32. LobbyCentral Cloud Version 3.7.0 Released [8-30-16]

Updates and New Features

This is a minor release containing mostly fixes and a couple of new features.

Web Kiosk Profiles

You can now create a kiosk profile to set the various options that are shown on the kiosk start-up screen. With the profile, you no longer need to have a username and password to start the kiosk.  Simply select the profile and enter the authorization token.   This allows you to manage kiosk options from LobbyCentral's administration page.

IMPORTANT! The Kiosk Profile selection is currently not available at the kiosk. We are giving customers time to create profiles before the kiosk is updated.  Once the kiosk has been updated, the startup options at the kiosk will no longer be available.  Please make sure you have created your profiles to ensure a smooth transition.  

Employee Working Hours

You can now set a user's working schedule which is used when scheduling an appointment. 

To set the user's hours, go to Administration, Users and click the Working Hours tab.

Service Duration

You can now set the duration of services that you provide.   This value is used when creating an appointment.

The default duration is 60 minutes.

To set the duration of a service, go to Administration, Visit Reasons / Services. 

Additional Notification Sound Styles

Four new notification styles have been added to the User Preference screen.  Users can preview the sound by clicking the speaker icon next to the selected style.
