New Bookings, Reports, Group Booking Engine, Users and MyCard

This latest release introduces several enhancements, as well as some important bug fixes, all of which are detailed below and in MyPMS Release Notes - July 24, 2016.

Service downtime will be no more than 30 minutes, so please plan accordingly. There is nothing you need to do to prepare for this update. However, we do recommend printing out any registration letters for guests who are checking in late.

A notice of the scheduled downtime will be posted for all MyPMS Users on the Front Desk in the "System Messages" area prior to service interruption.
