Update 606 7 July 2019	Asset Management: It is possible to add / edit Defect Owners (HOPS > Asset Management > Asset Managers). Permission 330 required. It is possible to select, for each asset manager, whether or not new defects can be assigned to this manager (as it may be desired that defects go into triage first, and are assigned to an owner from there) The defect list for each owner can be viewed from this page, in list form or NEW job sheet format. This is useful where it is required to give details of the defect to an individual fitter for attention, and the fitter can then write the rectification work on the sheet and sign it to give a good audit trail for the completion of the work.
Update 330 30 July 2016	A tick-boxes function is now available in the operations calendar to allow the adding and removing of timetables and modifiers to many days in one operation. The facility is available to users with permission 14 (Edit Operations Calendar) and is available in the columnar view (only). This will hopefully help with your 2017 preparations! Please let me know if you find any problems. Thanks Danny S.
