BookingPOINT is a powerful resource booking system designed for universities, colleges and other educational institutions, and helps them better manage resources and assets.

New: Added a new tab in Preferences called ‘SMS’ so users can configure SMS settings.

New: Added automatic version checking every 7 days at startup.

New: Added new tab in Preferences called ‘Update/Renewal’. This new tab allows users to check for updates and renew their Support / Maintenance plan.

New: As a once-off, users will be asked to enter their license key at startup up in order to configure the automatic renewal reminders.

New: Scanning barcodes into fields will automatically trigger it’s function if the barcode scanner returns a carriage return. This also applies if the user hits the return key after typing the barcode. This replaces the need to manually click on a button after each scan.

Change: A minimum of FileMaker version 10 is required for BookingPOINT 4.1.0.

Change: Improved script schedules (Deluxe Only). Important: after updating to 4.1.0 you will need to point your FileMaker server schedules to the new scheduler scripts. Refer to you documentation entitled ‘Installing BookingPOINT Deluxe’.

Change: Merged ‘Operators’ tab and ‘Privileges’ tab in Preferences onto one tab called ‘Users/Security’ to allow room for new tabs.

Change: Email Authentication password in preferences now displays ‘*****’ to hide the password.

Fix: When returning resources from service before the return date, you could not book the resource from the Day View screen.

Fix: If you create a duplicate Borrower student No then navigate to List View, the system would allow you to create a duplicate Borrower record.

Fix: In some instances operators were able to edit Resource records and Borrower records even though their privileges did not allow it.

Fix: In some instances borrowers were not receiving overdue email notices when a resource was overdue by between 30 minutes and 1 day. In this event borrowers were likely to never receive their overdue email even after 1 day.
