Room Schedule/Room Booking Card Release Notes

These release notes provide information on the new features, enhancements, resolved escalations, and bug fixes completed in each release of the Room Booking card.

v 1.34

Release Date: 15 Oct 2024

FEATURE IMPROVEMENTS

Currently, the Room Schedule card redirects users to the general Appspace website (appspace.com) instead of the intended room booking page. This occurs when the cross-launch URL retrieval API fails during card startup, triggering a fallback mechanism that defaults to the Appspace website. The issue persists until the device is rebooted.

To resolve this issue, a refresh mechanism with exponential fallback has been implemented to recover from API errors and ensure correct redirection to the room booking page.

FIXED BUGS

• CT-4041 – Card libraries for integrations are outdated.

v 1.33

Release Date: 5 Dec 2023

FEATURE IMPROVEMENTS

As part of the Reservation service improvements during event syncing on the Room Schedule and Schedule Board card, the device property, the “player.reservations.events.pollingintervalseconds” device property was introduced allowing administrators to configure the events polling interval.

In conjunction with the Orion release, both the Room Schedule and Schedule Board card will include the Status Refresh Interval drop-down menu, available in the Booking Options section via the card editor, for a better user experience when configuring the events polling interval.

These content categories can be changed during card creation by the Publisher or Author, as the card theme has been assigned a content category based on the messaging focus. These content categories are defined as follows:

• Productivity & Engagement – content with information that keeps the company running, day-to-day, facilitating organizational productivity.
• Safety & Compliance – content with information that supports employee safety and ensures company compliance with regulatory requirements, to help create a safe environment and promote safe behavior amongst employees.

Users will also be able to view the Content Category for every piece of content within a channel playlist. However, cards created prior to this release will not contain a content category, and will be considered as “Unassigned”.
