Subscription management is a crucial responsibility for PPO Admins, and having a reliable audit trail is essential. That’s why PPO includes a Subscription Management History Report, providing a detailed record of all changes—complete with timestamps and the user who made each update. To make this report even more accessible, we’ve introduced a new enhancement where PPO Admins can now access the Subscription Management History Report directly from the Subscription Management page.

We’re thrilled to announce our latest product feature which allows you to apply Color Styling to date fields to highlight whether an item is overdue or due within the next 7 days! This new feature brings visual clarity and efficiency to your project planning and tracking.

We have now introduced the ability to mark custom list items as inactive, to avoid some of the pitfalls of the delete option.
