the useable screen space and graphic icons have been added to menus and navigation bars to aid system recognition and familiarity.
A more personalised Agility experience is now available through Version 7 with a new panel allowing users to add a picture and contact information. Agility also now recognises the system features that are visited most by users and presents these in the new ‘frequently used’ menu option.
The same mobile device compatibility principles have also been applied to the frequently used forms in Agility, with navigations being retractable to make best use of the available screen space. The newly designed equipment form also contains some new features enabling asset performance to be analysed in detail.
Building on the very popular asset map feature and recognising that users have varying levels of IT literacy, raising a work order against a specific asset can now be done in a simple one click action. This means any operative can quickly log a breakdown, helping to improve response times and reduce production downtime.
Agility for Android now has even easier to navigate menus with the new release of Version 7 and a range of brand new features. Signature capture, associating multiple checklists, a search facility and making stock issues and returns are all now possible from the Android mobile device, dramatically increasing work and information flow from the mobile device.
“We know from our own mobile license sales which have increased 76% from 2014 and Android’s continued domination of the smartphone and tablet markets just how important the continued development of Agility for Android is” commented David Hipkin Group Managing Director for SoftSols Group.
David continued, “This has been reinforced by the discussions and interest levels we’ve seen at our recent customer events, the marketplace is really embracing Android primarily due to the cost of the actual devices, which are much more affordable than with other operating systems”
“Our development roadmap for 2016 will see further features added to Agility for Android and some really exciting auto-deployment possibilities which will help organisations see significant savings in both administration resources and time”.
Ease of use has been front of mind when introducing other additional features in Agility 7; the new simple helpdesk form enables details of issues to be quickly and intuitively captured and comments can be added to the request enabling history and feedback to be quickly and easily referenced. A new task view allows users to see their scheduled work in their preferred day, week or monthly views. Plus a new multi scheduling tool enables managers and planners to schedule multiple tasks to employees or contractors in one single action.
Tim Tunnard, Commercial Director commented, “The reaction to Agility 7, and feedback on the new features and Agility for Android has been fantastic, we’re going to have a very busy end to 2015!”
