New Features, Improvements, and Updates 

• Via the 'My Profile' area of Affinity a user can now specify which dashlets / panels appear on the dashboard. This is configured on a per user basis, meaning different users within the same organisations can have different dashboard views.
• Link to Statement added to the Balance figure within the Tenant Balance Alerts dashlet.
• Additional configuration option added that, when set, work orders and quote requests, when emailed from Affinity will originate from a central maintenance email address, rather than the email address of the Affinity user who initiated the action.
• Quick Search updated to return matches of the following:
  • Property eircode
  • Tenant eircode (secondary address)
  • Tenant mobile
  • Tenant phone
  • Supplier mobile
  • Supplier phone
• Additional column added to Property Work Orders export - Local Authority
• Property Inspection Types are now customisable via the Admin (Settings) area
• New feature added to the Tenant Correspondence area to allow the logging of emails to / from the tenant. Note that this feature is NOT an email client, i.e. it's not possible to send or receive miscellaneous emails.
