DynaCal User News & Tips

Spring Release is Here!

These new features were recently released to all Facility Manager Edition users....Here's the scoop: 

Work Order Reporting – We’ve added a reporting feature to the Work Order tab that gives you access to all Work Order data in a convenient table; with just a few mouse clicks, data can be sorted, filtered and arranged to your exact specifications. Created reports can also be saved, printed or exported. This reporting feature is perfect for creating cost analysis, building use and labor utilization reports!

Services –The new Services feature allows you to schedule vital services such as Custodial, Exterior and Interior Lighting, Audio/Visual, and HVAC along with any Resource.  And just like Resources, Services can be viewed separately on the Reservations tab, may have Setup Information and Questions attached to them, and established Blackout Periods. There's even a new Resource Report specifically for Services! Click here to see a short demo

Setup Questions – All Resource Setup Questions that exist within your organization are now maintained on a single master list. When adding or editing a Resource or Service, simply select the desired Setup Questions from the master list. New questions can be added to the list “on the fly” to keep you moving. This nifty time-saver means you’ll never have to retype a Setup Question again! Click here to see a short demo

Work Orders, Services and Setup Questions are available to all Facility Manager Edition users. For assistance with these new features, or if you're not currently using our Facility Manager Edition and want to take advantage of these great new features, contact us today! 1.866.984.3962 or support@dynacal.com.

Spring Release 2010

DynaCal is pleased to bring you these new features….coming soon!

Work Order Reporting – In response to customer feedback, we’ve added a reporting feature to the Work Order tab. You will have access to all Work Order data in a convenient table; with just a few mouse clicks, data can be sorted, filtered and arranged to your exact specifications. Created reports can be saved, printed or exported in PDF or XLS format.  This reporting feature is perfect for creating cost analysis, building use and labor utilization reports! This is a perfect tool to help keep track of where time and money are being invested!

Services –There are many vital services that are frequently needed in conjunction with events at your school or church; i.e. Custodial Services,  Exterior and Interior lighting, Food Services, Audio/Visual , and Heating & Cooling.  The new Services feature allows you to schedule these Services along with any Resource.  And just like Resources, you have the ability to create Services (with their own Setup Information and Questions), decide which Resources to include them, view by Service on the Reservations tab, and run reports based on the Service(s) you select. You can even establish Blackout Periods for Services!

Setup Questions – All Resource Setup Questions that exist within your organization will now be maintained on a single master list. When adding or editing a Resource or Service, simply select the desired Setup Questions from the master list. And not to worry – if the question you need isn’t on the list, it can be added “on the fly” to keep you moving. This nifty time-saver means you’ll never have to retype a Setup Question again!

Work Orders, Services and Setup Questions are available to all Facility Manager Edition users.

Work Orders - Print

You asked - we responded! We've added some new functionality to our Work Order (beta) feature. You can now print Work Orders directly from the Work Order tab. Simply point to the name of the Work Order you wish to print and select "Print" from the menu. How easy is that?!

Next up - Work Order Reporting! This feature will allow you to create and customize Work Order reports, and analyze Work Order data for your organization. Thanks to all of you who have given input and  suggestions for this upcoming feature!

The Work Order feature is available to all Facility Manager Edition users. If you have questions about Work Orders, or DynaCal's user Editions, please contact us by email or toll-free 1.866.984.3962.

Work Order Requests Have Arrived!

This week we’re introducing the newest member of the Work Order family….Work Order Request forms!  You can now create a link to a Work Order Request Form, and distribute that link to anyone in your organization who may submit requests for Work Orders. With just a few clicks, they can submit their detailed work order requests directly to the DynaCal user with edit rights to that Work Order category. But don’t worry, every request must be reviewed and acted upon before becoming an “Open” Work Order!  Work Order Request Forms are designed to streamline the Work Order process for your organization, saving time & energy, and eliminating the “paper shuffle.”
