June Release 2022

In April Chris went to see one of our customers (who has been with us since 2014) to have a catch up review of how they use the system. James, one of our apprentice programmers, went along with him so that he could meet some of our users and participate in the requirements gathering stages of development. Following that meeting we've made a number of small changes to help their processes including several that James has taken from initial report to release - included in this release are three of these relating to prompts for the engineers and captioning on the mobile application.

At the start of last year we dramatically improved how we link to the integrated help within your systems - and whilst we see users accessing and referencing the online help capability for some topics, we think this is an often overlooked feature. To improve the access to the online help we've added a new "Help" menu to all systems that replicates the "?" functionality on all screens - and pre-populated all the top level topics for easy access. We have also added a "New" icon next to it, so hopefully it is more accessible now. This new menu also includes links to all our youtube content.
