This is a major upgrade in fucntionality for our customers that have multiple locations. You can now specify item by item, or using Item Type Defaults, which items can be picked up at other locations vs which must be picked up and returned to their home location. For example, if you have an internal courier service that can transport only certain items between locations, those items can be marked as “Floating” (can move between locations) while other items must be picked up/returned to the Item’s Home Location. Previously, you had to specify all or no items could be picked up at other locations.
With this change you an also create “transfer buffers” that let you specify additional time before and betwen reservations for floating items. See more on our support center at Reservation Pickup Rules and mixing Fixed vs Floating items.
Other updates in this release include:
- Improvements to our Self Service Kiosk API
- Updated Project functionality when working with multiple locations (e.g. ability to have questions that only relate to some items)
