Montage January 2016 News

Montage 3.0 was released and looks great!  We have a variety of additional features that will be released in packets as 3.1-3.2 and 3.3.

3.0 added a lot of great features.  If you want to convert to 3.0…it is simple and it is free.  Simply log into your ANDI account and under the Settings tab select Layout.  A list of “versions” will appear. You will see a template demonstrating the look of each version.

3.1 which is in the works is truly amazing!

Here is a preview of what is in development for 3.1:

Cosmetic features:

Although 3.0 looks really cool…especially on our new iPhone looking Kiosk…we were not happy with the way that each widget enlarged…they were lacking pizazz.  We went back to the drawing board on this function and now…they have pizazz.  Instead of filling the center of the screen right to left with a blue background, each has a fun motion and retains its shape and color background.  They are smaller when enlarged and look a lot more balanced.



Each of the widgets now have motion in them while in their inactive mode.  This adds more interest and instantly alerts any patient of the fact that the display is interactive.

The Main Menu with multiple screens will allow users to select any and all widgets from the main screen.  Look at the list of widgets in development here and you will see a ton of new features.



 

Additional Widgets:

Utilize Sling Box technology to stream your cable TV connection onto the Montage board. This feature connection onto the Montage board. This feature expands at a touch and can be set to enlarge if the board is unattended for more than “X” minutes.





 

 

3.2  is in the final stages of development.  Now testimonials and reviews can go to the Website, Montage Board and to Review sites automatically.

The last days of Internet Explorer 8, 9, & 10

Microsoft will end support for older versions of Internet Explorer on January 12, 2016. The versions included to end are 8, 9, and 10.  This leaves Internet Explorer 11 as the last version of the browser supported by Microsoft Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. All users of the older browser versions will be notified at the time of launch to upgrade to a recent browser.

What does this mean?

This means if you don’t have the Internet Explorer 11 version, you better update it now.  Those running the older versions will no longer receive security updates or technical support from Microsoft.  According to Microsoft, “Security updates patch vulnerabilities that may be exploited by malware, helping to keep users and their data safer.”  It’s important for Internet Explorer users to upgrade and stay current to help protect their computers.

What are the risks of running older versions of Internet Explorer after January 12, 2016?

Microsoft has alerted users of 3 risks they can be exposed to if they run older versions after the final date: security, compliance, and lack of ISV support.

Security Risks: Some security risks of running older browser versions include harmful viruses, malicious software that can take your business data, and spyware.

Compliance: Businesses with governing obligations such as HIPAA should follow up to ensure they are able to satisfy the legal requirements while using unsupported software.

Lack of ISV Support (independent software vendor): Several software vendors, such as Office365, use the latest web programs and are created to function properly and best on the latest browsers available.

If you’re still using an older version of Internet Explorer, it’s time to update it now to 11 to prevent complications in the future. If you are ready to take the steps to update now, please see the guidelines on TechNet.
