Management > Department Configuration
We've reduced map clutter by adding the Don’t show by default hydrants and properties parameter in Pre-Plan/Property > Default Map View that hides hydrants and properties by default.
Follow-Up Bill > Block Payment Portal
We added the Block Payment Portal button, allowing authorized users to restrict access to the payment portal when a bill is approved but unpaid. This enhances control over pending transactions and prevents unauthorized payments.
