Highlights
This period has focussed on delivering further advances in cost centre management, continual improvements to the featureset of our Microsoft Graph synchronisation engine, and refinements to the user experience for organisations managing large datasets.
User Cost Centre Tracking
We have integrated a comprehensive cost center tracking system to support complex booking and reporting requirements. This includes:
Posting Type Management: Added a new administration page for managing Posting Types (Konteringstyper).
Employee Number Integration: User profiles now support an "Employee Number" field, which is fully mappable via Azure AD and Microsoft Graph user imports.
Notification Transparency: The assigned cost centre and meeting place are now included in booking confirmation emails to improve clarity for both organisers and catering staff.
