Tighter Integration with Microsoft Outlook® 1 |
Sending email from within EMS is now easier than ever! Access your Microsoft Outlook contacts –
as well as the contacts in your EMS database – with just a click. |
|
Numerous Navigator Improvements1 |
EMS users tend to spend a lot of time on the Navigator window, so our product development
team does too! New features include an Event/Reserved Time display option, room availability
indicator when moving a booking, alerts on comments and more. |
|
Redesigned Virtual EMS Interface2 |
The web is changing every day, and Virtual EMS is changing with it. The system has been
rebuilt to take advantage of new web development technology that creates a richer, more
robust user experience. |
|
Customizable Window Layouts1 |
Changes a user makes to the layout of any window in EMS are now saved and used the next
time the window is opened. From resizing to rearranging columns – set the system up in the
way that works best for you. |
|
Streamlined Navigator/Reservation Book Option Maintenance1 |
A new window for maintaining Navigator and Reservation Book options is now available, making
it easier to set and modify both the existing options and a number of new ones. |
|
Simplified Access to Web-Based Info1 |
URL fields throughout the system (including new ones on buildings and rooms) now convert
entries to clickable hyperlinks, making it much easier to access information on the reservation,
group, etc. that is being edited. |
|
Instant Access to Essential Follow-up Items1 |
The new Dashboard window lists reminders, web requests, wait listed bookings and more to
help you stay on top of all event-related tasks. |
|
New Resource Statistics Report1 |
Get a better handle on resource utilization with the new Resource Statistics report, which
lists all of the resources used during a specified period, showing quantity and total hours
used for each item. |
|
Multiple Reservation Book Enhancements1 |
Already one of the most widely-used tools in the system, the Reservation Book is now even
more powerful. Numerous enhancements have been made to “the Book,” including: user-defined
room sequence, current time indicator; Services, Group Phone, Group Email, Event Type as tool
tip options; printable weekly view and more. |
