What’s Changing?Our third-party map provider has deprecated certain legacy features and is now focusing on a new platform to deliver enhanced map capabilities. As a result, the current map functionality in some versions of IFS Cloud will stop working after 30th June.The deprecated API for “Here Maps” has been identified as an issue for Dispatch Console customers.  This issue affects the framework rather than the application itself. Without the necessary changes, the Map capability will not be available on Dispatch Console. How Do I Know I am Impacted?Customers whose Framework Service Update are on these releases and later are not impacted:·         23R2 SU 18 (15th May 2025)

That user experience is important, I think everyone will agree on. But to achieve great user experience we need knowledge about our users. And the best way to obtain this knowledge is through meeting our users, doing interviews and observe them using our product. To make it easier for us to meet our users, we (the User experience product group at IFS R&D) have created a group for end users. It has end users, that have said okay to participate in studies connected to user experience. They decide the level of engagement. Do you work at a place where you think that there are people who would be willing to participate in this group?
