Updates

Follow new updates and improvements to Beam Dynamics.

Licenses, Improved Activity Tracking and Ticket Management

New

  • Licenses (BETA): A new module allowing users to track Licenses, their renewal, and asset relationships.

Improvements

  • Last Activity: A new default field is now available across Assets, Tickets, Reservations, Companies, Bulk Items, and Maintenance, making it easier to identify recently updated records.
  • Ticket Quick Actions: Quick Actions now support updating Priority and Company directly from the ticket list for faster ticket management.
  • Status Change Notes: Status change notes are now cleared after use, preventing previous notes from being unintentionally reused.
  • Bulk Items: Minimum Stock, Maximum Stock, and Re-stock Quantity can now be added as table columns for improved inventory visibility.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where adding a company contact displayed duplicate processing messages.
  • Fixed an issue where asset warranty information appeared out of order in Inventory views.
  • Fixed an issue where barcodes from decommissioned assets could not be reused.

  • Maintenance (New Module, Beta): A module dedicated to preventive maintenance schedules of assets and facilities.
