Rostering & Financial Reconciliation
The new rostering feature enables full-featured rostering of users across multiple positions and teams, as well as tracking user availability based on shifts and user preference. This has been battle hardened over the past 18 months in use at UnitingCare Recovery in Queensland for their volunteer management, and is now offered as part of Crisisworks' standard feature-set.
And the financial reconciliation module, which was once added only with an extra licence fee, is now also free for all customers. This has also been battle tested and has processed millions of dollars of recovery spend.

Events is now located under Administration
As of Crisisworks 4.9, the "Events" menu, the "Finance" menu and the "Settings" menu are now all located under a new menu option "Administration".
Streamlined Event Selector
The event selector has had a make-over and now includes quick access to switch events, as well as access to key information about the current event — View Currently On Duty and View Roster. Administrators can also View All Events and Create New Event.
Streamlined user profile menu
For busy people with lots of responsibilities, the revised user profile menu now lists your duties only once, even if you're on duty across multiple events.

You can also access your roster availability records from this menu.
