The September 2021 release of the BookingsPlus PC & Resource Booking and Print Management solution has completed the initial beta testing and is now available for general release.

There are three key highlights for this release:

• Improve display for the PC Booking Schedule for staff to easily scroll across PCs (if there are a high number of PCs that can be booked at the branch)
• Automatic printing of booking slips
• Emails can be sent using the organisation's own SMTP server - so that the "sender" of the email can be the organisation's own email address
