Document Management System (DMS)

In previous versions of Easify if you wanted to use the DMS, the path that you set in Easify Options would apply to all users of Easify in your organisation. This made things tricky if each of your users had the DMS files stored in a different local path on their PC.

For example one user might have their documents in C:\Users\Fred\OneDrive and another might use C:\Users\Jane\OneDrive.

To get around this you had to either ensure that each use used the same local path to store their copy of the DMS files or you had to use mapped drive letters to achieve the same.

In Easify V5.2 the DMS path is stored per user, so if you set the path it will only apply to your login.

So if you are storing your DMS files in DropBox or OneDrive for example, you can simply go into Easify Options and set the path to your DropBox of OneDrive folder and you no longer have to make sure the path is the same as everyone else.

Postcode Lookups on Every Computer

Another much requested feature is to be able to purchase one postcode lookup subscription and use it on every computer in your organisation.

Previously, and partly due to restrictions imposed by Royal Mail licensing you had to have a separate postcode lookup subscription for each computer that you ran Easify on.

In Easify V5.2 that restriction has been lifted and you can now use Easify Postcode Lookups on all computers with a single subscription.
