We’ve Been Busy This Month, Here are the Highlights:
We are continuing to add new features and functionality to our food safety and quality assurance program. Some of the newest features are:
- Added a new manager reporting area which has shortcuts to useful sections of the program.
- Updated the activities and notifications section, now has an email option to notifications and the ability to group many notifications together.
- Added a notifications area where you can see all your notifications and dismiss then if needed.
- In the Assets Manager, Sensors, & Readings area, we’ve added the ability to assign sensors to the trailers. Added a new sensors area to list all sensors that you wish to track and report on. Added a new sensor readings section to track various types of sensor readings. This is now tracking temperature, but also has the ability to store other data that becomes available.
