Staying Informed

Meeting Schedule Assistant is updated regularly with new features and bug fixes.

You can stay informed about new versions in several ways:

Automatic Update Options

Check automatically when application starts

When enabled, a dropdown list becomes available where you can choose how often the software should check for updates:

• Every Day
• Every Week
• Ask before checking, once a week
  The software will prompt you before performing the check.

Do not check for updates

Select this option if you prefer not to perform automatic update checks.

When selected:

• No automatic update checks will occur.
• The Check for Latest Schedule Information option (below) is disabled.

Default setting: Do not check for updates.

Check for Latest Schedule Information

This option allows the software to periodically check whether newer Meeting Workbook schedule data is available.

It becomes enabled only when:

• Check automatically when application starts is selected, or
• Ask before checking, once a week is selected.

If Do not check for updates is chosen, this option is disabled.

Default setting: Unchecked.

Submit Workbook Request Statistics

This setting controls whether anonymous usage data is submitted when you request Meeting Workbook data.

The Submit Workbook Request Statistics checkbox is enabled only when Check for Latest Schedule Information is turned on.

Default setting: Unchecked.

If this option remains unchecked, a confirmation popup appears each time you request workbook data, asking whether you want to submit anonymous statistics.
