ITAS Release 8.3.3.367
1st September 2015
This release builds on the Floating Panel functionality delivered in 8.3.2. In particular the History Tab introduces the concept of ITAS Entity and Windows and History menu links have been removed from the main menu and replaced with a single icon for the float panel.
Administrators now have the ability to send a message to all users which will be automatically shown to all users, this is useful when requiring users to log off prior to an update.
Several smaller updates include adding a thick windows border so users can resize the application from any edge, enabling the TD to be pinned to the Windows Task Bar and making use of the Windows ‘Snap’ feature to make using ITAS across multiple monitors easier.
