Electronic Program Updates

As a user of our software you are probably entitled to update it to the latest version at any time, the only proviso being that the software is covered by current software maintenance. To have current maintenance, the software should be within it’s original cover period from sale (usually a year), under maintenance contract or under a rental agreement.

  • We are continually refining and developing our software. Updates can be done on as much as a daily basis. We don't 'hold back' software for specific release dates - our software is released as and when it has been written and tested.

Click here for instructions on how to install your program update.

  • Keep up to date with the latest software changes with our news.

If you have the Platinum "Personnel Planning" module, by enabling "Personnel Planning Integration" in your "Workshop Management" system parameters, under "General Job Parameters (2)", you can now use the "Personnel Planning" diary summary screen to assist in planning out the allocation of technicians to jobs. The function may be accessed using Ctrl+F6 from the "Workshop Diary", "Job Properties" and "Job Schedule" screens.

  • This feature depends on the allocation of a "User code" to each technician in "Labour Code Properties". Only users linked with a labour code will show up in the diary summary screen in this mode.
  • "Personnel Planning" diary appointments may now be marked "Unavailable for work", and any appointments marked in this way will show up as an "appointment clash" if they coincide with a "Workshop Management" job time allocation.
