Enhancements

  • Customised MyCascade name: The IRIS Cascade user menu now reflects any value changes to made to MyCascade in System Properties > Text Customisation.

User interface restyle

Fixes and enhancements

  • Update Vehicle Mileage Scheme: Background colour made consistent on Update Vehicle Mileage Scheme dialog in Admin > Vehicle Mileage Schemes.

  • Standard dashboard charts: Visual improvements to standard dashboard charts in HR, Payroll, Training, and Recruitment.

    These changes are visual only. This will not affect the functionality you are used to.

  • Tables in dark mode: All dashboard tables now display correctly in dark mode.

    This applies to tables only, some other chart types are still displayed as white in dark mode.
