Improvement 1 Release

The Improvement 1 release (6.00.01.00) for North America (NA) has just been deployed and the W1 version will follow in the next four to six weeks. The Upgrade Tool Kit (UTK), which is required for existing Navigator customers to upgrade to Improvement 1, is targeted for release by the end of May. The highlights of the release include:

 

  • BudgetVision is our new budget preparation module, which replaces Budget Planning. BudgetVision is designed to handle a decentralized budget preparation process, allowing for the creation of unlimited subplans based on fund/dimension filters specified by the budget administrator. Additional features that streamline budget preparation include calculations, spread methods, and a multi-level approval process.
  • Deposits & Loans is now accessible via the Role Tailored Client, and we redesigned it to significantly enhance the user experience. Three key elements of the redesign are separation of the functionality into two modules (Deposits and Loans, and Investments), the creation of a client-centric view, and task based pages.
  •  MinistryView is now accessible via the Role Tailored Client.
  • Integrated the Dynamics NAV R2 release into our Navigator 6.00.01 release.
  • Redesigned the Position Control feature in Payroll and renamed it Position Management and Org Chart.

 

Portals 3.01 Release

The 3.01 version of Portals for Navigator 6.00.01 will include the introduction of two new portals:

 

  • Budget Center Portal allows users to view the budget subplans they have access to for creating versions, editing, and /or approving. Additionally, they can view Actual vs Budget reports online for their posted budgets.
  • DLI is the Deposits/Loans/Investments Portal that allows the client to view their balances, history, and statements for loans, deposit accounts, and investments.
