September Release

Over the summer we have revamped the online help within the system - there has been a major overhaul of the style, and the content. This is accessible from the "?" at the top of each window. We have also added the ability to mail-merge asset register details into all communications, brought supplier notes up to the same status as property and client notes, and implemented an exciting new screen in the mobile app that allows engineers to "self-allocate" jobs from the unallocated pool of work - all of these can be turned on easily, just let us know if they sound interesting.
