We are pleased to announce the release of PhonePad 5.11.0 Server Update<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The main change in this release is the introduction of our new notification system.\u00a0 A new notification server is built-in to the PhonePad 5 Server. Whenever there are new messages for a user the notification system will send a notification message to their workstation.<\/p>\n

I’ll explain what this means.<\/p>\n

Currently PhonePad polls the server for any new messages at a preset interval.\u00a0 You can set how frequently PhonePad checks for new messages under Preferences<\/em>, for example every 15 seconds.<\/p>\n

With Version 5.11.0 this setting has been moved to System Rules<\/em> so that an administrator can set the checking frequency for every workstation.\u00a0 But along with this there’s also a new option: Dynamic Refresh<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When you select Dynamic Refresh<\/em>, instead of polling the server for new messages at whatever interval you set, the server will use the notification system to update the Inbox message list whenever a message is sent to a particular user.\u00a0 This means that message delivery is now virtually instantaneous.<\/p>\n

Please note that the Dynamic Refresh<\/em> functionality is still in Beta.\u00a0 Although we have been testing it for a while, it is possible there may be some unfound issues.\u00a0 The good news is you can use whichever method you prefer and you can switch methods any time you wish.<\/p>\n

Changes and Fixes<\/h3>\n

\n
• ADDED – New internal notification system for message list refreshing provides instant response – BETA.<\/li>\n
• MOVED – Setting for message list refreshing has been moved from Preferences<\/em> to System Rules<\/em> so that it can be controlled centrally.<\/li>\n
• FIXED – When printing, although the Preview option worked fine, the Print option was not working unless preview was used first.<\/li>\n
• FIXED – When editing a message, the changes were not being propagated to other users.<\/li>\n
• FIXED – AutoBackups were not running when the default schedule was changed.<\/li>\n
• Various minor fixes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Please note:<\/strong> Server Updates must<\/strong> be installed on your Server or Host PC, not your workstation (unless your workstation is also the Host PC) \u2013 they cannot<\/strong> be installed directly on your workstations.\u00a0 Workstations will be automatically updated when PhonePad 5 Workstation is started on each workstation.<\/p>\n

  You can download the update from your My PhonePad<\/a> account or by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

  These updates are available for both fully licensed users and trial users.<\/p>\n

  Please contact Support<\/a> if you have any problems or questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
