Software Release 05/06/2024
Bookit deployed the below changes into the live production system overnight. Should you require further information in regards to any of the below features, please reach out to our friendly Bookit Support team who will be more than happy to help.
New Functionality:
MFA - Multi Factor Authentication
Stage 3 MFA has now been released to all users.
Booking Centres will no longer be able to change passwords for operators. All operators will be responsible for password resets via the Manage Account functionality in their dashboard.
In addition, the Forget Password link is fully functional for all operator accounts and staff access.
Usernames are unable to be edited, including by Bookit Support staff
Upgraded Functionality:
Affiliate Consoles Hybrid Booking Gadget
A new hybrid booking gadget has been released for all affiliate consoles attached to Bookit consoles.
The improved gadget, in addition to receiving a major facelift, includes additional filtering functionality, plus a map view.
When booking a Bookit Advanced client, the gadget also allows selection of room/unit numbers, if the functionality is enabled within the operator console.
Report Builder - New BookingNights table
A new table BookingNights has been added to the Report Builder.
Fields linked to this table include DayofWeek, StayDate, NightCostEstimate. This allow extra levels of reporting, including showing date based on a Stay Date, rather than Arrival/Departure.
Guest Self Serve Modifications - Changes to Modification Policies
For centres with the Bulk Refunds Add On.
If a configurable modification policy is edited/added in a console, the guest must agree to the change in terms & conditions when modifying a booking online.
POS - Point of Sale Payment Screens
There is a slight tweak to the payment page within POS, removing the Quick Checkout functionality.
This is a prelude to an exciting project where Bookit will soon have integrated eftpos terminals, which connects with travel bookings, plus POS.
Bug Fixes:
