Welcome to MissionControl Release 3.0

The main changes you will notice are:

  • There's a new home page--a simple list of the main pages replaces a tabbed page,
  • There's a SiteMap of all available pages (accessible from the Navigators page),
  • The pages from which you print your AVI Reports now ONLY list the report codes of the reports to which you have access--currently many codes are listed, but are inactive, and
  • New group reports are avialable and their usage is logged in the same way as personal and relational reports.

Intermittent Outage

Since 2 pm AEST the ISP who host our website have been having major issues with all the websites they host. Please contact me if this is causing you grief.

In the meantime, I am working to get the parallel site in the UK up and running ASAP. If you have an urgent need to access MissionControl, please contact me and I'll provide you with the link to the UK site.

Thanks,  Paul

MissionColtrol Release 3.0

MissionControl 3.0 is undergoing a final round of testing & will replace the current release of MissionControl in a few days. On the surface, the new MissionControl may not look all that different, however, the software which drives it has undergone a major re-write. The objectives behind the re-write were:

  • to increase reliability,
  • to make it easier to support and maintain,
  • to increase the number of administrative functions that can be devolved,
  • to improve the navigation--i.e. simpler to find one's way around, and
  • to make it simpler to add new functionality.

The main changes you will notice are:

  • A new home page--a simple list of the main pages, rather than a tabbed page,
  • A SiteMap of all available pages (accessible from the Navigators page), and
  • The pages from which you print your AVI Reports now ONLY list the report codes of the reports to which you have access--currently many codes are listed, but are inactive.

MissionControl Release 3.0

It won't be too long now before the new version of MissionControl is released. It may not look too different to users, but it's very different on the inside. A lot of work has been done to make the site more easily maintainable & to get ready for devolving much more of the activities associated with maintenance to others.
