Hi there,

We are excited to let you know that we've revamped how the way sessions work at Hyra and makes it easier and convenient for everyone to create and host a session. Take a look at today's changelog!

Session Policies

Session Policies allows workspace administrators to control how many sessions users can claim as host during the current assignment period.

This feature also allows them to limit which events can a staff member host.

If a staff member has already reached their maximum sessions hosted, a notification will appear. However, if the workspace administrators enabled "Allow override" in the session policy, staff members can go past the limit by clicking the button below the notification.

Schedule-ahead Adhoc Sessions

In this update, staff members can now schedule-ahead any adhoc sessions. They can select any time during the day they would like to schedule their session and click Save.

Workspace Administrators can limit the minimum gap between sessions to how many maximum sessions per day in the session settings under the Adhoc section.

Customizable Sessions

In this update, staff members can now also customize the look of a session by changing it's name, banner, description and time of a session.

To customize your session, simply click the 3 dots on the upper-right corner of the session.

Please do note that you'll need the following permission:

  • Change name of adhoc session (for name, banner and description)
  • Change time of adhoc session
