What changes were included in the August 2019 release?

 

 

Summary

Nightingale is updated monthly with both new features and general improvements.  These are based on valuable feedback from our clients as well as our overall development planning.  It's important to us that you know about these updates and improvements in advance so that you can best evaluate the potential impact on your organisation and your increasing workflow efficiencies and your clients' experience.  This also gives you time to notify your team regarding the updates.

These updates will now occur generally on the fourth Thursday of the month after hours.  This next release is planned for 30 August.  General fixes will be updated as appropriate and will not wait to be implemented with the monthly releases.
