Many small UI tweaks have been rolled out across the app to improve usability on tablet devices

It is now possible to refresh Loc8 using the browser refresh action whilst retaining currently selected workspace, views, filters and so on

When updating an entity from the mini inspector, jobs for example, you will see the changes reflected in the main jobs list rather than being forced to refresh the workspace

Expanding on the contact type grouping functionality introduced in our August release, now when you edit a field, for example Alternate contact on a job, the listed contacts are filtered to only show those relevant to the job you are editing. This means you won't see unrelated customers, or contacts for unrelated customers. If you need see all contacts however, there is an action to show all.

Further expanding on the contact type grouping functionality, workforce contacts now show their license type so that you can easily differentiate users, technicians and contractors, and customer contacts also show which customer they are associated to

When managing your workspace views, you can now filter out those that are yours and those that are shared with you. In addition, for shared views, you can also see the name of the owner
