New and Improved Features

Time Estimate when Deleting Calendars
  • Now, you can see about how long it might take to delete a calendar. Once you select the items to delete in the Event Calendar setup window, a message gives you an estimated time and asks if you want to continue. Click Yes to continue with the deletion. This may be the perfect time for a coffee break!

    Example of deleting event calendars with the pop-up message giving an estimate of 2 minutes to complete

All or Any Selections on Listing Screens
  • When filtering a column on listing screens, you can now select whether to apply any of your conditions or all of them. Selecting Any of these means that your conditions are not dependent on each other, and an entry will display in the grid if it meets one or more of your conditions. If you select All of these, then an entry must meet all of your conditions in order to display in the grid.

  • For example, let's say we filter the Seating Capacity column with two conditions: "Greater than 25" and "Less than 100". If you choose Any of these, then facilities with a capacity over 25 OR under 100 will display... which is every facility in your data. In this case, to see facilities with a seating capacity between these numbers, you'd want to choose All of these. That way, only those with capacity over 25 AND under 100 will display.

    Example showing the Facility listing screen filter for seating capacity

Long-Term Backups
  • You may notice a new option when backing up and restoring your data. Select Back up to the Long-Term Backup folder for the more important backups you want to keep on a long-term basis. When you need to restore data, you can select from the Long-Term Backup internal archive folder. Note that the long-term location should not be used for every backup, only those that are most important.

  • If there are other users in the program when you try to back up your data, you're now prompted to notify them to save their work and exit so you can complete the backup. See Notify and Dismiss Other Users to learn how that feature works.
