BookingPOINT 5 Release Notes

Other versions: Version 6Version 4Version 3

Version 5.3.9

Fix: Borrower Import was failing to import phone, email, mobile and notes correctly.

Fix: Borrower Privileges Import would sometimes keep old data as well as the newly imported data.

Fix: Week View Bookings screen would sometimes flash pink when accessing the screen.

Change: Improved import so it no longer displays unnecessary ‘Import Options’ dialog.

Change: The Borrower Details section (previously called Contact Details) now stretches when the window is resized to show more content.

Change: [Web only] Moved office hours to appear inside booking edit window for more visibility.

Version 5.3.8

Fix: Booking resources for Borrowers that had the ‘Ignore Term Breaks’ privilege option was setting a return date that spanned the whole term break.

Change: Due to limitations of FileMaker, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge, we are forced to revert a feature we recently added back to the way it originally worked. The Terms and Conditions will no longer show any formatted text. Due to a FileMaker limitation, formatted text does not work on the web. However we addressed this by using an alternative method, but unfortunately the alternative method is not supported by Internet Explorer and Edge and caused other issues. Therefore we have no choice but to remove formatting until FileMaker or Microsoft resolve these limitations.

Version 5.3.7

Fix: Excluding groups or individual resource items via Restrictions weren’t working as of 5.3.6.

Fix: Support / Maintenance renewal reminders were showing days remaining as negative numbers.

Fix: Clicking on a booking on either Week View or Day View screens that belonged to a borrower other than the current borrower, a blank dialog was shown instead of the booking information.

Fix: Users are correctly alerted when multiple same day bookings exist when clicking a booking via the Week View screen and that the Day View screen should be used instead.

Change: Increased the size of the fields ‘Privilege Set’, ‘Expiry Date’ and ‘Account Status’ on the Edit Privilege Set dialog.

Version 5.3.6

Fix: Duplicating a Privilege Set would always duplicate the first one in the list no matter which one was being selected for duplication.

Fix: Selecting a borrower via the Bookings screen that had Restrictions for individual resource items to be excluded from being borrowed would cause the system to hang.

Fix: When web users logged in, users that had Restrictions for individual resource items to be excluded from being borrowed would cause the system to hang.

Fix: If a borrower had multiple bookings for the same resource on the same day, none of the bookings could be edited via the Day View screen. An error message was shown asking the user to select a booking for editing via the Day View screen even though the user was already on the correct screen.

Fix: The Terms and Conditions now correctly display formatting on the web.

Fix: Exporting Resources would sometimes not show the Resource Type at all or show an outdated Resource Type.

Fix: The last update (5.3.3) only corrected the issue with corrupt Resource Types if corruption existed, however if corruption didn’t exist then version 5.3.3 could still potentially corrupt new Resource Types. This version fixes the issue.

Version 5.3.3

Fix: Anyone who updated from an older version to either version 5.3.2 or 5.3.1, may have corrupt Resource Types. Some Resource Types were using duplicate IDs and could not be renamed or deleted and showed up incorrectly on some Resources. The duplicate ID’s have been released and the affected Resource Types can now be edited and deleted. As such, some Resources and Borrower Privileges may now be pointing to the wrong Resource Types and we advise that you review all Resources and all Borrower Privileges to ensure they are all set correctly. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Fix: Printing the Resource List showed TypeID instead of the Resource Type.

Version 5.3.2

Fix: If a borrower was assigned to a privilege set that had restrictions where two or more groups were excluded, BookingPOINT would hang when viewing the borrower in the Booking screens.

Fix: When operators extended bookings, they were restricted by the maximum number of days a borrower could extend their own bookings rather than the maximum number of days an operator can extend the booking.

Fix: When borrowers extended their own bookings via the web, they were able to extend beyond the maximum number of days allowed.

Fix: The ‘Select a borrower’ pop-up dialog was retaining the old search criteria last used – it’s now being cleared each time the dialog is accessed.

Version 5.3.0

New: Block Outs now have a Type drop down with the options ‘Resource’, ‘Type’, ‘Group’ and ‘All’. A single Block Out entry can now apply to a resource, to a resource group, to a resource type, or to all resources. For example, a ‘Group’ Block Out applies to all resources within the same Resource Group and only needs to be edited once – previously every resource within the Resource Group had to have an individual Block Out.

New: As part of Restrictions, added the ability to exclude a resource group from being borrowed for a privilege set.

Change: Removed the redundant Block Out buttons ‘Apply to all in Group’, ‘Apply to all in Type’, which have been replaced with the option to specify a type against each Block Out entry.

Change: Operator name in Users/Security has been changed to one field for full name instead of two separate fields for First Name & Surname to make more room available.

Change: Previously, when using the Block Out buttons ‘Apply to all in Group’, ‘Apply to all in Type’, the current resources’ Block Outs were used to replace all the Block Outs for the Type or Group – which meant you couldn’t have different Block Outs for the individual resources within the Type or Group. Now each resource can have its own unique Block Outs, yet also share common Block Outs with the Type or Group.

Change: Bookings can now only be extended on the day the resources are due for return.
