Crisisworks 4.11 brings a series of enhancements, quality improvements and performance improvements.

Key improvements

  • A tighter security model has been created for limited access users — this improves the experience of delegating tasks to contractors in recovery, FPN and weed treatments.
  • Significant upgrades to our infrastructure provides faster and larger auto-scaling of the environment to cater for peak needs, as well as faster experience overall
  • Multiple improvements have been made to the counters
  • A powerful import facility provides self-service imports for assets, contacts and some registers
  • Regions have been added to allow multiple councils to share a single Crisisworks instance

This release sees a significant performance increase across the board.

  • Saving items is now 69% faster
  • Searching the datagrid is now 56% faster
  • Searching via the mobile app is now 76% faster

Also, our infrastructure now auto-scales more smoothly with load, and it handles larger peak demands.
