Highlights:

  • Having trouble finding passwords for a client? Fret no more, as we have added Password Tagging and Colors to easily distinguish and organize passwords.
  • Before we move on from password improvements, did we mention passwords are now easier than ever to utilize? Our new layout makes it easy to grab usernames, passwords, OTP codes, and see security info, without having to click around pages!
  • Sometimes you need to move KB folders to reorganize your article and guides. In the latest release, this is one “Edit Folder” button click away.
  • Two new integrations: HaloPSA and Mapbox. With HaloPSA, you can sync companies, contracts, sites, and users. With Mapbox, a new interactive map will be displayed on each client automatically. Did we mention you can use custom map styles in Mapbox to brand your maps in cool and unique ways? Check out the Mapbox Gallery for inspiration: https://www.mapbox.com/gallery/
  • Previously, we’ve allowed you to customize your Hudu in almost every way, but one: customizing the Dashboard. Hudu 2.1.5.7 includes the option to customize your Main Dashboard to fit the way you personally want to see it!
  • Our search bar isn’t a button anymore, and just lets you search when you want to search. Need we say more? 😂
