We have kicked off the second quarter of this year building some great functionality that we are looking forward to sharing with you.
Enhanced Calendar Integration:
We understand the importance of seamless calendar integration for managing bookings effectively. That's why we've introduced the ability for your team to receive ICS files for bookings, allowing them to easily add them to their personal calendars. This feature can be enabled in Notifications->Equipment->Confirmations, ensuring that your team stays organized and informed.
Equipment Labelling for Premium and Enterprise Customers:
We understand the importance of efficient equipment management in your lab environment. That's why we're delighted to announce the upcoming release of equipment labelling functionality for our premium and enterprise customers. Administrators and instructors will now have the ability to create custom labels for equipment, enhancing visibility and enabling seamless searching from the equipment overview table. Additionally, this feature will extend to announcements, providing more options for creating and organizing announcements within your account.
Early End Bookings Feature:
In our ongoing efforts to optimize equipment utilization, we're introducing a new tool that empowers users in Premium and Enterprise accounts to end bookings early if they find that they no longer require the full allocated time slot. This feature is designed to foster higher utilization rates within your lab, ensuring that resources are utilized efficiently and effectively.
Project Update: Equipment Dependency Management:
Embarking on a larger-scale project, we're excited to announce the development of functionality that enables the creation of dependencies between equipment within your lab. This feature will allow you to define if a piece of equipment requires the automatic booking of additional equipment or rooms, based on specific dependencies. Whether it's block bookings or room blocking, this functionality will provide unparalleled flexibility in managing your lab resources.
We've already initiated several workshop calls with customers to gather insights and define the scope of this functionality. As we continue to develop this feature, we're committed to incorporating your feedback and ensuring that it evolves in ways that meet your needs.
Bug Fixes and Site Optimization:
As always, we've been hard at work squashing bugs and optimizing the site for improved performance. Our commitment to delivering a smooth and reliable user experience remains unwavering, and we're dedicated to ensuring that your interaction with our platform is as seamless as possible.
Thank you for your continued support and feedback. We're committed to delivering innovative solutions that empower you to achieve your goals efficiently. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, feel free to reach out to our support team with any questions or suggestions.
