Door Tablet V3.4

Door Tablet Room Booking and Scheduling.

V3.4 was released released on 11 January 2014, and the latest tablet app is ready on the Apple app store.

What is in this release...

1. Support for monthly rental licensing
2. Fresh update of the Mobile Interface framework
3. Improved styling and use of fonts
4. New Web UI features in the reservation calendar
5. Usage of Time Zones and private Time Zones for both the Door Tablet server and clients (tablets and PCs)
6. Simplification of the server connection registration
7. Few bug fixes on both the server and tablet apps

Monthly rental licensing
With this feature you can now rent Door Tablet and its server for a small fixed monthly fee.  The fee is charged quarterly.  Once a quarter is paid you are issued with your license which you then use to enable the rooms on your Door Tablet server.

Mobile Interface framework
We have upgraded the framework to allows us to continue and add more features to the client applications while retaining its high performance and ease of use.

Styling and fonts
We increased the sized of some buttons and ensured consistent use of fonts, particularly in the Door Display.

Web UI Calendar improvements
The Reservation Calendar had major works to improve its usability.  You can now view reservations in different time zones, your own working hours range and even decided if you want to see weekend slots.

Time Zones
With his release we no longer assume that tablets are in the same time zone as the server.  From the Web UI or the Notes Client UI you can now define Time Zones, reduce these to only use zones used in your business and employ these zones on both the main server setup and rooms.  You can also use the Zones when using the reservations calendar.  Please note that this applies to Microsoft Exchange users only

Server Connection
From this release of Door Tablet you no longer need to specify server technology.  The system was upgraded to allow us to integrate with more scheduling servers in a way that is transparent to the clients software (tablets or PCs)

Bug fixes
As with every build we find some things we need to fix or improve and no exception this time.
