  6. Customizable message window at Login - Make every system unique with a customisable message or image upon login.
  7. Increased panel capacity - The main control panel capacity has now been increased from 60 panels per account to 100 panels allowing larger projects to be accommodated and providing increased expansion capability.

  9. Time & Attendance Report - This has been enhanced to allow for individual reports by area.
