Pros The system reflects the way that the Council handles information governance. Easy to navigate and view the essential screens. Easy to assign tasks and manage contacts to the team. I like the message store so that all emails can be stored. Reports are accessible and can be produced and amended by the team without reverting to the third party. This allows for reports to be accessed for management and the Commissioner's required stats. The company are very supportive and approachable for any issues, new business, changes etc. The ability to publish the details of the request. Cons I would like to be able to export all the emails easily. This would assist when doing a review.It would be helpful to have the ability to view the request type on the dashboard and sort accordingly. In a colleague's absence, it would be useful for other team members to be able to view their workload without running a report.

Response from Vendor July 12, 2023 Thanks for your review. Sounds like we need to get round all clients before the end of the summer and discuss the new look and feel and how to introduce it into clients who have some staff who want the new look and some who have got used to the legacy screens. As a result of your comments, I will write up a detailed article on requesttracker.co.uk and circulate it to clients with information about how to introduce it, training requirements and a couple of data updates required.
