1. Further changes to the record screens

Record screens include:

• Property and unit screens
• Tenancy screen
• Task screen
• Work order screen

This release improves the amount of information shown on the main record pages, allowing clients to scroll rather than leave the page.

1. A new summary screen– shows more information by scrolling, rather than using tabs. Over the next few releases, we will be using more of the right-hand side to display further information on the summary page or a record card.
2. Right-hand menu – has now been moved to the left-hand side to create space on the right that we will use over the next few releases.

2. Index page

To help users with smaller monitors, it is now easier to read the work order index page. The new columns, as with the task index page, display more information stacked so that clients can see all the useful information without scrolling across the screen. We will improve an index page with each release. The next release will update the tenancy index page.

3. Communication

1. New manual events feature allows clients to build up a library of emails that can be sent from areas of the system at will.  To understand more click here.
2. Replies via Outlook to incoming messages will look tidier and not display as long pieces of text.
