UPDATE: Supervisor Net V9.2.0 & My Monitor V 9.1.3

SUPERVISOR NET: 9.2.0

We’re happy to announce the release of Supervisor Net version 9.2.0.

The main aim of this release is to move as much Computer Reservation configuration as possible from the older Silverlight administration application to Web Administrator. As such, the following is now available in Web Administrator:

  • General -> User Groups
  • General -> Operating Hours
  • General -> Holidays
  • Sites & Locations -> Sites
  • Sites & Locations -> Locations
  • Computers -> PC Group
  • Computers -> PC
  • Computers -> PC Type
  • Computers -> PC Type Notifications

Over the next few weeks, Computer Station, Computer Monitor and Monitor Themes are also going to be added and released as incremental updates, not requiring a full Supervisor Net upgrade on site.
By the end of the year, the remaining Facility Reservation configuration will also be included.

Part of this process has been to re-evaluate the permission structure in Web Administrator and vastly improve it, giving you much more granularity in the permissions that you can grant your staff. Most tabbed options and buttons can now be enabled or disabled. As such it’s recommended that you review the permissions for all user groups on your site after upgrading to this version.

We are continuing to improve the new Web Administrator based upon the feedback from our customers, and there’s a lot more in the pipeline. Keep an eye out for more great improvements and features coming out over the next few months.

MY MONITOR: 9.1.3

We have been hard at work adding a number of big changes to this release. Some of the highlights include:

  • A new workflow has been introduced to help sites move to V9.1 and above if their users do not have email addresses, but use PIN numbers. The system will now prompt them for their PIN before asking them to enter their email address. A password reset email will then be sent to their email address, where they can set their password to use the web applications
  • My Monitor is now able to use funds from secondary accounts (i.e. departments, etc). Great for staff environments. In addition to this, we’ve also added support for adding funds to secondary accounts as well as using credit limits and supporting unlimited credit accounts.
  • The application launcher page has been made far more customisable, adding preamble text, text below icons, choosing a layout for the icons, header, footer and a text block beneath all the icons.
  • ‘Unaccounted Credit Card Transactions’ and ‘Credit Card Transactions in Progress’ can now be automatically purged from the system after a minimum of 60 days. This is set to 90 days by default.

If you haven’t yet checked out our device activation workflow using Laundry Monitor and Monitor Activator terminals, talk to your Monitor account rep for a demo. It’s a fantastic system that can be used for customers to pay for and use virtually any device that can be activated using pulses or a relay. Think of BBQs, games machines (including pool tables), hot water and of course, laundry machines. We’ve included more improvements for this system in this release.
