LibCal

  • We've Revamped the Appointments Exchange/Outlook & Google Sync, which will help dramatically with keeping changes made in Exchange or Google synced in LibCal.

  • We added a Recommended Databases feature so you can help your patrons get started on their database search.
  • The Customization Files feature is available again.

LibInsight

  • Make sure to update your Custom Dataset's Record page's bookmark to reflect the updated Record page. We'll remove the redirect from the old page to the updated page in the next (October) release.

LibWizard

  • We've added a new setting on the Thank You Screen to help automatically send the results of the form to the person filling out the form. If a patron has already entered their email address earlier in the form, you can now map that field on the Thank You screen, which will automatically send the results of the form to that user without their needing to enter their email address again.
