Door Tablet V6.5

Newsletter Issue 5 - 14 May 2015

Door Tablet 6.4 and 6.5

This news letter covers developments since the last such letter and therefore contains information about version 6.4 as well.

Office 365 and EWS

With this release we have upgraded the entire Exchange Web Services (EWS) library and are happy to announce the availability of Door Tablet on ALL EWS platforms, including the latest Office 365.  With the previous version we encountered a range of connectivity issues on Office 365 and Exchange 2007 when using own certificates.  We are also publishing an extensive document describing, step by step, how to connect and manage Office 365 resources.  You can read it here.

Wayfinding Displays

We have improved our wayfinding displays (previously called public displays) by adding direction arrows.  The arrows are easily managed and integrate intelligently with your resources.  We offer 5 arrow sets in different colors each with 12 arrows.  You can also create your own custom arrows, add them to Door Tablet and use these in your Arrow Sets.

Reservations Made Easy

There is a new display option when making ad-hoc reservations on a Single Room Display, and Cluster Display.  You can now specify the time slots you wish to use so that users just touch the duration, such as 30 minutes, 45 minutes and so on.  This replaces the Slider.  You decide how to label the buttons.  Read more here.


Licensing

Licensing of Door Tablet installations is now simpler thanks to the introduction of a new Licensing page.  You may now easily deploy and list your license utilization in one place.  The feature is available using the Web UI only.  Read more  here.


Other Enhancements

Added new alerts to the Google Universal Analytics (UA) module in the event it encountered an issue with Analytics which prevents it from continuing to post statistics.

Added new animated Resume Display.

Fixes

  1. Resolved an issue with the new Google Universal Analytics (UA) module where in some cases it stops after End of Day (EOD) processing.  In such cases a manual restart would have been required.
  2. When extending or terminating a meeting the display would not refresh immediately, leaving the impression the function may have not worked, IBM Domino only.
  3. Multiple Extensions were possible for the same meeting, IBM Domino only.
  4. Solved a problem with Redundant Alerts sent to user asking them to Check-in after they had already checked-in.  This happened if a short meeting was canceled and a new one created to replace it.
  5. Fixed screen dimming issue for Apple iPad devices  
  6. Removed one pixel white column on tablet displays, Android and iOS

Get your Door Tablet Hardware

We are now providing a complete solution which contains licenses, enclosures, PoE electronics and of course tablets. And if you like to buy just the enclosure or PoE the quotation tool will allow you to pick the components you need.  Our recommendation for tablets is Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1" or similar.  Our PoE offering allows you to seamlessly connect your displays to your local network and power them at the same time.  And if you like just a networking solution with local power this can be provided too (please contact us for the price of this last item).  To access the On-line Quotation Tool please login to your dashboard.

Prices

Our software license prices will go up at the end of this month, May 2015, by around 25%.  The reason for this rise is simple: the product demands it.  Even with the new prices Door Tablet, combined with the new hardware offering, provides a very competitive solution.   Of course, any existing quotes will be honored until the expiry date.
