Release Notes

General Release Notes:

Custom Reports:  To improve responsiveness to client specific reporting needs, PDS has been upgraded with support for custom reports. These reports are built in the same manner as custom ID Cards, and can be built focusing upon the Structure, Household or Individual. As part of this process, the designer for custom reports/cards has seen substantial improvements in ease of use, and field alignment support.

Address User Definable Fields:  User defined address fields may now be added to records.
 
Additional General Improvements:  Besides the obvious changes, the entire software has had a thorough review in our efforts to make PDS as effective and reliable as possible.
