Update 1378 2 February 2026

Arranged of Retail Menus, Pages and Tabs The tabs on the various retail pages have been rationalised, and many options now have their own menu items in the left-hand menu. This is in response to feedback to reduce the number of tabs on each page. There are no major changes to the page content (apart from a few minor tweaks), so everything that was previously available is still available, just in a hopefully-more-intuitive location. I appreciate this may be annoying to start with, but please could I encourage everyone to separate any frustration due to the fact of the change from objective criticism of the location of information? Regrettably HOPS changes are often swamped with objections due to the fact of the change rather than the nature of it, but we must progress and develop, otherwise we wouldn't be here today. I have left a yellow message where things used to be, and the tabs will continue to be displayed for a number of weeks to allow everyone to get used to the new locations of pages. If you find anything that doesn't work properly please let us know. There is one minor change to permissions, in that slightly more settings have been moved from the 'view' permissions to the 'edit settings' permissions. If you find you or one of your users can no longer access something, and there isn't an obvious permission to add, please let us know and we will help.
