Version 2.1 of Navigator will have a new interface!

‍

Widescreen layout

The current Navigator screen is tuned to fit on old style square monitors. Feedback tells us that almost every Navigator user is now on a wide-screen monitor, so the dimensions of the Navigator screen have been adjusted to reflect this and use the extra width (and less depth) that this gives:

The Sidebar

The key change to the interface is the new side-bar on the left hand side. This will allow access to all open screens in Navigator in a single click - by seeing the list in the "Open Forms" section. There is also a new "Most Visited" section which will contain the 5 most used menu items in Navigator. All menu items are now available fro any screen which makes switching to new functions much easier.

Themes

Navigator will now support different themes to enable dealers to support differing colour schemes per branch, or support brand colours for example. The screen image above is a "sea-shell" fun theme (which probably won't be available in the final release!)

Updates to support "Touch" 

Touch screen Windows laptops are now very cost effective, with Windows 10 in particular providing a touch driven interface. Navigator will in version 2.1 support touch better, including some screens which are designed to be used only in touch mode. This includes a new Digital Service Reception screen which is designed to allow Service Receptionists to be free of their desks and check customers in on a tablet producing a "Digital" job card including on-screen signature capture!

We are very excited about the new changes - which are built on the technology integrated into Navigator with V2.0.
