• New streamlined interface with Modules, Helpdesk and Tools which has replaced the old shortcuts menu and the right hand menu
• Eight new standard reports which can be modified for your own use
• Optional capitalised asset flag
• New Contracts Manager module

Fuller details will be included within 'Latest Announcements' at the bottom of the home page.

The new features include:

1. A New streamlined interface with Shortcuts to Modules, Helpdesk and Tools which has replaced the old shortcuts menu and the right hand menu.
   
   Modules provides access to users, CSV importer, disposal, Power Consumption, Contents valuation, License manager and the new Contracts Manager Module.
   
   Helpdesk enables you to create and view tickets.
   
   Tools provides access to Alerts, Undo, Preferences, Images and Documents.
2. A new section has been added to reports named 'Standard Reports' This contains eight standard reports which can be run or modified for your own use. These include
   1. All Agent Managed PCs
   2. Assets older than 5 years in the next 12 months

3. There is a new capitalised asset flag that can be used to identify whether an asset is capitalised or not. When you add an asset you will be able to specify this in the first screen. You can also edit the flag for any existing assets. This flag can then be used to run reports on capitalised assets or to use the standard report 'Capitalised Assets with Cost and Depreciation'
4. There is a now a full Contract Manager module which can be accessed from Modules in Shortcuts. This enables you to create and manage contracts with purchase information, start, finish and renewal dates and contract types and many other contract fields You will also be able to run contracts reports within the reporting system or alternatively you can use the new standard report entitled 'Contracts expiring in the next 3 months' and modify if required for your own use. Anybody who is managing existing contracts using the previous version of the contract manager will now see all these existing contracts managed from within the full Contract Manager module.
