First introduced in v4.16, the Quick Tour, received positive feedback from users as it provided a quick way for them to become familiar with the main screen. However, the tour would only be offered upon the user’s very first login. Whether they completed the tour or not, it would never be shown to that user again.

We’re changing that for v4.25. Now the Quick Tour will be offered to users each time they login, until they select the “Don’t show this again” box.

Once the “Don’t show this again” box has been selected, the Quick Tour will not be shown again to that user.

We’re also giving administrators the option to reinstate the Quick Tour to any user account at any time. On the Manage Users & Permissions screen, there’s now a “Show Quick Tour upon user’s next login?” option:

If selected, the Quick Tour will be shown again to the user on their next login. The user can then of course suppress the Quick Tour by selecting the “Don’t show this again” box.

These are just a few of the new and improved features for MIDAS v4.25. Please see this post for details of other new features you’ll find in v4.25.

You can also ask questions and discuss the new features of v4.25 over on Reddit.

The original dozen or so tutorial videos we produced a number of years ago now regularly receive great praise from our customers, so we thought it was about time to overhaul and update these great resources for MIDAS users!

These short new “How To” videos guide you step-by-step through all areas of MIDAS, and because they’re on-demand, you can watch them again and again to learn your way around MIDAS at your own pace.

We’ve broken these exciting new tutorials down into key topic areas, covering Getting Started; Bookings; Clients; Users; Venues; Printing; Email; Invoicing; Resources; Searching; Messages, Notifications, Watches, and Reminders; Public Features; Settings; Import/Export; and Security.

This includes complete both online help documentation and downlodable and printable manuals (in PDF format). We also have a host of easy to follow, step-by-step video tutorials. Furthermore, we’ve complied an extensive Knowledge Base containing answers to many common questions.

In the addition to this wealth of self-help resources, for the forthcoming release of MIDAS v4.16, we’re also adding an optional “Quick Tour” of the user interface within MIDAS itself:

Upon the very first login by a user to MIDAS, they’ll be presented with an option to take a quick tour.

The Quick Tour will outline all the key elements to their MIDAS screen, which they can step through at their own pace.

The tour will also describe the function of each toolbar icon that’s available to the user.

The Quick Tour can be closed at any point, and won’t be shown again the next time the user logs in.

Initially, the Quick Tour will only be available to new users running MIDAS under one of the English language variations. It will also only be shown on Tablet, Laptop, or Desktop devices. It won’t currently be shown on very small mobile device screens.
