HOW ROOMWIZARD INTERFACES WITH OTHER PROGRAMS
API
RoomWizard contains an XML-based Application Programming
Interface (API) that allows RoomWizard to send to and receive
information from a server-based corporate calendar system. The API
also describes the specific method by which this communication can
take place. This allows a programmer to write synchronization software
that establishes communication between RoomWizard and an existing
reservation system. The API depends on the synchronization software
to accomplish this synchronization. See RoomWizard API at www.
steelcase.com/roomwizard.
Mail server integration
If your network includes an SMTP server, RoomWizard can access it
to send email messages.
RoomWizard can send reminder emails about upcoming meetings
and system-function reports.
To configure a RoomWizard for SMTP access, add the SMTP server
address to the RoomWizard’s setup pages. See “RoomWizard
Settings” on page 53.
