Enhancements
-
New Cascade left hand menu: IRIS Cascade has a new style of left-hand menu. This change will affect every module and gives a simple layout, with icons for the most important options and a new secondary ‘pop out’ menu helping you to find things faster and also gives you improved keyboard and screen reader access helping us to meet WCAG accessibility guidelines.
More information can be found here.
-
New Admin dashboard: in Admin, we now have a new layout of the menu items. They have been grouped into recognisable sections and there's no longer any submenus. This means all the space on screen is being used to present all the available options to a user.
The sections seen on the admin dashboard screen are matched in the left hand menu. The names of these sections and the icons cannot be changed.
All this has been changed to make more use of the available screen space, allow accessibility improvements and to give the menus a more modern layout.
-
Reintroduced enhanced dashboard chart axis labels - Enhanced dashboard: In a previous release we removed the text labels from certain dashboard charts. These have now been re-added.
Fixes
-
Removed any/all chart animations - Enhanced dashboard: we have removed chart animation that appeared when a chart loaded. This has been done to help meet accessibility guidelines.
-
Days of the week showing diagonally only in chrome browser for Holiday and Leave - Enhanced dashboard: a fix has been applied to Days of the week axis on the Holiday and leave (all) chart where they were showing diagonally instead of horizontally. This only affected the Chrome browser.
