Staff members can now receive real-time in-app notifications — no more missing task assignments or approaching deadlines because an email went unread. A new notification bell appears in the bottom-left corner of the navigation sidebar and keeps you informed as events happen, directly inside Central-Ops.
When you have unread notifications, the bell displays a badge with the count. Click it to open a slide-out panel showing your latest notifications in order, each with a type-specific icon, title, and timestamp. From there you can mark individual notifications as read or click View all notifications to open the full Notifications page, where you can review your complete history and use Mark all as read to clear everything at once.
Task assignment notifications
When a task is assigned or reassigned to you, you'll receive an immediate notification showing the task title, task number, due date, and who made the assignment. Clicking the notification takes you directly to the task. If you reassign a task to yourself, no notification is generated.
Daily overdue reminders
A daily background process checks for tasks that are overdue or due today and sends a notification to each assigned staff member — so nothing slips through the cracks.
Note: To receive in-app notifications, your account must be linked to an external identity. If it isn't, a warning icon will appear next to your name in the navigation bar with a link to complete the setup.
A new Weekly Office Roster page provides a clear, at-a-glance view of who's in the office each week, accessible from Operations > Office Roster.
The page displays a weekly grid with staff as rows and days (Mon–Sun) as columns, with today highlighted. Staff are filtered by depot and only appear if they are in a role that has the "Shown On Office Weekly Roster" permission enabled.
The clock-on declaration shown on the Driver and Workshop Kiosks can now be customised by administrators from People → Configuration → People Settings.
The declaration text supports markdown formatting (bold, italic, lists) with a live preview alongside the editor. When a staff member clocks on, they are presented with the declaration and must accept or cancel before proceeding. Cancelling returns them to the log in screen without clocking on.
For audit purposes, the declaration text is snapshot at the time of acceptance and stored with the clock-on record, ensuring historical records reflect exactly what the staff member agreed to — even if the declaration is later updated.
Reconciling purchases against supplier invoices and catalogues is now easier — purchase transaction rows in the Part Transactions view now display the supplier's part number, purchase order description, and supplier name alongside the existing part details.
Non-purchase transaction rows are unchanged.
We’ve made changes to the way drivers' Rail Instruction Sheets print when the shift is made up of multiple single direction runs.
Multiple single direction runs
If the shift has the driver doing multiple runs inbound and outbound through the same stations, the Rail Instruction Sheets will print the same way they always have.
Multiple runs inbound & outbound
