accessed from within the quick form.

only sections were blocked.

for an event meeting.

reserved quantity was 1.
Event Status: Resolved an issue that was causing the status field not to get updated on all meetings when an event
was canceled.

when the request form settings did not allow it.

error encountered by some schools.

sections scheduled into effective dated rooms.

properly.

instead of sections.

"exclude" preferences were used.

restricted from their role.
Area: User Interface Components
Rooms: Made the room name display consistent throughout the system.
Area: Workflows / Notifications / Approvals
Event Approval Notification: Approval comments are now included on the notification message sent to the requester.
Known Limitations
Area: Accounting
Accounting: The accounting application currently has a field length limitation that can prevent Astra Schedule from
being able to uniquely identify rooms if there are buildings and room named the same across multiple campuses, or if
there are otherwise unusually long building and room names. In this case an error will be encountered when
exporting the room information from Astra Schedule to the accounting application.
Area: Calendars
Browser Support: The Calendar functions are not currently compatible with Safari. We are investigating options for
an update to the Calendar control that will support Safari in a coming release.
Area: Import / Export
After importing events via the Excel import utility, customer data must be re‑exported to ObjAcct before users can
effectively access Events and Customer related functionality.
Area: N/A
People records cannot currently be searched via email address.
Area: Reporting
Report Subscription: Reports to be included in a report subscription may not include sub‑reports in their design.
Area: Security
"Guest" user account must be mapped to the "guest" role.
Area: System Configuration
Holiday Section Conflicts: Section meeting instances are cancelled and flagged as exceptions upon section creation.
However, at this time, holiday configuration actions that should impact existing section records will not perform this
work. Holidays that block section meetings must be created before sections are created.
