Features

Documentation Search Bar

You can now search the BOSS documentation directly within theBOSSapp. To access it, click the ‘?’ icon in the top right corner near your profile button.

Type in any topic and relevant results from the documentation website will be displayed.

Job & Project Budgeting

Projects and jobs will now display budgeting information and will be flagged as over budget if the sum of all deliverables or the value of all time spent exceeds the respective Budget/Contract Values.

As before, when setting up external projects, it is mandatory to enter a Budget/Contract Value (previously called Estimated Value) on the Details tab of your project or job.

For more details, including how the budget, effort and actual values are calculated, please click here.

Quick Organisation Switching

If you are a member of multiple organisations in BOSS, you can now quickly switch between the last three organisations that you used by clicking your profile picture in the top-right corner and then selecting a ‘recent organisation’ from the list.
