Improved User Search, Bug Fixes & More
The latest version of the Local Tools platform has been sent live for all customers. A few especially important notes:
- Timezone and Hours: We’ve improved Timezone support in this release. Please log in and go to Settings -> Organization Info to ensure your Timezone, Hours, etc. are set correctly.
User Search & Export: We’ve improved the User search functionality and added a keyword search directly to the left navigation. Please note that this does not yet search the member id. As always you can export your member database at the bottom of any (keyword or advanced) search result.- Reservation Request Improvements: We’ve improved the messaging and notifications for the “reservations requests”. Please note that the system does not yet enforce one reservations per time period, but we do add a red warning to any item added to a shopping cart that has an upcoming reservation. You can enable reseravtion request support in your Organization Options.
Many of the changes are under the covers, and there were over 70 bug fixes and improvements in this release — and a fuller list can be found below. If you have suggestions improvements, new features or better ways to engage your users and customers, please let us know! We’re committed to building an incredible, easy to use tool library, asset tracking and lending library platform.
Lastly, please connect with us on Twitter, Facebook, and/or Google+ to keep up with what we’re doing between releases.
