Welcome to Orbit 7.2

Links added in comments are now automatically converted into clickable links. This improves the user experience by making it easier to access and share relevant web resources directly from Orbit.

Project-related emails have a new design with an improved user interface. Sorting and saved filters are now also available, making it easier to organise and find relevant e-mails quickly.

Annual leave and public holidays are now displayed in the modules for individual and group scheduling. This helps to avoid scheduling conflicts and ensures that no important dates are overlooked during resource allocation.

If you close your browser or a tab with unsaved changes to CVs or references, you will now get a warning. This prevents data loss and ensures that your updates are saved.

It is now possible to filter the team by references based on employee status. This makes it possible to only see employees who are currently employed by the company, providing a current and relevant overview of teams that can be used for staffing future tasks.

You can now mark machines that are no longer in use so that employees can no longer record work on them, while maintaining full historical records. This ensures accurate recording and preservation of important data, making it easier to manage equipment and resources efficiently.

A new area has been added to CRM that offers a global contact list with advanced search, filtering and the ability to save filters. This makes it easier to find and manage contacts efficiently across the organisation.

In Orbit 7.1, the overview of resource consumption on projects per professional group was introduced. In Orbit 7.2 you can now also get detailed reports for phases, activities and tasks. This includes available capacity, total number of activities, tasks, base estimates and registered hours. This provides the project manager with an in-depth overview, which is crucial for punctual project delivery.

Tasks can now be filtered based on project type, allowing you to schedule only specific types of tasks, such as production tasks, for an individual. This improves overview and efficiency by focusing on relevant customer-facing tasks.

You can now filter the reference list on your CV based on whether the reference is quality-assured or selected for export. This makes it easier to manage and describe the most relevant and verified references.

There are now more options for setting up entitlements on time registrations. This makes it possible to ensure that employees can only see their own registrations, improving data security and enabling sickness and maternity leave registration.

You can now create departments with addresses in the CRM, allowing the company's contacts to be linked to specific departments. This provides a more structured overview and offers valuable insight into who is in the sales department, purchasing department, finance department, etc.

The system now alerts when an employee is assigned overlapping tasks from different projects that are geographically distant. This helps to avoid logistical challenges and ensure more efficient resource allocation.

The probability of a sales project being initiated now also affects the planning of tasks on competence groups. This provides a more realistic overview and helps to prioritise resources effectively based on project probability and group capacity.

The reference overview now includes multiple filters, allowing you to filter by who last edited, the number of images a reference has, type, and collaborators. This makes it easier to keep track of changes and manage the references more efficiently.

You can now mark materials that are no longer available so that employees cannot record usage on them, while maintaining full historical records. This ensures accurate recording and preservation of important data and historical overview.
