Spring 2017 Release: Collaborative Reservation Editing, Projects, & More

Our Spring 2017 release includes over 300 new features and bug fixes. Organization admins can now edit existing and duplicate reservations, and optionally allow users to edit (and duplicate submitted reservations). Do your users need to reserve the same items multiple times for the same or similar projects? These new changes make that easy.

We also have a number of items in Beta testing, including new “Project” functionality. Projects can be used for a number of purposes, including:

Tracking all rentals/loans associated with a specific project
Do your users rent or borrow items on behalf of other uses (e.g. a teacher borrowing on behalf of a student or school program)?
- You can now track who or what an item use used for.
- Re-use projects across multiple loans to save on data entry

Other features include:

Ability to hide all money/financial related fields if you only use myTurn to track and share items internally
Set a facivon (browser bookmarks icon) for all public facing pages
Improvements when using the platform on mobile devices

….and much much more!
