Invoice Receipts

1 minute read time · Updated February 11, 2025 · First published December 9, 2015

The next update to our web based room booking and resource scheduling software is just around the corner. So this week we’re providing a “first look” at some of the new features and improvements to expect in MIDAS v4.11.

Today we’d like to introduce you to “Invoice Receipts”.

MIDAS already contains extensive automated and manual invoicing capabilities. Now in v4.11 with just a couple of clicks, this brand-new feature allows you to instantly print or email a receipt to a customer once they’ve paid (or part paid) their invoice. In the event of a part-paid invoice, the customer’s receipt will also indicate the remaining amount still outstanding.

Just like “Regular” and “Cancellation” invoices, you’ll also be able to modify and customize the “Invoice Receipt” templates within your MIDAS system.

The next update to our web based room booking and resource scheduling software is just around the corner. Yesterday we started our new blog series giving you a “first look” at some of the new features and improvements you can look forward to in MIDAS v4.11..

Today we’re excited to announce two new user permissions in v4.11 to compliment the extensive range of user permissions already available in MIDAS.

Maximum bookings allowed per date

  • This setting allows you to limit the maximum number of bookings a user may add to any particular calendar date. Left blank, there will be no limit imposed on the number of bookings a user can make.

Maximum booking length

  • This setting allows you to restrict the maximum length of bookings (in minutes) a user is allowed to make. Left blank, there will be no limit imposed on the maximum length of bookings.

If either of these limits are enforced for a particular user, and the user reaches these limits, they will be notified accordingly on their Booking Availability Screens:

New User Permission: Maximum bookings allowed per date
New User Permission: Maximum bookings allowed per date
New User Permission: Maximum booking length

Booking Cancellation Notifications

1 minute read time · Updated February 11, 2025 · First published December 7, 2015

The next update to our web based room booking and resource scheduling software is just around the corner, and so over the coming days on our blog we’re going to give you a first look at some of the new features and improvements you can look forward to in MIDAS v4.11..

The first new feature of v4.11 we’d like to unveil is the ability to send a “Booking Cancellation” to a client when their booking(s) are deleted from the system.

When bookings are deleted, users will now be presented with the option to send a booking cancellation notification, along with a brief reason why the booking has been “deleted” (canceled):

Send Booking Cancellation Notifications
Easily send the client a notification explaining why their booking is being cancelled

This functionality is available when individual bookings are deleted, or when multiple bookings are deleted via the “Delete Similar Bookings” function.

Like other email notifications that MIDAS is capable of generating, you also be able to customize the content of the “Booking Cancellation” email template too.

Quickly Search Resources

2 minute read time · Updated May 30, 2023 · First published August 31, 2015

Our web based room booking and resource scheduling software, MIDAS, allows you to assign and book resources along with your rooms. Resources may be added to the system in one of three categories; Equipment, Consumables, and Staffing (the differences between these three categories is explained here)

In earlier versions of our software, when it came to assigning pre-defined resources to bookings, a small window would open listing all resources over the three categories. For customers who have setup a large number of available resources in their MIDAS system, a user would need to scroll through the entire list to locate the particular resource(s) they wished to add to their booking.

Search and filter resources
Searchable Resources

Now, with MIDAS v4.10, at the top of the Add Resources window, there’s now a “Search” box which when you begin typing into will instantly filter the current list of resources to only show those matching the search term you’ve entered, allowing you to quickly locate the resources you wish to add to your booking.

There’s a host of other new and improved features in MIDAS v4.10, including two-factor authentication and invoicing improvements.

Oh, and today is the final day to get 10% off MIDAS with our Windows 10 offer – Find out more at [THIS OFFER HAS NOW ENDED], and hurry before it’s too late!
