Interface improvements - Mobile, Dashboard and Room Booking

Indico Mobile

We are proud to present the new mobile version of Indico. Now, whenever you connect to Indico from a mobile device, you will be able to choose whether you want to use the traditional interface or a simpler mobile-friendly version.

Brand new category browsing interface

The category browsing interface has now a much fresher look, and a layout that better adapts to tablets and other devices with smaller screens.

Favorites and Dashboard

Now you can have "favorite categories" - categories that you want to follow. Just click on the button at the corner of the page, and the category in question will be added to your list. Then, from your Dashboard ("My profile" link in the blue bar), you will be able to see what is going on in your favorite categories. The Dashboard also allows you to know which events you are taking part in.

New Room Booking interface

Booking a room has never been easier. Based on the feedback we got from our users and standard usability practices, we have come up with an interface that is simpler and more efficient. You can now search for rooms as you write and check the availability of more than one room at the same time. This is still a quite experimental interface, so, don't hesitate to send us your feedback on it.

New Event Log interface

We have also thought about event managers in particular. One of the interfaces that had for a long time been waiting for improvement was the event log. Now, if you click the "Logs" link from any event's management area, you will be shown a clean and functional interface that allows you to quickly get to know what has been happening with your event.

  • Lectures - Added functionality to grant Submission Rights to Speakers
  • Paper Reviewing - Granted Paper Review managers, referees and reviewers permission to upload papers on behalf of the author
  • Room Booking - Added option to change room after cloning a reservation
