Product Updates
A few of Thismoment’s new DEC product features announced this month.

Improved RSVP Event Module (Now approved for YouTube!)

Improved RSVP Event ModuleThismoment’s improved RSVP Module allows users to link their accounts and import data about an existing Facebook event into a module on their DEC. This means users have the convenience of promoting their event across multiple distribution points. The improved module can be used on all Basic DECs.

Improved Data Collection for UGC Contests

Thismoment has changed how customers gather data for UGC contests. Previously, customers were restricted to collecting additional data from user submissions only in the form of individual text fields. This presented difficulties in normalizing data from a large number of users as the option of selecting from form fields like checkboxes, radio buttons, and pull-down was not available. The improvements to UGC contest data collection mean each field can now be fully customized with its own input format.
Improved Data Collection
