Tighter Integration with Microsoft Outlook® 1 Sending email from within EMS is now easier than ever! Access your Microsoft Outlook contacts – as well as the contacts in your EMS database – with just a click.
Numerous Navigator Improvements1 EMS users tend to spend a lot of time on the Navigator window, so our product development team does too! New features include an Event/Reserved Time display option, Show Available Rooms Only option when moving a booking and more.
Multiple Reservation Book Enhancements1 Already one of the most widely-used tools in the system, the Reservation Book is now even more powerful. Numerous enhancements have been made to "the Book," including: current time indicator; Services, Group Phone, Group Email, Event Type, Contact as tool tip options; printable weekly view and more.
Customizable Window Layouts1 Changes a user makes to the layout of any window in EMS are now saved and used the next time the window is opened. From resizing to rearranging columns – set the system up in the way that works best for you.
Streamlined Navigator/Book Option Maintenance1 New windows for maintaining Navigator and Reservation Book options are now available, making it easier to set and modify options.
Redesigned Virtual EMS Interface2 The web is changing every day, and Virtual EMS is changing with it. The system has been rebuilt to take advantage of new web development technology that creates a richer, more robust user experience.
Simplified Access to Web-Based Info1 URL fields in the system now convert entries to clickable hyperlinks, making it much easier to access information on the reservation, group, etc. that is being edited.
Enhanced Reporting Capability1 A number of improvements have been made to reporting, including a new Room Cards report, the use of calendar styles on the Event Schedule, Hide Holidays and Grey-Out Adjacent Calendar Days options on the Event Calendar and more.
