New Features Release August 2015
SETTINGS
Specify Conditions for Fees
Do you want to create special fees for seniors or provide a special fee for members who come between the hours of 2-4pm? Now you can apply fee conditions to any booking type. If you apply the fee to a drop-in you can allow discounts on top of the fee as well.
Drop-in Fee - Identify the Fee
Do you want to give your members the option to pay for a single drop-in class? You can now create a customized drop-in fee for all your yoga, martial arts, pottery and other offered courses.
Note: This field is hidden for products or memberships.
Round Up (or Down) Your Cash
In countries like Canada and Australia the penny has disappeared from the cash register, and prices are rounded up or down to the next denomination for cash payments. If you have a customer who wants to purchase a yoga class that costs $14.98 and she gives you $20.00, your system will recognize this and round down. You'll give her $5 back, not $5.02.
Create a Payment Plan
Give your customers a choice of payment plans when you process a large purchase. You can set up as many plans as you wish ahead of time, each defined by a payment frequency, number of payments, and applicable location. Then you can apply the plans to events, or select them when you click a Pay Now button beside an attendee's name, or on a facility rental agreement.
Identify Local Residents for Special Treatment
Do you have one fee for members who live close to your organization and another for those whose residence is farther away? Your organization's identity settings in Xplor Recreation just got a new section where you can identify the North American zip or postal codes or cities that qualify your members for Local Residency.
Manage Employee Access for Dashboard
Do you want to hide the financial section of the dashboard from one of your employee profiles? As an administrator you can now control what your employees see on the dashboard.
Set Up Scanning Stations to Enable Access to Facilities
Do you want to control access for each of your facilities? Now you can set up scanning stations. Members can scan their barcoded passes to gain access to the booked facility.
Improve Email Delivery
When members receive an email from you, they'll know it's from your business. You can now verify and authenticate your From email to make your own address a trusted sender.
Waiting List
When a course has hit maximum capacity, your members can now register on a wait list and your system can help you manage that wait list.
CALENDAR
Calendar Search
You can now search by ID number or keyword in your calendar. The keyword can be drawn from the title or description of an event. For example if you type "summer" into the search bar, any event with the word "summer" will appear in the results. You can also narrow your search further by selecting the day, age, gender or facility icons to the left.
Your customers can find the same feature in BookMe.
Resolve Booking Conflicts
If you are creating an event for a facility or a class, Xplor Recreation will alert you if there is conflicting data. The software will tell you if there is a problem with the date, time, instructor or facility, and give you options to resolve the conflict.
Clone an Event/Course
Was your beginner martial arts or Vinyasa flow courses from last season a great success? Do you want to recreate the course without the administrative hassle? Now you can.
MEMBERSHIP
Auto Renewal
Membership renewal has never been so simple. Xplor Recreation lets you configure templates to renew limited memberships automatically.
PRODUCTS
Ticket Access
Wouldn't it be nice to create tickets for your members when attending your events? Now you can customize tickets with pictures and event details. Tickets can be printed or members can scan the barcode on their passes.
