We’ve just updated the main system admin page to make it a bit clearer and easier to find what you need. System administrators will see we’ve moved the things you use most on a day-today bases to the top, re-arranged the rest, and added some nice shiny icons! We have also been making regular updates …
We’ve had a few customers asking us for reassurance about Lamplight in the event of whatever flavour of Brexit we end up with. Your data is held in London, UK – we use the Amazon Web Services London region. So we do not believe that there will be any impact to your use of Lamplight …
Over the last few days we have updated the case tab in profiles. We know this hasn’t been entirely smooth for everyone, and we’re sorry if you’ve experienced any disruption. A further update this morning has resolved most of the outstanding glitches, and we’ll be continuing to monitor and update over the next days. The …
