System Update - March 2022 - Discover the latest updates to My Gadget Repairs

As always, our team’s core focus is to deliver a seamless experience for our users. We have been busy working on product improvements over the past month and wanted to share a few highlights.

Dashboard:

• Search in All Things
  • We have expanded the "Search in all things" to make it faster for you as on many occasions you may not need to search in all those sections. From now when you click on the "Magnifier" icon you will be asked where to search that phrase from. This way if you are only looking to search in the customer's table then you can just select "Customers" and it will not look in all the other tables if it doesn't need to, that will speed up the whole searching process.
  • Please note that your selection will be stored automatically every time you perform a search and if you press "Enter" the popup will not show and it will perform the search based on your last stored sections however if you click on the "Magnifier" icon then the popup will appear where you can change your stored setting. Please note that at one time you can only select 6 sections. Currently, we have divided it into the following sections.
