A new look and improved usability for Libacura

Libacura has a smart new look!

And we've taken the opportunity to improve the navigation and usability. Most screens will be familiar to you, although with better layout, clearer content and simpler navigation. We're sure you'll find the new Libacura easier and quicker to use.

There are smart new sortable and searchable tables in several places. You can configure how many rows are displayed and which columns are used for sorting, and any configuration changes you make will be remembered for future visits.

Of course, all your valuable content is still there. A few items have moved, for easier access, notably:
  • The pre-completed and blank registration forms are now available from the "Download" menu on the "Accounts" screen.
  • The list of transactions and payment schedule for an account are now both on the "Statement" tab, rather than on separate tabs.
  • The downloadable statement and individual pre-completed registration form are now available from the "Download" menu for an account.
It's now easier to make or change a booking for any club from an Account screen using the new "Make/change booking" tab which lists all the bookable clubs for the family.

Do let us know what you think! Either post a comment here, or send us an email.

Get more control over bookings by parents

Several of you have asked whether Libacura can be configured to allow parents to create bookings on-line, but not to cancel existing booked sessions. Well, now there's a setting to enable exactly that.

The new setting can be found in the Settings->Booking tab. If the checkbox is ticked, parents who have access to Libacura are permitted to create new bookings and/or add dates to existing bookings, but not to change or delete any dates that are already booked.

More help and a more detailed description can be found in the on-line manual for staff.
