Update 198 3 February 2013	We have implemented two new permissions in HOPS which apply to receiving HOPS updates: Receive Client Update Emails (permission 169): Everyone receiving this e-mail has been allocated new permission number 169, which is a mailing list for Railway HOPS Administrators and Operations Managers. We will send occasional important updates to railway clients via this mailing list, so please make sure at least one person at your railway keeps this permission. This is simply a replacement for the manual mailing list I used to keep. You can adjust who has the permission in the normal way via System > Permissions Admin. Receive Update Emails for all updates (permission 168): There is also a new permission number 168. Users allocated this permission will receive an email updates for all HOPS updates. This is everything that appears on this update list, so is ideal for keeping up to date with all the very latest HOPS developments. We will be adding a button on the System Updates page to allow users to allocate themselves this permission if they wish to subscribe.
Update 169 20 October 2012	Notifications of updates to Operations Notices, General Documents and Department Documents has now been made a separate permission in its own right. Previously all those with permission to view the notice would have received an update. This is in response to growing pressure from non-operational departments, such as shop staff, who don't wish to receive operations documents. Three new permissions have been added: 155 - to receive notifications for Operations Documents. 156 - to receive notifications for General Documents. 157 (department-specific) - to receive notifications for Department Documents. All those with the current 'view' permission have been automatically assigned the new permission numbers as well, so nothing will change from what you're used to, unless you unassign those permissions. For operations notices: Everyone with view permission 83 has been given notifications permission 155. For general documents: Everyone with view permission 99 has been given notifications permission 156. For department documents: Everyone with view permission 29 has been given notifications permission 157 (department-specific). In most cases I imagine 83 (and now 155) was in most railway's 'All Live Users' group, so if you have some departments who you wish to not receive updates I suggest you remove 155 from you 'All Live Users' group and assign it specifically to the Department Groups whose members you wish to receive updates. NOTE. In all cases, a notification will only be issued when the person uploading the new document ticks the relevant box on the form. Any problems - let me know! :)
