We have introduced a new level of user in this Field ID release. Currently there are Full and Read-Only users. The new Lite User will fit right between the two of them. Lite users are purchased just like Full Users but at a reduced cost.

Here is how the three user types look side-by-side:

The other change with this is if you have Read-Only users you will now be able create Read-Only users for Employees of your company. This will allow them to login and run reports and view data.

This page shows everything from the attribute information  to the last event that was performed. The current asset home page has remained unchanged for almost two years now. While the current design works well, the layout of the information isn’t the most efficient. We have attempted to make the presentation of the Asset Home page more streamlined, easier to read and show more information. Read a blog post dedicated to this new features.
