August 27, 2007—PeopleCube, a leader in on-demand calendaring, resource and event management solutions, has released the latest version of Resource Scheduler, its popular room, resource and office hoteling management solution for organizations of all sizes.
This new release, available on-demand or on-premise, includes several usability enhancements to improve reservation workflow and the overall end user experience, says the company.
The updated user interface in this latest release of Resource Scheduler simplifies and accelerates the resource scheduling workflow by allowing users to click directly in the calendar at the desired date and time to make a reservation, says PeopleCube. Additional usability enhancements made to the application interface include scrollable information displays that make it easier for users to access and view information from within the application.
The latest release of Resource Scheduler also includes usability enhancements to facilitate conflict resolution for recurring reservations. When a recurring reservation is created, Resource Scheduler automatically identifies any corresponding conflicts for the requested resource(s) and easily allows the user to search for alternate resources during those conflicting times.
New functionality has also been added to the Resource Scheduler for Outlook/Exchange module as part of this new release to help streamline the reservation workflow from within the Outlook calendaring environment. For example, the release includes a new utility for easily distributing Outlook forms to users, and a new reporting utility for administrators that helps them determine a user’s installed version status. This aids administrators who need to periodically ensure all users on the network are running synchronized versions of the application. Further, Resource Scheduler for Outlook/Exchange also now supports Outlook 2007.
Resource Scheduler is the leading Web-based resource management solution for businesses, universities and other organizations looking to manage, utilize and schedule shared resources throughout the organization. For more information, see the PeopleCube Web site.
