BlueCamroo Release Notes 2.7.0

This month’s release sees a bumper crop of useful new features and improvements to existing processes. Completely new are Timers and the Mass Update feature, while changes to enable email-based Support Ticketing from the Cases area adapt an existing feature to a whole new way of working. Group Tasks enables assignment of tasks to workgroups rather than individuals, and amongst User Interface enhancements we have updated Calendar views, an improved Project Stages view, and an all-new Project Timeline. These Release Notes summarize all the changes, but with so much that is new we are also publishing a short Release Guide that will take you through key new features step-bystep, and show you the necessary setup changes. And of course, the context-sensitive Help that you find throughout BlueCamroo has been updated.

President Ronald Reagan was famous for having all of the day's news (both domestic and international) summarized by his staff into one short page. This also carried over to almost every issue faced by Reagan. He believed (rightly or wrongly) no issue was so complex that it couldn't be summarized in one page.
