MIDAS Feature Request

Request New Features

Here at MIDAS HQ we get numerous suggestions for new functionality and features our customers would like to see included in future releases of our room booking system. As part of our ongoing commitment to the development of our room booking software, here we'll list some of the suggestions that haven't yet made it into MIDAS, and offer you the chance to influence which ones you'd most like to see in a future update! - If you have an idea for a feature not listed on this page, please let us know about it!
Why not take a look at some of the previously implemented feature requests too!

120 Votes Voted!	Add Clients Icon I think there should be a button in the main toolbar to add clients, instead of having to add them via the booking or search screens

91 Votes Voted!	Cut-off time for booking modifications I'd like to be able to prevent further modifications to bookings if there's less than 24/48hours, etc, to go before the start of a booking
	Currently in Planning

83 Votes Voted!	Attach a document to Booking Confirmations When I send Booking Confirmations through MIDAS, I'd like a way to all attach a .pdf or other document to the email (i.e. a booking contract/terms and conditions, etc)

66 Votes Voted!	Send "Invites" to meetings I'd like to be able to send out e-mail invites/Outlook meeting requests to required staff attendees when I book a room for a meeting

65 Votes Voted!	Repetitive Booking indication Is there a way to distinguish repetitive bookings from one-off bookings in the booking grid?
	Currently in Planning

62 Votes Voted!	Booking Contracts Could MIDAS generate 'Booking Contracts' for my clients, showing dates of usage, terms of hire, signature line, etc?

61 Votes Voted!	Ability to resend booking confirmation emails Is there a way to re-send a booking confirmation email?
	Currently in Planning

51 Votes Voted!	Selectable Invoice Templates At present, I can only have a single invoice template. I'd like to be able to define more invoice templates, for example, if there are different payment terms, etc for different clients

49 Votes Voted!	Print "Staffing Schedules" As we can assign Staffing to our bookings, could MIDAS generate a schedule for each staff member?

48 Votes Voted!	Recurring bookings that recur "forever" Can I make a recurring/repetitive booking that repeats "forever", rather than the repeat ending after a certain number of weeks, or after a certain date?

40 Votes Voted!	Specify discounts by client At present, we can assign discounts to bookings based upon the booking "type" - could we have a way to assign these discounts based upon the client instead of the booking type?

37 Votes Voted!	Ability to add bookings to existing invoices When generating an invoice for a specific booking, it would be ideal if there was a way to add the booking to an existing invoice, rather than generating a new invoice

33 Votes Voted!	Option to compare two date ranges when viewing statistics I'd like a way to compare one date range of statistics to another date range

31 Votes Voted!	Improve Hours of Operation to set different hours for different date ranges At present, the Hours of Operation I set for my venues are applied to all dates. I'd like to set different operating hours during term time/holidays, etc

31 Votes Voted!	Daily email digest of the day's bookings Could MIDAS automatically email me a list of all the day's bookings first thing each morning?

29 Votes Voted!	Option to book by entire venue "group" It would be useful if there was a way to quickly book all venues in a particular venue group, rather than having to manually select each individual venue in the group

25 Votes Voted!	Option to "ban" someone from making further booking requests for a certain period Can there be a way to limit the number of booking requests one person can make in any given time period/at any one time?

Smarter automated booking reminder notification scheduling

MIDAS allows me to have automated booking reminders set to clients a specific number of hours before their bookings are due to commence (i.e. 24 hours). This is fine if their booking takes place on a Tuesday, as they'll get a reminder the day before. But, if their booking is due to take place on a Monday, I'd instead like the reminder sent on the Friday before

21 Votes Voted!	Filter Booking Grid By Booking Type We can filter the Booking Grid by Venue Group, but it would be useful to also be able to filter the grid by Booking Type

20 Votes Voted!	Ability to retain the multi-day feature if a user's hours are restricted At present, if I restrict a user's hours, they loose access to the multi-day view. Can the multi-day view be made available even if a user's hours are restricted?

20 Votes Voted!	Ability to add photos/descriptions to resources Can we have the ability to add photos/descriptions etc to resources, like we can with venues?

18 Votes Voted!	Printable Address Labels Could MIDAS generate and print address labels for clients?

17 Votes Voted!	Show blocked venue slots in the booking grid Similar to how closed periods are indicated in the booking grid, it would be useful to see a similar visual indication of which venues are currently blocked by others

15 Votes Voted!	Ability to limit users to a sub-set of clients The "Client" field on the Add Bookings screen allow a user to select any existing client. I'd ideally like to be able to limit specific users to only be able to add bookings for certain clients

14 Votes Voted!	Ability to restrict users to only view bookings of certain types Whilst we can restrict which venues each user can see bookings for, it would be useful if we could also restrict which "types" of bookings each user can view

14 Votes Voted!	Allow theme modifications in cloud-hosted editions Presently, the visual "themes" for MIDAS can only be edited in self-hosted editions. Can cloud-hosted customers also have the ability to modify themes?

14 Votes Voted!	Make "Booking Spacing" a per-venue rather than a global setting The "booking spacing" settings to maintain fixed "gaps" between bookings currently apply to all venues. It would be useful if they could be set on a per-venue basis instead

10 Votes	Charge interest on overdue invoices It's great that MIDAS can automatically remind clients of their upcoming and overdue invoice payments - but could there be a way for MIDAS to automatically start charging interest on invoices that are more than x days overdue?

10 Votes Voted!	Swap the time / venue axis in the booking grid Currently MIDAS shows times of day across the horizontal axis, and venues down the vertical axis of the booking grid. I'd prefer to see venues across the horizontal axis and times down the vertical axis

10 Votes Voted!	Ability to only trigger watch notifications for bookings within a certain date range It would be great if I could further customize the triggers for "Watch" notifications to only trigger for matching bookings between two specific dates

6 Votes Voted!	Watch Notification on invoice payments I'd like to be able to set up a Watch Notification to be notified whenever clients pay their invoices

2 Votes Voted!	Bulk edit user permissions Could there be a way to grant/revoke permissions from multiple user accounts in one action, rather than individually?

2 Votes Voted!	Provide a means for "staffing" resources to set their own availability Could "staffing" resources have a way to set their own availability?
