The post PhonePad Version 5.83.0, Appointment Calendar Version 5.16.0, and MessageSender Version 6.25.0 Have All Been Released. appeared first on Cybercom Software Blog.
]]>We’ve had a busy few weeks adding new features, updating existing features, and fixing bugs.
There are too many new features to cover here so here’s just 3 of them.
This is a handy new feature. You only have to glance at the calendar object to see which days have appointments.
Thank you Glenda for the suggestion.
When messages are forwarded to a user by email, you can now have a read receipt sent back to you when the user reads the email.
If messages sent by email fail to meet their destination, MessageSender will now send you a message to let you know.
Both of these new features require MessageSender Version 6.25.0.
We’re human too. We haven’t been replaced by AI-controlled robots yet. And we’re definitely not perfect. Like most other humans, we can make mistakes. If you find a mistake or a bug, please let us know and we’ll fix it as quickly as possible.
This release is only compatible with MessageSender Version 6.22.0 or later.
Please note: Server Updates must be installed on your Server or Host PC, not your workstation (unless your workstation is also the Host PC) – they cannot be installed directly on your workstations. Make sure all users are logged out of PhonePad as the PhonePad Server will be stopped during the update and then restarted once it has completed. Workstations will be automatically updated when PhonePad 5 Workstation is started on each workstation. Important: When downloading and installing an update from your My PhonePad account, make sure it’s actually the update and not the server setup program.
Please read: You do not need to install every update between this one and the last update you installed. PhonePad uses a smart update system that compares your current PhonePad system with what’s in the update, works out what changes are required, and then makes those changes. So if you are a few versions behind don’t worry. You can skip all of the updates in between and go straight to this update.
Depending on the anti-virus software you use, when you install a Server Update your AV software may class the updated software as a different program due to the change in binary signature. If you experience speed or freezing issues after an update, you may need to reconfigure your AV software to stop real-time scanning of PhonePad. This may need to be done on the both your Server or Host PC, and your workstations.
All PhonePad executables and DLLs are digitally signed for your protection.
You can confirm that a file is safe by right-clicking on it and selecting Properties from the popup menu, and then selecting the Digital Signatures tab.
You can download the update from your My PhonePad account.
If you are a current trial user you can download the update by logging in to My PhonePad Trial using the email address you used to start your trial.
Please contact Support if you have any problems or questions.
If you’re unsure of how to install updates, please watch the video on this blog post.
You will need to have a current Update Plan to install this update. If your Update Plan has expired, you will need to renew it before you can install this update.
If you would rather have the Server Update installed for you, you can arrange for us to remote connect and install it. The cost is $37 and you can schedule a date and time here: https://www.cybercom-software.com/remote-server-update-assistance.htm .

]]>You may not use all of the features in PhonePad so you can remove the toolbar buttons that you don’t use. Now users can do this themselves individually, but a new system rule added in this release allows you to set the toolbar configuration for all users in one place.
You can access System Rules from the System Admin menu (you need to be a System Admin to access this).
Select User Interface and then click the Customize Toolbars button.
By default, all buttons will be selected. Uncheck the ones you don’t want for each toolbar and click OK to save them.
Select which toolbar configurations you would like to override. This will override any custom configurations those users have made.
The Appointment Calendar now features a new appointment type called “Free Text Appointments”. It’s a terrible name so if you can come up with something better we would appreciate it.
As the (rather pathetic) name suggests, you can freely type text into this appointment type.
It doesn’t have to be names either. You can type in anything you want.
You have the option of adding a room for the appointment. This can be added, edited or removed at any time. For example, you might decide to move the appointment to a bigger meeting room later on. Or you don’t have to assign a room at all.
The Free Text appointment will be displayed with the text you entered, and a room if you assigned one.
You may have found that reminders for ToDo List tasks may have appeared too frequently, to the degree that they become annoying.
Now you can change how often you want reminders to be displayed.
We’re human too and we’re definitely not perfect. Like most other humans, we can make mistakes. If you find a mistake or a bug, please let us know and we’ll fix it as quickly as possible.
This release is only compatible with MessageSender Version 6.22.0 or later.

]]>The post Still Using PhoneSlips? How Would You Like to Replace It With a Much Better Solution, for Free? appeared first on Cybercom Software Blog.
]]>When we heard the news we spoke to Telexis a few times about getting information on how they stored their data. The plan was to develop a tool to migrate all of the Phoneslips data into PhonePad.
We already had a lot of ex-Phoneslips customers using PhonePad, and many more making the switch. A migration tool would have been an enormous help to them.
The bad news was that Telexis were unwilling or unable to provide that information.
This left Phoneslips users in a difficult position as only their contacts data could be transferred into PhonePad.
Over the years we have tried to get a fully functioning copy of Phoneslips so that we could analyze it and work out how the data was stored and structured.
So far we haven’t had any luck. Although we had quite a few Phoneslips users say they would send us a copy, we never received any.
We’ve decided we’re going to give it one more red-hot go.
What we’re after is a genuine, fully functioning copy of Phoneslips, either with sample data or real data. We do not want any pirated, warez, or other illegitimate copies. We also don’t want any updates as they require the full version of the Phoneslips.
We are happy to accept the original installation software (digitally, not on CDs), or a zipped existing installation.
If you are able to provide this, and we confirm that it actually works, we will give you free licenses for:
Of course, you will also get 12 months of updates included. This is a total value of $321.
Now we only need one (1) fully functioning copy of Phoneslips, so the first person to provide us with that will get the free licenses.
Naturally, if the copy of Phoneslips we receive contains any real data, it will be destroyed once we have worked out how to extract data and build a migration tool.
Please contact sales@cybercom-software.com if you are interested.
If we are successful, this will not only help you migrate your Phoneslips data, but it will also help all of the other Phoneslips users that have already switched to PhonePad, or are still using Phoneslips and want to make the move.
Oh, one more thing. The migration tool will be free.

]]>The post PhonePad Version 5.77.1, Appointment Calendar 5.9.0, and MessageSender 6.22.0 Have Been Released. appeared first on Cybercom Software Blog.
]]>These new versions of PhonePad, Appointment Calendar, and MessageSender have been released at the same time as they have new inter-related features.
When you view a phone or text (memo) message, you will notice new buttons that allow you to reply, forward, or delete from within the message.
You may be wondering why the Delete button is so far away from the Reply, Forward, and Close buttons.
During testing we accidentally clicked the Delete button instead of the Close button too many times to count. We decided to separate it from the other buttons so that it couldn’t be clicked accidentally.
Phone and Text (memo) messages now have a History tab where you can quickly and easily check the history of messages related to the open one.
Simply select the History tab and then click Refresh.
You can open any message in the History list by double-clicking on it.
I don’t know how many times we’ve been asked for this feature but I’m thrilled to say it’s finally here for all of you using MessageSender and Automatic Message Forwarding.
In the past, when a user received a message via Automatic Message Forwarding, replying to the message resulted in it being sent to the sender’s email software.
Now when you reply to an automatically forwarded message that was sent by email, your reply ends up back in the sender’s PhonePad Inbox!
Here’s an example. Jane was sent a message in PhonePad, and it was forwarded to her email address. She can reply to the email just like she would any other email (the example is in Outlook). What makes the difference is the special MessageSender email account it will be sent to (@messagesender.online).
When the email is received by MessageSender, it will route it to the original sender. This is how it appears in the sender’s Inbox in PhonePad. Note the new icon that now shows in the message type column.
This is what the message looks like when you open it.
No more hunting for replies in your email software, and trying to work out who it’s for as it automatically goes to the right user. If the user deletes the original email content in the reply, just open the History tab and you will find the original message there.
Important: This feature requires MessageSender Version 6.22.0 or higher.
If you don’t want a user to appear in the Provider List in Appointment Calendar, there is a new option in PhonePad for that.
In this example, Jennifer is a reception, not a provider so we don’t want her showing in the Provider List in Appointment Calendar.
To do this, open User Manager in PhonePad, select the user, click Edit,.and uncheck the User is an Appointment Calendar Provider checkbox.
As well as adding a new client within an appointment, there is a new button for editing the client’s details.
If you haven’t tried PhonePad yet then why not download the trial version right now, before you forget?
You get 60 days to try PhonePad (plus Appointment Calendar and MessageSender) for absolutely free! I’m not kidding. There’s no cost to try it.
We don’t want your credit card information. There is no obligation, no type of commitment of any sort.
It’s totally risk-free, so what are you waiting for? If you don’t like it, then delete it.
But while you’re trying it we’re here to help you. We’ll even remotely install it for free if you like. We’ve been around for a long time. Check out our domain name registration (or look it up yourself). Registered way back in 1998.
Download the trial version now!
