What we shipped, in plain language.

The company logo was silently dropped from every PDF the product prints — invoices, orders, notes, statements — and replaced with an invisible placeholder. Nothing failed and nothing was logged; the documents simply came out unbranded.

Logos are now embedded directly into the document, which fixes every commercial document at once without weakening the protection that stops a tenant-edited layout fetching anything it likes from the internet.

Action items can now be owned by anyone on the project roster, not only by an employee — and the transfer routes the task to the right customer contact, vendor contact or employee. The commonest real case, an action on the customer, was previously untrackable.

The minute and the action register now show whose side an owner is on, because an action owed by the customer reads very differently from one owed internally.

Record a meeting the way it actually happens: an agenda, who attended, what was discussed, what was decided, and who is doing what by when. The minute is then printed as a PDF and circulated by email to the attendees.

• A meeting does not have to belong to a project — a management review or a vendor call is a first-class record of its own
• Minutes are numbered through the configurable document numbering rules; a company that has not configured a series gets a sensible one automatically
• A minute prints and circulates even where print layouts or an email channel have never been set up
• Circulation that reaches nobody is reported as a failure and leaves the minute where it was, rather than marking it circulated

Administrators: re-seed roles after this upgrade to grant the meeting permissions.

A new Project People page holds everyone involved in a project — your own employees plus customer and vendor contacts — and meeting attendance is taken from that roster instead of typing a name and an email address into each minute.

• Names, organisations and email addresses are read live from CRM and vendor master data, so a contact renamed there is renamed on every minute that cites them
• Enrolling people is done in bulk, and offers only the people not already on the roster
• External people are not schedulable: they do not enter capacity planning, the labour roll-up or the project resource count

An action item agreed in a meeting can be transferred into Task Management in one step, and from then on the task is the record of progress — the minute keeps the record of what was agreed. Two separately-editable statuses for one piece of work drift within a week, and then nobody can say which is true.

• The transfer reports exactly why any item was not taken — no due date, or an owner with no record to point at — instead of quietly inventing one
• Transferring the same item twice does nothing the second time
• The action item shows the live status of its task

If a later approval step’s role had no active member, the note became stuck: the first approver approved it, the next step went live with nobody able to act on it, and the note stayed in Pending Approval — looking un-approved to the very person who had just approved it — with no way out from inside the application.

• Submission now checks every remaining step up front and refuses, naming the role that needs staffing, while the note can still be corrected
• Notes stranded before this fix can be recovered by an administrator — either re-routed once the role is staffed, keeping the approvals already given, or returned to draft

The reason list on a debit or credit note now reads in business terms — goods return, price adjustment, additional discount or rebate, quality issue, billing error, short supply, rate difference and order cancellation.

All 46 Real Estate lists now fetch one page at a time instead of loading every record into the browser, so a portfolio with a long history of payments, leases and inspections opens as quickly as a small one.

• Searching, sorting and filtering are done by the server over the whole list, not over the page on screen
• Excel export writes out everything the filter matches, not the visible page
• Sorting on a column the server cannot order by is no longer offered, instead of being accepted and ignored

Simulate shows the journal entry a note would post — which side the payable or receivable lands on, which offset and tax accounts take the counter entry, and whether it balances — straight from the form, before the note is saved, submitted or approved.

• The preview is built by the same engine that does the real posting, so it is the document you will get
• A supplier with no control account, a tax code with no GL account, or a closed period are shown beside the preview as blockers, while the form is still editable
• Nothing is written and no document number is used up — an abandoned preview costs nothing

Rent Roll, Lease Expiry, Rent Arrears, Occupancy & Vacancy, Property Income & Expense and Tenant Ledger, each filterable and exportable.

• Occupancy is derived from the leases that are actually running, not from a status field somebody has to remember to update
• Property income is what was received, never what was billed — the two differ by exactly the arrears the Rent Arrears report exists to show

A cash sale is a tax document, so it now prints as a full invoice rather than only as the on-screen till receipt.

• Two layouts from the same document: an A4 tax invoice for the customer and statutory copy, and an 80mm roll for the till printer
• Company header, party details, HSN and tax columns, tax summary and the amount in words
• Every reprint is marked DUPLICATE, so the original copy stays identifiable
• A missing company address, logo or customer address never stops the printout — the cashier is waiting

A new screen under Administrator lets an authorised user browse the application’s own tables: choose a table, choose which columns to show, filter and sort them, page through the rows and export the result.

• Paging, sorting, searching and filtering all happen on the server, so a table with millions of rows opens as quickly as a small one
• Only tables belonging to your own company are browsable — platform-wide tables shared between tenants are never listed
• Sensitive columns such as password hashes and secret keys are removed everywhere they appear, and cannot be filtered, sorted or searched on either

Administrators: the permission is granted to no role by default. Grant View Tables to the roles that should have it after re-seeding roles.

The explorer has no way to edit, insert or delete a row, by design and not merely by hiding the buttons. A table maintenance screen bypasses every validation, posting rule and audit trail the application has.

Where data genuinely needs correcting, that is what the Operations Console and its reviewed, permission-gated commands are for.

After the export permission gate shipped, some grids — Sales Orders most visibly — could fail to draw with a scripting error, and row selection or column sorting could stop responding. Which grids misbehaved depended on which screens had been opened first in that session, which is why it looked intermittent and why it behaved differently on a fresh sign-in.

• The gate now applies to each grid individually, instead of altering behaviour shared by every grid in the application
• Where a tenant has withdrawn no export rights, the grid is left completely untouched — a change that takes nothing away should do nothing at all
• Screens no longer load export machinery they never use, so they load lighter

Pick a case, or choose “Replay on map” from the case drawer, and a token walks that case’s real trace from start to end. Everything the case never touched dims, the step being traversed highlights, and the node the token sits on glows.

• Play, pause, restart, scrub, and speeds from 0.5x to 4x
• Waiting time is compressed so one five-day gap cannot consume the whole replay — which makes the token’s speed deliberately untruthful, so the real gap is always shown as text alongside

Only the edges carrying a substantial share of the busiest path animate. Animating a dense map wholesale is noise; restricting it makes the motion itself informative — the moving arrows are the mainstream path.

Motion is switched off entirely for anyone whose system requests reduced motion.

Any signed-in user could export the full contents of any grid they could open, to Excel or PDF, regardless of role. Two new permissions now control it: Export to Excel and Export to PDF.

• Applied uniformly to every grid in the application — not screen by screen, so a new screen cannot ship ungated by accident
• Enforced on the server for the export endpoints as well as hidden in the interface: the toolbar button is presentation, the server check is the control

Administrators: grant these permissions to the roles that need them as part of this upgrade.

Earnings, allowances, overtime, terminal benefits, deductions, statutory and technical wage types are seeded into every tenant, so compensation plans, income-tax records and payslips can be configured immediately instead of starting from an empty list.

Seeding is keyed on the wage type code, so a re-run changes nothing and an administrator’s edits to an existing wage type are never reverted.

The Inventory Dashboard grouped receipt history by material and stamped that one date on every batch of it. Batch-managed stock therefore reported a single age for every batch:

• On the goods-receipt basis, the material’s earliest ever receipt was applied to everything, so stock received this morning was reported as months old and fell into the wrong ageing bucket
• On the last-receipt basis, one new receipt reset the reported age of all existing stock of that material to zero — hiding genuinely old stock from the slow-moving and write-off reports, which is the dangerous direction

Each batch is now aged from its own history, with the material rollup used only for stock that is not batch-managed. A back-dated report also no longer picks up receipts that had not happened yet.

The report date used to change only the age arithmetic — the quantities were always today’s, so an “as at 30 June” report showed current stock against June ages and could never tie to the stock balance on that date.

• Quantities are now reconstructed for the chosen date by rolling back the movements since, so the report ties to the balance as at that date
• A NEW stock class separates recently-arrived stock from the ageing buckets it would otherwise distort
• Ageing policy — bucket boundaries and the ageing basis — is set per company

Foreign-key lookups now resolve on keys that are genuinely unique, a lookup field is only ever upgraded to a better one, and a date typed into a date-and-time column is accepted instead of rejected.

Uploading a corrected version of a file created a second copy of every row rather than matching and updating the existing ones. Matching is now reliable, and soft-deleted rows no longer claim a key they should have released.

A lookup can be constrained to a subset of candidate records, so an ambiguous name resolves within the right scope. A separate utility identifies and merges tasks that earlier uploads duplicated.

The worksheet no longer opens empty until a paging control is touched, and a second attempt to save the same set of edits no longer reports “Nothing to save”.

The task list can be narrowed to a due-date window, and a change to a task’s planned end date is noted in its chat, so the reason travels with the date.

The task worksheet gains a Pivot Analysis tab, and both the worksheet and the pivot remember your layout — column order, widths, grouping and filters — as named variants saved per user.

A task that has not been finished is now its own status. It renders in the ordinary colour and only turns red once its planned end date has passed, so “not done yet” and “overdue” stop looking the same.
