Preview of the Report View

The Report View will be in the same format as before, with the same terminology and arrangement. As with the other functions in our redesign we have revamped the colour scheme to provide a crisper, refined look. As before, the report can be exported to a digital PDF or a printable version. For continuity and familiarity, the way the report appears on the screen will be how it appears in the export. SBS Online Report View new This is how it looks currently: SBS Online Report View old

About this blog series

As mentioned in the previous blogs of this series, the redesign of our school budget management software SBS Online will greatly improve the user experience, make financial planning easier and save significant time when navigating across the menus. We have always concentrated on functionality and performance over cosmetics. However we feel that it is about time SBS Online had a bit of a facelift. In preparation for this we will post several blogs from now until the release to give you a taste of the differences and similarities between the current software and the new design before it goes live.

Our support before, during and after release

We are working hard to ensure that the redesign will greatly improve the user experience, make your budgeting easier and save you time when navigating across the software. It's also very important to us that the update causes minimal disruption to our users. We're excited for you to see the redesigned software in full and we're confident that this series of blogs will ensure that you are familiar with how it looks before it is even released! The vast majority of menu items and sub-menu page locations will remain untouched. They may just appear in a different layout. We love that SBS Online is simple to use and intuitive and this will remain central to the redesign brief. On the release day the SBS Online Service Desk team will be on hand as ever to help you with any queries.
