Currently we have upgraded your sorting options and filtering options. The next step in the plan is to improve on export/email functions, and also to move to a template-based platform for greater flexibility. Watch this space!

Some data is so intertwined with other data that deleting it would cause what we call “orphaned data”, ie. data which, by itself, has no connections to other data and therefore rendered meaningless.

Other than the checks implemented to ensure that removal of data does not result in “orphaned data”, MYOS also has the System Audit feature to track data which has been deleted. Note that this is NOT a “Recycle Bin” feature. Data that has been deleted, remains deleted. But you can see what was deleted and you can see why you deleted it.

Note: By default, only Admins have access to System Audit, though they may override this setting to let others view the contents as well.

At the same time, they would like to be able to view reports of all the centers as a whole.

To that end, our Programming Team came up with Multi-center Views. This is a separate login id given to a user to view the consolidated reports and listings of all two or more different Schools.

Initially, we set up each Center as a separate School, with separate data. Thus users for those Centers will only be able to view data within that same Center. However, anyone logging in using a Multi-center ID would be able to see the consolidated data from all the different Centers.

Here is a current breakdown of what Security Levels there are in MYOS:

Level 1: School Administrator

• View, add, edit and delete in all areas and listings
• Edit Access Levels
• View and edit other Users that are not at Level 1.

Level 2-10: User

• View, add, edit and delete in some areas (as allowed by Level 1 user)
• Edit own password and details

While we do not forsee any school needing more than 5 different Access Levels, 10 appears to be a good number and allows room for future expansion.

Access Levels determine what areas of MYOS a user has access to, and the amount of leeway he has within that area. For example, a Level 2 user may be able to view Students, and even add or edit them, but may not have any sort of access to Reports. A Level 10 user may be able to access Invoices and Receipts but no other part of the system.

This allows the school’s administrator to determine who gets to go where. This increases security and decreases the chance of human error dramatically.

By implementing Access Levels customization, we hope to make the security of MYOS flexible without compromising its strength; in fact even effectively increasing it.

Users may now define and label extra data on data pages and listings. This adds to the ever-growing flexibility of MYOS to serve your needs and cater to a wider range of implementation styles of different schools, without adding extra mandatory functionality that you may not need. Custom Fields are totally optional, yet an integral part of any system that aims to provide its users with the power to define data.

In the near future, we will be examining even more functionality for Custom Fields in detail, to serve you even better.

All this, and more, in the release notes of MYOS version 4.0!
