The Ready for Delivery (Completed) status has been renamed to Ready for Delivery.
A new Vimsoft status has been added: Future Development. This status will indicate to Customers that Vimsoft is planning to work on the request in the future, while the In Development status indicates the requests that are currently being worked on by Vimsoft.

CRs now have a list of users that are assigned to them. This list is used to filter the CR list in the Manage screen.
When a CR is submitted, the creator is automatically added to the Assigned Users list.
Only Managers can unassign or assign other users to a Customer Request. This is done in the View > Settings screen.

A “User” cannot create or edit Custom Lists.
A “User” cannot assign other users to a CR but can assign themselves.

Email titles now display CR # and Request Type.
