What's new in Delphi Diagramming?
Take a few minutes to read about each of the new features listed below and then review the release notes for additional information on the release.
Diagramming announcement: New 3D
Get ready to take your diagrams to another level! In July of 2023, 3D Diagramming went through a makeover giving you enhanced imagery and new controls for a more immersive experience. Following our previous announcements, this announcement serves as notice that the classic 3D experience has been decommissioned.
If you have not done so already, now is the time to enable and start using this upgraded feature at your property. If you have used 3D in the past and have customized your resources, the customizations need to be updated to the new 3D. If you are new to 3D, we have a help topic to get you started. See the Activate 3D section of Diagrams in 3D for more information.
New user experience
Did you notice anything different when you logged in today? You have a brand new user experience! This sleek new design provides you with a beautiful, user-friendly interface on the pages you use most often.
While it might take you a few moments to get acquainted with the new design, rest assured that all the existing features of the system remain the same. Along with this exciting update, Online Help has been completely updated to guide you throughout your day. Click Help () on any page, and the corresponding help topic opens inline. This prevents you from needing to toggle back and forth between tabs as you work through your tasks. You can drag the inline help bar to your preferred size, and, if you don't need help, that's okay! Click Close (
), and the inline help page disappears.
Navigation menu
Find your way around the new user experience with ease. At the top-left of every page is an icon () to expand the Navigation menu. When expanded, this new menu is your one stop shop for all areas of the system. Users with an Admin role also have access to an Administration option that displays all Diagramming pages specific to administrators.
Home page
Welcome to your new Diagramming Home page! When you log in, this page is the first thing you see. The page is divided into three sections to help you access the information you are most likely to need. The sections include: Recent Bookings, Recent Diagrams, and Upcoming Arrivals. As you navigate the system, you can always find your way back to the Home page by clicking Home in the new Navigation menu (). To learn more about the Home page and the details of each section, see Home.
Recycle Bin
Oops! There is nothing worse than accidentally deleting a diagram you have spent valuable time perfecting. From now on, all deleted rooms plans, bookings, events, and diagrams go to the new Recycle Bin. Deleted items stay there for 30 days before being permanently deleted from the system. The next time you accidentally delete a diagram, find it in the Recycle Bin and restore it. That's it! It's like it never happened. See Recycle bin for more information.
New movement controls in 3D renderings
Navigation within your 3D diagram has improved to help you explore your meeting space like never before. When you view your room diagram in 3D, the following functions are now available:
- Use your mouse pointer to direct a destination circle on your page, and click the mouse button to go to that destination.
- Hold your mouse button down and move the mouse pointer to look around in any direction.
- Use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom your view in and out.
If you prefer to use your keyboard for navigation, you can use your keyboard arrow keys or the W, A, S, and D keys to navigate the diagram.
