In this update, I'll run through two of the recent updates that we've made to the software. Many updates begin as user requests, so keep the ideas coming. We love to hear your input and ideas.

Another way to be aware of updates and changes is to review the list of Tuesday's Tips linked below. Many new features and upgrades are first announced there.

There is a help article that lists the 25 or so most recent Tuesday's Tips. Feel free to have a look at this handy reference.

In case you hadn't heard yet, we made many upgrades to the Water Service Line asset in order to accommodate all the data fields contained in PA DEP's Service Line Inventory Excel Template. If you filled out the Excel template, we are ready to assist in adding the data from the template into CSDatum. We have a way to import data directly from the template, or we may be able to provide other database magic to help import your data. Reply to this email to let us know about your specific situation and the assistance you need.

Some clients track the the approval steps needed to issue a permit or approve a subdivision plan. We added an approval deadline to better track the due date for the approval. This can be especially useful for approvals that must be made within a defined time period, such as 30 days. By using both the Submitted and Due fields, you can adhere to the required time period.
