Version 7.0 of BusinessOptix sees a significant upgrade in user interface and experience within the platform. Usability is enhanced through simplified configuration, better formatting, updated interface design and more relevancy between pages or "clicks". Users will find a more modern framework, vibrant colors and shading, updated view options and more. Folder structure, search functions and menu formats were also updated to create a more efficient user experience.
Updated Framework
Site empowerment in v7.0 has been significantly enhanced. Previous versions used a single top menu selection method which led to significantly more clicks for users to land in folders or models within BusinessOptix. The updated version of BusinessOptix allows users to select between grid or list views to ease in navigation and individualize the experience. Version 7.0 utilizes a combination of updated top menu bar categories and left side functional selections to expose more detailed lists. Additionally, users now have better search capabilities find, sort, filter and view content and models. Users can view assigned tasks, see notifications of changes and get access to recently viewed models. New in version 7.0 is the use of a new user profile menu - a clickable icon with the user's initials. Clicking this button drops a list of functions to update profile information, switching between libraries (if user is assigned to more than one library with the same ID) and logging off the system. Administrators will find additional menu selections for for managing the library.
