General

  • Added: "Flexopus - Device Connect" App for Android TV
    The "Flexopus - Device Connect" App is now also available for Android TV. This means that any TV with a current Android TV operating system or a Chromecast device can reliably be used as a Flexopus display. The app can be installed from the Play Store and once it is launched, the TV remains on and is set to automatically start when the TV is turned on.

  • Added: Integration of Google Calendar Resources with Flexopus
    Connect your Flexopus instance with Google Workspace to synchronize bookings from Google Calendar resources. To utilize this functionality, you need to assign the resource email addresses from Google Workspace to the bookable objects in Flexopus.
    → To the help article: Google Workspace (Synchronize Calendar Resources)
  • Added: Synchronization of Google Groups with Flexopus
    An integration has been added that synchronizes "Google Groups" with Flexopus via the Google Directory API. This integration uses domain-wide delegation for accessing and synchronizing information.
    → To the help article: Google Workspace (Synchronize Google Groups)
  • Added: Synchronize Working Location with Google
    In the personal Google Calendar, the working location from Flexopus can be synchronized. This could be, for example, home office or workplace bookings, including building, floor and object name.

  • Added: Flexopus available in the Webex App Hub
    With our WebEx integration, you can deploy Flexopus directly through the Webex App Hub for the members of your organization. This allows you to integrate Flexopus directly into Webex, thus enabling bookings within the familiar Webex environment without switching programs.
    → To the help article: Webex Application
  • Added: Webex SSO OAuth 2.0 Integration
    Utilize Single Sign-On conveniently with our Webex OAuth 2.0 integration and control access with a targeted domain whitelist. This allows users to log in to Flexopus using their Webex credentials.
    → To the help article: Webex (OAuth2.0 SSO)
  • Added: Linking External Resources with All Object Types
    External resources from Google Workspace or Microsoft Exchange Online can now be connected and synchronized with all object types. Previously, this was only possible with meeting rooms.
    → To the help article: Google Resources or Microsoft Exchange Online
  • Added: Assignment of users to cost centers (BETA)
    Cost centers can now be created in the admin area. A user can be assigned exactly one cost center. This assignment remains visible and usable in exports of bookings. Furthermore, the cost center remains intact even after anonymization of personal data, allowing for long-term assignment of bookings to cost centers for internal billing purposes.
    → To the help article: Cost Centers

Admin Side

  • Added: Different Check-in Deadlines per Booking Type
    If the check-in feature is activated, different deadlines for checking in can now be defined for each booking type. This can be used, for example, if shorter check-in times are desired for meeting rooms. If the booking is not checked in within the deadline, then the booking expires.
    → To the help article: Check-In
  • Added: Flexopus Supports Multiple SAML2 Connections
    From now on, multiple SAML2 connections can also be optionally set up. This allows, for example, multiple organizations to be connected to a Flexopus instance, in order to use office space as efficiently as possible.
    → To the help article: SSO Connection
  • Added: Automatically Deactivate Inactive Users After x Days
    Inactive users can be automatically deactivated after a certain number of inactive days. This allows for better security mechanisms and deletion concepts to be established, to remove former users.
    → To the help article: Admin Settings
  • Added: General Presentation Optimizations
    The presentation and grouping of information, especially in the admin area, has been optimized, for a better user experience.

Client Side

  • Added: New User and Object Search with Additional Filters
    The user and object search has been revised. This allows for more targeted searches to be conducted. For example, user groups such as first responders or fire safety assistants, or general teams or departments (if these user groups are assigned) can be found at specific locations or floors.
  • Fixed: Too Long Equipment Features Are Correctly Shortened
  • Fixed: The Booking Calendar View Correctly Considers the Booking Limit
