pins when you copy a template. Read More…
Discount codes
A new section, trading → discount codes, lets you define codes with various properties, like value and validity dates. You can then offer a box in forms which take payment, for members or customers to obtain that discount. The discount codes section also summarises which codes have been used, when and who by.
Initially, you can use these codes with the join form. We’ll extend this to other forms such as shopping (merchandise) and booking (for events) in future. Read More…
Contact form can now ask for phone number
The contact form type, which allows people to sign up as contacts, can now request a phone number. Tick the relevant box in the form options to include it. Choose either optional (they don’t have to provide it) or required (they must put at least something in the box). Read More…
New addresses for sending emails to Cameo
In future, Cameo will handle its own incoming email directly (instead of checking a separate mailbox every so often). New addresses look like this: destination@to.cameo.example.com
To introduce this in a controlled way, we need to change the addresses you send to. The old addresses will continue to work for the next few weeks, but please start using the new addresses now. Read More…
