Update 1013 26 October 2023	The HOPS-comms messaging system overhauled to New HOPS. * Messages can be constructed and saved as draft to return to later. * Messages no longer constrained to plain text. Header, bold, italic, underline and strikethrough formatting available. * Links can be inserted (with alternative link text). * Images can now be included in messages. * Files can now be included in messages (with option to attach them or not to the email the user receives) * Option to require acknowledgement of the message, and visibility of who has opened and/or acknowledged it. * Messages are now spooled up and sent in the background, so it is no longer necessary for a sender to wait ages for messages to large numbers of users to spool up emails before the form unloads. * The original message is now included when replying or forwarding via HOPS. * Tick box mode for mass-deleting messages and marking all as read/unread. There are no changes to permissions. We hope you like it!
Update 870 15 June 2022	The availability matrix in HOPS has a new 'white stripe' added when a person is fully utilised. A person is considered fully utilised when they have been allocated the number of turns they asked for or, if they indicated 'unlimited', when they have been allocated a turn on every day they are available. This makes it easy to visually distinguish a 'Yes' that is able to be used (green) from a 'Yes' that can't be used as the person is already working their max amount (green with white stripe). If all Ys are green/white, the max utilisation has been reached and therefore the best efficiency from the roster availability.
