One of the new features allows you to make appointments unavailable by default and open up time spots manually as you need them.

|
As an administrator you can upload files and assign them to users or appointments.
|
| |
|
|
The script is able to work with time zones. The users select their time zone and the script shows the dates and times in their individual time zone. This feature requires PHP 5, though, but since it's optional and disabled by default, that's no problem, really.
|
| |
|
|
The registration is fully functional now, including activating the account. Optionally, a notification e-mail admin operator and user can be sent.
|
| |
|
|
A new feature allows the admin to generate deep links to the script that will lead the user to a certain week, preselect the reason, appointment area or directly to the appointment form.
|
| |
|
|
An appointment ID can be shown in the admin area (including search field in the appointment list).
|
| |
|
|
If you allow more than one appointment at a time, the script shows to the user whether some of the spots have already been taken.
|
| |
|
|
The front end can be switched to maintenance mode and allows the administrator to change the configuration or upload a new version to the server and install it.
|
| |
|
|
Admins can decide whether to delete or merely cancel an appointment. In the latter case the appointments remain in the database but will be displayed as strike through in the appointment list. In older versions only either one of the options were possible.
|
| |
|
|
An extra warning message will be shown if a an admin deletes another user with admin rights. That is meant to prevent an admin locking himself out.
|
| |
|
|
The user front end outputs valid XHTML.
|
| |
|
|
The script is PHP 4 compatible again and will remain so, apart from a few optional features like time zones.

Users can view and edit their own appointments online. They are also able to change or cancel appointments.

The appointment duration is not limited and can span over several days.

Customer and user data changes from time to time
and sometimes appointment information has to be
modified too. The administrator can now do both
of these tasks easily using the admin front end.
The function can be called up via the detail view
of either the appointment data or customer data.

The Organizer's operator can restrict appointment
booking to a select group of users. The appointment
planner can be reserved for use by a project group,
customers or the operator's patients.
The administrator can add or delete users in the
admin area; the users are sent their login information
by e-mail that allows them to access the system. As
before, they can change or update their information
the next time they make an appointment.
|
| |
|
|
The database is now set up using an installation
script. It is called up before starting Organizer
for the first time. A form appears in which you
enter the access information for the MySQL
database and also determine the names of the
database tables.
If the script has been installed successfully, Organizer
is ready to use immediately. To enter the user area,
you must login using 'Admin' and the password you chose
during installation. You can also set up additional
user accounts for yourself.

It is possible to keep all holidays for Germany,
Austria and Switzerland reserved automatically.
This obviates the need for the operator to reserve
dates such as New Year, Easter, Whitsuntide and
Christmas etc. manually every year. As there are
regional differences, every holiday can be activated
or deactivated individually. The holidays applicable
to each country, or - for Germany - each Federal State
are listed in the appropriate place.
|

|
|
As a Web site operator, you would of course
like tools and scripts such as Organizer to match
your own site layout. This can be achieved using
a CSS file (Cascading Style Sheets), which lets you
make changes to all colour, font and font size settings.
Additionally you can modify the layout using
appropriate header and footer files.

It is now possible to insert a (lunch) break into
the week view. Users cannot book an appointment
during this time, likewise for end of the day and
close of business.
|
| |
|
|
It is possible to hide individual weekdays in the
appointment overview. Irrelevant days such
as Saturday or Sunday are not shown. This
saves space and improves clarity.
|
| |
|
|
Also, you can give Web site visitors the opportunity
to book appointments for a fixed period in advance.
The time period shown is unchanged.
|
| |
|
|
It can be advantageous in a private system, such
as an intranet for example, for every user to be able
to see details of all reservations. This feature has
also been implemented.

e-mail including a detailed description of what you
would like. Perhaps the feature already exists and it
just hasn't been mentioned here yet.
