It happens, sometimes a project just has to be put on hold. But you don't want it cluttering your list of active work, and it's not 'Lost' either.
So, what do you do? Now, you can officially "Suspend" it.
Suspended projects move to their own separate space, keeping your main view clean. And when you're ready to find them again, a new filter makes it simple. Suspended, yes, but not forgotten.

Remember searching for a task, only to be met with a wall of colour from every other task a person had? It made finding what you needed a bit of a treasure hunt.
We thought that could be much better. Now, when you search, all non-relevant tasks will be greyed out, putting a spotlight on exactly what you asked for. Your search results are now crystal clear.

Tagging colleagues in a comment is great for keeping them in the loop. But having to re-tag every single person just to reply? That’s a bit of a hassle.
To fix this, we’ve added a handy new "Reply" button. Click it, and your comment will automatically be addressed to everyone from the previous message. Less typing, and no more accidentally leaving someone out.

You have to set a new organization in Kompass. And then you'll have to create at least one contact. But most of your clients are private landowners that they are both "clients" and "contacts".
Wasn't it annoying having to go through both pages? We get it. That's why we changed it.
Once creating a new organization for your private individuals, you now have the option to create them as "persons". That option will then create both a client and a contact in one fell swoop.

Qualifications that are expiring, equipment calibrations that are due soon, employees asking for their leave to be approved, and enquiries to be prepared. Too many balls to juggle. Too many places to check. If you could only have a weekly email from Kompass summing up all these points.
Well, you do have this option now. By creating your very own digests (summary or compilation of information that is sent to a user on a regular basis). Decide who will receive these digests, define how often they'll receive them, and design your very own html templates that will list all important information for all the right people.

This is for all the tech-savvy Kompass users who fill in status updates on a monthly basis. Have you ever needed to enter a specific value—for example, a £500 expense on a £4,236.98 proposal item?
Previously, that wasn't straightforward; you had to manually calculate the percentage.
Well, not anymore! You can now add the exact value you need to send to the finance team for invoicing.
It's another small way we're trying to make your workflow feel more natural. We hope it helps!

It has been a pet peeve for some of our users for quite some time and it is now fixed. You can finally type the date at the relevant fields instead of having to navigate through the calendar view. If you need to jump on calendar view, you can still do so by clicking the little icon next to the field. Hurray!

You've been there before, I know you did. Especially for all these monster projects with tens of tens of proposal items. You had to batch add them on a parent, or have many of them excluded, or make them optional, change their GM%, their service, you name it. The only option Kompass was offering is, yep, do it one at a time. Well, not anymore. Here's to the batch editing of proposal items. Simply select the ones you want to batch edit, click Actions, Edit, and voilà!

You know how handy recurring meetings are in Outlook? We wanted to bring that same simple, time-saving power to your projects in Kompass.
Think about those weekly engineer call-outs or monthly reports you have to create. Instead of having to copy and paste all these tasks every single time, you can now just set them to repeat automatically.
It’s one less thing for you to worry about. We hope it helps!

Our invoice module experienced an unprecedent upgrade and we can't even include all the changes (but we'll try). So many things to please the finance and accounting team of your organization.
  • Your invoices now follow a clear path from creation to payment: Created → Submitted → Approved → Posted, a clear path to follow up on the state of your invoices.
  • Notify users when invoices are submitted, approved, rejected etc. and eliminate toiling emails and confusing print-offs from your accounting system.
  • Set accurate permission groups to control who can do what.
  • Mark invoices as "sent to client" and never question again whether they have been actually sent.
  • Make use of the powerful status filters at the top of your invoice list and seek for all invoices per department, manager, service and many more.
  • Create your filter sets and use our power search tools to accurately and quickly locate the invoices you really need.
