IDEA On The Horizon – May 2024

May 2024 IDEA Data Solutions developments

Welcome to the brand-new ‘IDEA On The Horizon’, where we’ll take a look at what is on the development roadmap for the IDEA Universe over the coming month, and what to look forward to in the latest release.

As we build to a more agile way of working, you’ll notice our software being updated more frequently than ever before. Across IDEA YACHT, IDEA FLEET and IDEA SBA, we’ll be working to ensure that your user experience is to the highest standard and that bugs and fixes are addressed promptly.

Here’s what is on the horizon at IDEA Data Solutions for May 2024.

  • Vessel database UI overhaul. (below)
    • We’re making huge changes to the look and feel of our vessel database, incorporating clearer colourways, new visual hierarchies, and simpler navigation tabs.

  • IDEA Snag List now has a layout view in the web version. (below)
    • With the GA layout on the right, lists/table on the left, this great new advancement will allow you to quickly see the points in a workflow on your different layouts.
