New Features
New UI for STEP is designed for SaaS systems
The new UI is designed for SaaS deployments and configured to receive continuous updates. This ensures users benefit from the latest enhancements and enjoy an improved, seamless experience.
Work area menu removed
When opening a Work Area, the Menu is no longer available, and has been permanently removed. This is because all functionality included within the Menu was redundant and is still available throughout the new UI. Additionally, the removal of the Menu gives the user more screen space to work with while in the new UI.
