• Added: Option to disable check-in for a specific object type
  Admins have the option to enable or disable mandatory check-in for specific object types in the booking settings. By default, the values are based on the global default settings. This feature allows admins to customize the check-in requirements based on the specific needs of their organization. For example, they can choose to make check-in mandatory for work stations but optional for parking.
• Added: Option to force check-in for bookings from external calendar resources
  Admins can enable mandatory check-in for bookings made through external integrations like Microsoft or Google. Previously, bookings from external calendar resources did not have to be checked in if the check-in feature was activated. If this new option is activated, external bookings must also be checked in, otherwise, the booking will canceled. This feature is deactivated by default.

Admin Side

• Added: Half-year and full-year time range options in building analytics
  Admins now can access detailed analytics regarding their building's performance over predefined time frames – half-year and full-year. This feature provides valuable insights into usage patterns, trends, and overall efficiency within the facility. By analyzing data over these periods, administrators can make informed decisions to optimize their operations, improve resource allocation, and enhance the overall user experience.
• Added: Assign cost center during user import
  This is only relevant if the cost center module is enabled. When importing users into the system, administrators now can assign a specific cost center to each user. This feature streamlines the process of organizing and tracking expenses related to bookings and usage of facilities within the building. By assigning cost centers during user import, administrators can easily allocate costs and monitor budget allocations more efficiently.
• Added: Allow SSO users to set a password on their accounts via the password reset feature
  Admins can enable, that SSO users can additionally set a password on their accounts via the password reset feature. This new feature provides SSO users with the flexibility to create and manage their passwords directly within the system. By utilizing the password reset feature, SSO users can easily update their passwords as needed. This feature is deactivated by default.
• Fixed: The map editor has undergone a facelift and enhanced performance for larger maps
  This update includes enhancements to the quality of the maps, validations to ensure accuracy and overall improvements to the user experience. The updated map editor now allows for smoother navigation, better visualization of building layouts, and more efficient editing capabilities. These changes aim to streamline the map editing process, making it easier for administrators to create and manage building layouts effectively.

Client Side

• Added: Select booking start and end time by typing
  Users now have the option to input their desired booking start and end times by simply typing them in, providing a more convenient and efficient way to schedule their bookings. This feature streamlines the booking process, allowing users to quickly enter specific time slots without the need for manual selection. By typing in their preferred start and end times, users can easily customize their bookings to suit their specific needs and preferences.
• Added: Show check-in status on current bookings in search results if check-in is enabled
  The check-in states of bookings are shown in the search results, in case the check-in feature is enabled. This enhancement allows users to easily see who is already checked in for their object booking directly from the search results. 
• Added: Show facility management email on building info block
  

  Users now can view the email address of their facility management directly on the building info block within the floor plan, if this has been stored in the building information by an admin. This new feature provides users with quick access to contact facility management via email for any urgent issues, inquiries, or feedback.
