Release Date: September 12, 2025

This release delivers infrastructure improvements, program-level enhancements, and fixes for multiple state reports and workflows.

✨ Feature Highlight: View Manager

Take control of your data with the View Manager in LACES. Customize your grid by adding, removing, or reordering columns so you see exactly the details that matter most, all in one place.

You can:

Create and save your own custom views for quick access.
Copy shared views and adjust them to fit your workflow.
Mark favorites so your go-to views appear at the top of the list.
Set any custom view as your default so it’s ready every time you log in.

⚠️ Tip: More columns mean more data to load. If your view includes fields that require calculations, it may slow performance. Keep your views focused to stay fast and efficient.
