FEATURE UPDATES

Features	Description	Impact/Outcome
Reservations: Enhanced Rule and Constraint Behavior	The Reservations Rules and Constraints features has been enhanced to allow Admins to configure multiple constraint rules of the same type to a single resource, allowing for better resource management via different constraint configurations.	Example: The Maximum Reservation Duration constraint for a resource that has been configured for 2 hours on weekdays, can also now be configured with 4 hours on weekends.
Reservations: New Recurring Reservations Constraint Rules	Support for the following new Reservations Constraint Rules based on recurring reservations that can be configured on a resource: Default Recurrences – how many recurrences will be suggested to users when booking this room. Max Number of Recurrences –the maximum number of recurrences that will be permitted to be scheduled. Doing it will remove the never-ending option in the reservation panel Max Lenght of Recurrences – define for how long a recurrence sequence can span out.	Currently, the default maximum meeting recurrences that can be configured is 730. If the default recurrence > the max # of recurrences, then the Max # of recurrences will be increased to match the default recurrences If the max # of recurrences < the default recurrence, then the Default recurrences will be decreased to match the max # of recurrences
Reservations: New Concurrency Reservation Constraint Rules	Support for the new Concurrency Reservation Constraint Rule enabling resources to be reserved concurrently, allowing for several reservations to be scheduled simultaneously, and only limited by the following configuration set: Max Concurrent Reservations A Specific Number of Concurrent Reservations	Example: If a resource has been configured with a specific number (2) of concurrent reservations Room A resource Concurrent Reservations = 2 Employee A = Reserves from 10:00 to 11:00 Employee B = Reservers from 10:30 – 11:30 Employee C = Reservers from 10:30 – 12:30 With the Concurrency constraint disabled, Employee B and C reservations would have failed, or be conflicting. With the Concurrency constraint enabled, only Employee C’s reservation would have failed, or be in conflict, while Employee B’s reservation is created successfully, as the resource allows concurrent reservations to be made.
Employee App: Building Wide People Search	The Reservations Map View Search functionality on the Employee App has been enhanced with the ability to search an entire building for an employee reservation, regardless of which floor the employee has made the reservation in.
Employee App: Map View Enhancements	The Reservations Map View on the Employee App has been enhanced with a dynamic legend, and filters that will now only display resource statuses that are currently being displayed on the map, while hiding those that are not in use for a better and more focused user experience.
Employee App: Improved Reservation Titles	Reservation names or titles that are too long, are now truncated by default when displayed on the Employee App, while hovering over the name displays the entirety of the reservation name in a dialog box. This improvement allows for better user readability and experience, while not breaking the user interface.
Employee App: Improved Reservations Messaging	Reservations that have been automatically canceled or conflicted due to constraints or another meeting present, will now have the reasoning behind the cancellations displayed as an error message within the reservation window. This improvement helps employees avoid any confusion on why their reservations may have been canceled or conflicted after making a reservation.
Employee App: New Recurrence Filter	Support for a new Recurrence filter that is available in the Places dashboard, allowing employees to filter resources based that are available for recurring events without conflicts for a better booking experience.	The Recurrence filter will be hidden if Recurring Reservation is Disabled in the Reservation Settings.
Employee App: Places Improvements	Non-reservable resources are now displayed and clearly indicated within the Places dashboard on the Employee App, improving the user discovery process of building resources.	This search functionality improvement is also available on the search bar.
Employee App: Concierge List View	The Concierge dashboard can now be displayed in a List view format, providing a fresh new alternative view from the standard calendar view.
Reservations: Reservable Points of Interest (POI)	Points of Interest (POI) in Reservations can now be made reservable and searchable by Admins, allowing organizations to configure certain points of interest, such as the Gym, Quiet Spaces, or
Reservations: Ability to Edit Points of Interest (PoI) and Zones / Neighborhood Outlines	Admins now have the ability to edit the Points of Interest (POI) and Zones / Neighborhood outlines without having to completely redraw the zones.
Locations: New Themes Dashboard with Added Theming Options	The Theme settings in Locations has been updated with a brand-new user interface that includes more customization options for both reservable and non-reservable resources, such as Spaces and Points of Interest (POI) from a global level. Some of the notable improvements would be: Customize Status Color for Rooms, Spaces, or POIs. Ability to make Labels and Markers visible or hidden. Add an image to be used on all for Rooms, Spaces, or POIs.

Build 8.1-ac.32

FEATURE UPDATES

Features	Description	Impact/Outcome
Enhancements to Quick Authoring in Employee App	In 8.1-ac.30, we introduced and allowed Publishers to directly create a post from the Home dashboard or from within a channel in the Employee App. The feature is now enhanced to allow scheduling and tagging.	Publishers may now schedule posts with start and end dates, and tag these posts to target curated feeds.
Support for Reservations Reports in Analytics Reports	Reports now include the following analytics for Reservations data: Reservations History	These reports are in addition to Visitor Management reports. The Analytics > Reports feature is still in Limited Release (LR) and only available upon request. This feature is only available on Public Cloud.
Improvements to Home Location	Account Owners or Location Admins may now set floors and zones as a user’s Home Location, in addition to geo, campus, or building locations. The Home Location can be configured via the Users module for one or multiple users/user groups.	When a user logs in to the Appspace console or the Appspace Employee App, they will only see content and/or resources available in their default Home Location. Users may switch their Home Location from their profile page in the Employee App or the Appspace console.

Build 8.1-ac.31

FEATURE IMPROVEMENTS

The Phone Number format validation has been removed, as it was preventing many customers from provisioning users via SCIM, due to the strict formatting validation applied on the Appspace platform. This allows phone numbers in different formats to be displayed on the console now.

Build 8.1-ac.28.2

FEATURE UPDATES

Features	Description	Impact/Outcome
Updated Appspace Login Page	During the initial release of the Appspace Login page, Appspace deployments that use both SSO and Appspace credentials, required users authenticating with Appspace credentials to switch to the classic login page. This has been fixed with the current login workflow, allowing the system to detect automatically which credentials are being used to authenticate Appspace, and redirect the user to the appropriate login screens.	The need for users to switch to the classic login page in order to authenticate with Appspace credentials is no longer required.

CARD UPDATES

Visitor Kiosk card 1.4.1 – Escalation fixes

Back to top

1 April 2022, Friday

Build 8.1-ac.28

FEATURE UPDATES

Features	Description	Impact/Outcome
Support for Language Localization on the Employee App	The Appspace Employee App portal now supports language localization in various parts of the employee app UI, such as menu items, buttons, and system messages to be displayed in the user’s selected language. In this first phase, only French, German, and Spanish languages are supported.	Language localization options are available when you click the user profile icon and then Settings > Language on the Employee App portal. But in this release, this feature will be behind a feature flag. Customers must contact a CSM to enable it and only then they will see the Language option.
Support for SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) & HRIS (Human Resources Information System)	The SCIM compliance enables customers to leverage their HRIS and IdP (identity provider) systems as a source of record to create/import their own user attributes, leveraging Appspace’s integration capabilities that allow user-defined attributes to be created and mapped to external data sources. We currently only support SCIM integration with Okta and Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) IdPs for automatic user provisioning.	Advantages of using SCIM are it allows both provisioning and de-provisioning of users, and provides greater flexibility in targeting content, creating groups, and applying security measures, in multi-domain scenarios via a standardized service. This is an alternative to using JIT & SAML to provision users.
Updated Appspace Login Page	The Appspace login page sees a minor facelift with updated colors, fonts, and streamlined status messages on-screen. In the backend, the login process now allows users to authenticate via the new login workflow that supports SCIM.	For Appspace deployments that use both SSO and Appspace credentials, the login page defaults to SSO. Users authenticating with Appspace credentials need to switch to the classic login page.

CARD UPDATES

Tableau card 1.0 – Support to display Tableau dashboards.
Schedule Board card 1.20 – New Map layout option for an enhanced and full-screen map layout.

RESOLVED ESCALATIONS

AE-7744 – Content items within the playlist channel folder do not update to the latest Playout Properties Schedule edits when updated through the Configure Folder Settings in Channels.

FEATURE UPDATES

Enhancements to Zones (Neighborhoods)	Introducing Zones (neighborhoods) as a resource type. Zones will now appear as a resource in your selected floor. Administrators can also define/create rules and restrictions that will provide limitations on resources within designated zones, which are reservable.

Admins may edit this zone resource and add Constraint and Checkpoint rules.
System Icons Update	All system icons within the Appspace console are being updated to a 2px/24 grid style for standardization.	No name changes occur. But some icon sizes are expected to change.
Employee App Portal Theming Options	The Theming Options button has moved from the Employee App portal dashboard to the Appspace sidebar menu in the console. The Employee App Theming Options is now configured via Settings > App Configuration from the Appspace console.	Only Admins with platform licenses can access the Theming Options for the Employee App in the console.
API v3 General Availability	The new API v3 site will be available with Public cloud 8.1-ac.27 and later at https://api.cloud.appspace.com/api/v3/docs/ The API v3 site has been redesigned with a new look and feel, providing developers a list of our APIs that can be used to build applications that integrate with the Appspace platform.

Visitor Management General Availability (GA)	The Appspace Visitor Management system has been officially released and enables employees to leverage the Appspace Space Reservation system, the new Visitors module in the console, and the Appspace Employee App to invite visitors (external users) to meetings or events held in their organization.	The Visitor Management feature, which has been in Limited Release, is now available to the public. For more information, refer to the Configure and Manage Visitors – Administrator article.
Space Reservations: Update to Notifications	Additional notifications will now be sent to organizers and attendees when the following conditions are met: Notifications are sent when there is a change of date or time of an event, via email or enterprise messaging if enabled. Invite notifications are sent to attendees newly added to an event. Invitation canceled notification is sent to attendees who have been removed from an event.	Previously notifications were only sent when an event was created or deleted. If the “on-behalf” feature is turned on, then notifications will be sent if creating/editing from a calendar provider. Notifications will be sent automatically, only when the Organizer is an Appspace user.
Space Reservations: Zombie Meetings	The Zombie Meetings feature allows administrators to set a new constraint to auto-delete or send a notification to the meeting organizer, when zombie meetings (unattended meetings) occur, with the option to set when the constraint will be triggered (i.e. cancellation of multiple consecutive meetings after X number of times).	When an organizer sets recurring meetings, but does not check-in resulting in auto-cancellation for that date, and this is repeated X number of times for the same meeting, then all the recurring meetings are either auto-deleted or a notification is sent to the organizer.
Multi-Zone Playlist Channel Update	Publishers can now publish a specific zone within the multi-zone channel to an enterprise messaging app. Support for multi-zone channel orientation preview.	Publishers can also choose to publish multiple zones. Content creators may now preview their multi-zone channel in both landscape and portrait orientations.
