The following is adapted from ASIMUT Support’s article on what’s new in ASIMUT version 3.3.
This new version is due to be added to NIDA’s ASIMUT system in the period 17 June 11pm to 18 June 2am.
The article has the following sections:
- Public interface: New date and time pickers
- Public interface: Bug fixes
- Advanced interface: New ‘Edit person groups’ page
- Advanced interface: Clash check via availability icons
- Advanced interface: Bug fixes
Public interface: New date and time pickers
The date and time pickers for creating bookings in the public interface have been changed.
Typing and selecting behavior is very different from desktop computers to smartphone. Therefore we decided to differentiate between bookings on device relying on keyboard and mouse and touch devices. In both versions, the new date and time pickers offer different waysto select date and time, so the user can choose her favorite option, and she can do so with considerably less clicks and strokes as before.
On desktop computers and laptops, clicking into either field will not only open a new, fully keyboard-navigable picker dialog. The date and time information is now mutable text, so you can simply type date and time and skip the picker dialogs altogether.
On touch devices users can choose as well between selecting their date and time via completely new date and time pickers - designed specifically for minimal required touch interactions on mobile devices - or by using the browser keyboard.
Please watch this video to see the new date and time pickers in action

The following Advanced Interface changes are only visible to power users and admins in ASIMUT |
Advanced interface: New "Edit person groups" page
The first page in this transition is the "Edit person groups"-page. We have prepared a video to demonstrate the new feel of the page.
And here just a few highlights:
The new search and select options allow you to find and bulk edit exactly those person groups you need
The counters on top of the person group list will show you how many groups fit your filtering option, how many fit your search inputand how many you have currently selected
Bulk editing members of groups works the same way as you know it from bulk editing events in an arrangement - but better! You cansee the roles of the current group members. If they have different roles in different groups, the list will display this in a convenientway.
Adding persons to groups has been improved significantly: The person fly-out (i.e. the suggestion list that comes up when you starttyping) is navigable by keyboard.
To move up and down the list, use the up and down arrows.
To select from the currently highlighted person to the next person you click, hold "Shift" when clicking on the second person
To select multiple person throughout the list, hold "Ctrl" while selecting the user
To select the person(s) highlighted in the list, hit "Enter"
To change the role of one or several users, highlight the users and press "Alt" + "R". Press the keys multiple times to circle through the roles in your system and until the desired role appears..
How to use the new versions
If you want to use the new version of the "Edit person groups" page, you can opt-in under your user settings (ASIMUT-menu → User settings).
Clash check by clicking on availability icons
A key functionality in ASIMUT is the clash checking function. It ensures that you do not double book locations and that you are beingwarned when you are about to double book a person.
Sometimes you need to accept a clash because you cannot resolve it just yet and need to get back to it later, or maybe the clash wascreated by someone else after you last worked on the event. In these cases, it is helpful to be able to bring the clash checker up withoutsaving the event - after all, your intention is to clash check, not to save.
This is why you can now bring up the the clash checker by clicking on any of the availability icons, whether this specific resource hasclashes (
) or not (
)

Advanced interface: Bug fixes
Inactive tags field not expanding
Inactive tag fields did not expand according the the tags they hold on the event edit page in the advanced interface.
Redundant "Choose a location" dialogue box
When opening the "multiple locations" wizard, but not typing in the locations text field, a dialogue box reminding you to "Choose a location" would pop up unnecessarily.
