• • All aspects of the application are now under the new licensing model, therefore there may be application functionality that a user was previously able to access without an explicit license. This access will now require the appropriate license.
  • As part of the named license implementation the same username should not be used across different browsers or machines as this will cause the earlier session to be logged-off. That is if I use my login on Chrome then also simultaneously on IE, then the IE session will log out the Chrome session. Or if I'm logged in on Chrome then also simultaneously log in on Chrome from another computer, then my earlier session will be logged out. However, your login remains valid in the same browser across multiple tabs and windows on the same machine.
• User List - The [View Other Subcontractors Information] permission has been integrated for the Subcontractor Portal to determine whether the list is pre-filtered for a subcontractor context, and limits the users listed to the same company as the current user.
• Site Maps
  • The "Admin V4" site map that is default for the workbench user has been restructured to align with the standard client "Admin Master" site map, although it continues to include additional screens that may not be available or apply to the client.
  • The user's site map now auto hides any items that are not licenced to the user to ease access management. A user site map can now be setup based on their appropriate access and these become visible as the licences are allocated.
• Reporting Types - Additional criteria conditions have been added to report type to support th between, <= and >= operators.
