Here you will find the current service description, which is currently dated January 2026.

2025-12.1.2

Optimised rights assignment in the approval process

The rights management for the approval process has been revised and structured more clearly.

2025-12.1.1

Extended rights management for ServiceUnits

ServiceUnits can now be set as mandatory for users.

Whether a ServiceUnit must be filled in is controlled by the assignment between ServiceUnits and roles and is therefore part of the rights system.

A role can be granted the right to book a service and at the same time be obliged to specify the corresponding service unit.

2025-11.1.3

Optimisations to the tile and map view

The image in the "All" tile view can now be uploaded individually and adjusted at any time.

The tile view has been made more stable and reliable overall.

In addition, the performance of the map view has been significantly improved.

2025-11.1.2

Adjusting the map view

The map view for users without the appropriate authorisation has been revised.

2025-11.1.1

Improved booking processes and usability

A direct link has been added to the booking reminder email, which takes you straight to the relevant booking.

Bookings can now also be created without an assigned user. The new right "Create bookings without users" is available for this purpose. This allows non-administrators to create appointments without users; the user can then be added at any time.

The "Create code" function is now called "Create access PIN". It is only displayed if a lock is present, is activated by default and cannot be changed if permissions are missing.

In addition, it is now possible to zoom in on maps.

2025-10.1.3

Booking on displays

The booking process directly on the display has been made significantly more user-friendly.

2025-10.1.2

Check-in optimisation

Various improvements have been made to the check-in and check-out procedure.

2025-10.1.1

Check-in

The check-in function ensures that rooms and resources are only considered occupied when the person or group who booked them is actually present. A check-in therefore serves to validate bookings and prevents reserved rooms from remaining blocked and unused.

Check-in can be done in various ways, for example by scanning a QR code, using a button on a room display or via the user interface of your own device. Whether and how check-in is required is controlled centrally via booking rules in the organisational units.

The configuration allows flexible adaptation of the check-in to different usage scenarios – from mandatory use for certain room types to anonymous confirmations by visitors on the display.

In addition to the already familiar method of creating recurring bookings, there is now a new option for creating recurring bookings with a wider range of functions.
