Changes since V4 at a glance:
Crisisworks ID: provides a single ID for signing into all your Crisisworks sites, and is SSO-ready for organisations wishing to use their corporate SSO solution. Crisisworks ID supports multi-factor authentication for increased security.
User Interface: a new, fast and friendly user interface does away with the slow parts of Crisisworks 4, and introduces improvements in nearly every part of the system while retaining familiarity for existing users.
Faster: the system is much faster in nearly every operation, from signing in, going on duty and everyday use through to running reports, performing mail merges, uploading imports and sending communications.
Updated forms: forms and workflows have been upgraded to be easier to use and more consistent.
Working across events: fast event switching and an improved “All Events” mode improves the experience working across multiple events at the same time.
Fast switching between multiple sites: you can now fast switch between all your Crisisworks sites without signing in multiple times.
