Here at SKYSITE, we’re always listening, taking that feedback and working on improving our platform. To that end, we released our latest upgrade on Sept. 23.
Immediately after our summer release launched, we were busy making lots of enhancements to SKYSITE. Based on your feedback, we’ve been programming and working on implementing these enhancements since our last upgrade in July.
For our Projects module, we’ve added features that get you to your destination file faster starting from when you login, to hyperlinks in your punch reports. You can also now view all those Microsoft files you’ve stored as well as image files like JPEG and PNG.
If you’re a Facilities user, you’ll also be able to view Microsoft and image files. But we’ve also added measurement tools, settings that gives you choices in folder viewing and new features for quick navigation (hint: “favorites” and “recently viewed” options).
We hope you enjoy the features; check out our video for an overview. Also, a full list of all the upgrades is available below. And, if you have any questions, please contact our Customer Success Team:

Time to get to work on to the next round of upgrades!
