New FMS UI - Summer 2011

UAT Workshop Customer Comments…

Very user friendly and I think will be very acceptable to school users.

Only issue is that accounts receivable not updated so looks a bit strange when you go between the areas.

Looks a lot more modern which will please new users.

There will always be users who are unhappy with the changes.

I forgot to bring my glasses to the workshop but I was still able to read from the new FMS screens – I have always needed my glasses to read the screens in the old version.
