Newsletter Issue 3 - 8 January 2015

Google Calendar

We are pleased to announce the availability of a new platform for Door Tablet - Google Calendar.  The addition of the platform places Door Tablet in a unique position where it is the only server that supports all of the three scheduling technologies in one product: Microsoft Exchange (and all its variants including Office 365), IBM Domino and of course Google Calendar.  The architecture of the connection is described here.

If you are planning to make the switch to Google Calendar - your Door Tablet investment is secured . No changes are required to the Door Tablet client devices or public displays.

Are you using SalesForce?

SalesForce uses Google Calendar.  Door Tablet, as described above, now integrates with Google Calendar and is consequently compatible with Salesforce.  Please let us know if you use SalesForce and wish to evaluate Door Tablet's integration with it.

Coming up

Our development team is very busy preparing for the next release of Door Tablet.  The focus of the release will be to bring intelligent understanding of resource utilisation using Google Universal Analytics.  The team is also hard at work on SMS integration in which Door Tablet will utilise our sister product, smsPULSE.  Stay tuned.

New alerts

When you plan a meeting using a resource (room or desk) in which a check-in is required, if you do not check in on time your booking is removed and the resource becomes free.  This is acceptable if you failed to use the resource but is problematic if you are there and simply forgot to check in.  From this version, Door Tablet will email you a reminder that you need to check in if you have not done so, and it does so a few minutes after the meeting has begun. The reminder to check in applies to both single room displays and cluster displays.

Continuing improvements to Cluster Displays

We fixed a number of issues surrounding the display, including handling of names with underscores (_) and, most importantly, with automatic cancellation of reservations.  We continue to listen to our clients and we are certain users will appreciate our on-going improvements.

Ending 2014 with a bang

Door Tablet was a success in 2014 and we expect to go above and beyond in 2015.  We thank you for your continued interest in Door Tablet and are happy to answer any and all questions you may have.
