The highlight features of this release are

Bulk Message Centre

This has been developed to help with the response to the ongoing situation with Covid-19. It allows a message to be sent out to the list of people built on entry to the screen e.g. all active learners for the current year. Once the list has been created the message can be added and sent out. The normal messaging restrictions and functionality apply.
