Known issues

  • Booking a linked space sets the Space Name as the Secondary Space Name.
  • When adding an additional visitor to an existing booking, original visitor is duplicated.
  • As a result of a concerted effort to address possible performance challenges, coupled with alterations to a third-party plug-in employed by our application, pages containing lists in Flex and OneLens (including Booking List, Bookings, Visitors, etc.) have experienced a reduction in search functionality and the deactivation of column sorting features. Our goal is to remedy this in upcoming versions by collaborating with the provider of the third-party plug-in.
