Note: As we continue the migration of screens to the new web app styling, we will move the older version of each screen to legacy mode. The older versions will remain available for the immediate future, but you are encouraged to use the new screens wherever possible. Also, we welcome your feedback on the new screens. Your input helps us to ensure that the new screens meet your needs before the legacy screens are switched-off at a later date. The new versions of those screens include:
- Locations
- Location groups
- Removals
- Sites
- Returns
Thank you to everyone that has provided feedback on these screens so far. Please rest assured that we are reviewing all feedback, and have several enhancements planned to implement many of those changes that you have proposed.
Note: The legacy web app returns workflow will be moving to end of life in the near future. Please use the new returns workflow to process your returns. If you currently use the legacy workflow, you will see an in-app announcement in the coming days. For guidance on the new workflow, please check our help documentation here. If you have any concerns that the new workflow is missing any key functionality that your business needs, please reach out via the support desk so that we can work with you to identify and resolve those gaps.
New Features and Enhancements

🟪 The put away rules editor on the web app is now improved. The list of rules is now automatically sorted by rule order.
