Feature Releases
Parent Dashboard
Hot on the heels of our Single Company Dashboard (Released 6th September), we have today released our Parent Dashboard. If you're a user of more than one company, the Parent Dashboard will be your new landing page when you log into Lightyear, give you an in depth overview of all your accounts in an way that's easy to digest. Check out our guide to Dashboards and the Parent Dashboard here
Improvements
- Communications has been renamed to 'My Tasks'. This more accurately reflects the purpose of this function, which is to approve task and view sent tasks.
- Billing and users has been moved under the collapsible settings Menu. These functions are not accessed regularly and customer feedback has suggested that they are better placed within the collapsable settings menu to de-clutter the left hand navigation menu.
