New in GuideConnect 1.27
GuideConnect 1.27 provides a range of fixes and improvements to help you get more from your GuideConnect experience. In this update, there are improvements to Notifications, the Website menu and the Email menu.
The 1.27 update also includes a range of further improvements for print, documents, emails and more.
Improvements
Notification Improvements
Notifications has been moved to the GuideConnect Main Menu. This makes it easier to read notifications such as: ‘new email received’, calendar reminders, ‘device battery running low’, ‘book download complete’ etc.
Notification announcements have now been extended to provide more information.
New functionality has been added to notifications. It’s now possible to open relevant links if they are included in an announcement. These can take you through to the relevant location, such as a new email, or to a new Knowledge Base Article or support video.
New in Emails
- The email ‘Drafts’ option has been moved to the Email menu.
This makes it more convenient to save, complete and send draft emails, particularly if you compose drafts offline or lose internet connection before you send. - Language support is now available for the characters Å Ä Ö, which are now all available to use in emails.
