A new column for the new location will be added.

Click on the 3 grey lines and drag the location to the correct place.

Menu
You can choose to use a menu in your calendar.
Go to the 'Setup menu' option in the calendar.

In the screen below you can setup this menu and an example is shown in the left corner of the screen.

There are several settings you can make. For example to hide items in the menu or automatically expand the menu when people visit the site. This provides quick access to search and view lists of all the sessions, posters and abstracts. When disabled the menu will initially be collapsed and needs to be expanded manually.

A 'Login Page' is now available for your public modules, allowing you to only grant registered participants access to your public program. Additionally, you will find a new setting in the Public Module Settings requiring these participants to have a neutral or positive balance, ensuring that only participants who have completed all of their payments are allowed into your website.

Please be aware that this page is disabled by default and must first be enabled on the 'Page Editor' page.
