Keep Your Browser Up-to-date!
We want you to have the best possible user experience when using MIDAS in your favorite Web Browser. We support our web based scheduling software in all 5 major browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera), and a list of the minimum and recommended versions for each of these browsers we support can be found at https://mid.as/browsers.
Important Information for users of Internet Explorer 8
As we first indicated back in November 2012, and again in March 2013, we would soon be dropping support for Internet Explorer 8.
Therefore, starting with MIDAS v4.05, Internet Explorer 8 is no longer supported. That’s not to say that MIDAS will suddenly stop working in IE8, on the contrary, MIDAS may continue to function in IE8 for some time to come, and we’re certainly not “blocking” access to MIDAS if you still use IE8 – but it means that we are no longer actively supporting this obsolete browser, and therefore if you encounter any issues running MIDAS in IE8, we will no longer be addressing them, and will instead encourage you to update your web browser.
How To Get MIDAS v4.05
Existing MIDAS customers with valid Annual Support Subscriptions can update to v4.05 from within the software (MIDAS Admin Options → Manage MIDAS → Update)
Customers who have their MIDAS “remotely hosted” by us – you don’t need to do anything – We’ll be automatically updating you to MIDAS v4.05 this weekend!
If you’re not yet using MIDAS, why not start off the New Year by getting your organization’s room scheduling in order once and for all with our intuitive, popular and easy to use, web based software MIDAS!?
This Saturday will see the first Small Business Saturday held right across the UK, and supported by American Express.
Held on one of the busiest shopping days of the year – the first Saturday in December, Small Business Saturday is all about encouraging everyone in the UK to support small businesses.
As you may know, MIDAS is a small, but highly customer-focused business. We’re based in the UK and have been developing our leading web based room scheduling software since 2005.
To celebrate Small Business Saturday, we’ll be offering some very special discounts on our scheduling software EXCLUSIVELY to UK visitors to our website during Saturday! (There will be discounts for both new AND our existing UK customers too!)
The majority of our competitors are based in other countries, so if you’re in the UK, and are on the look-out for a new facility & resource scheduling system for your company or organization, don’t buy software from a large, faceless, company based in another country – keep it right here in the UK!
So check out MIDAS for your scheduling needs this Saturday, and finally get your room bookings and appointments back on track once and for all in 2014!
Well, it’s Black Friday once again (more about that later!), and if you’re a regular reader of our blog then you’ll already know about some of the upcoming features in MIDAS v4.05 including improved iPad and touch-screen device support and a new Venue “Blocking” feature.
So we thought we’d take a moment to reveal some of the other improvements you can expect with the next update to our powerful web based room scheduling solution, this time in Invoicing:
Improvements to Invoicing
Previously, the “Booking Notes” associated any booking for which an invoice was generated were automatically included in the “Invoice Notes” area of the corresponding invoice.
In MIDAS v4.05, you’ll be able to disable this behavior, or choose a different booking field (including custom fields) to include in the “Invoice Notes” section of your generated invoices.
What’s more, we’ve included an “Itemize” option so for invoices containing multiple bookings, MIDAS can automatically denote which “notes” apply to which bookings:
Itemized Invoice Notes
After feedback from a couple of our customers, we’re also introducing a way to completely remove the “Tax” line from your invoices if you don’t charge tax, and don’t want to show a 0% tax rate on your invoices. In MIDAS v4.05, setting the “Default Tax Amount” blank (rather than just 0%) will hide the tax line on invoices where there is no tax element (existing invoices which contain a tax element will not be affected and will still show the tax line)
Now, back to Black Friday – if you’re not following us on Twitter (@mid_as), then right now you’re missing out on some incredible deals – for today only – for both new AND existing customers of our MIDAS web based room scheduling software
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
