Announcing G3MS 2.1
G3MS Screen Snap
G3MS, Carbon Planet’s Greenhouse Emissions Measure, Manage, Minimise Suite, is the foremost collaborative carbon management suite featuring simple, yet standards compliant workflows for co-ordinating your carbon reporting requirements. G3MS 2.1 is an evolution to the system and builds on features introduced in 2.0. Mostly this release includes optimisations and improvements under the hood, but there are a few changes to the user interface, based on customer feedback, that will make people’s use of G3MS simpler and faster.
NOTE: Carbon Planet’s techs will be upgrading G3MS over the weekend, between 6pm Friday 14th August and 11pm Sunday 16th August 2009, Adelaide, Australia time. G3MS will be unavailable during the upgrade process.
New in G3MS 2.1:
- Simplified Assessment Workflow – more flexible, less restrictive. The previous workflow system was found to be too rigid and involved too many steps. The new process is simpler and more organic, allowing assessment scope and progress to happen more in keeping with the way people actually work.
- Simplified Roles & Permissions – more intuitive. Many customers found the old Roles and Permissions system a little unwieldy. As part of simplifying the assessment workflow we have remodelled the permissions system to be based around access to information, rather than to actions. This makes for a more consistent user experience.
- Clients Management – improved access to your list of clients. Finally, a ‘Clients’ button on every page that takes you to a list of your organisation’s clients, or, depending on your role, supervisory access to your clients’ clients.
- Assessment Scope – easier to add and remove activities. Another much-requested improvement, now you can add and remove activities easily via the Activities screen.
- Activity Labels – improved customisation and flexibility, without more complexity. How often have you thought, “if only people would label things?” Customise your own labels making them more relevant to your projects and helping you distinguish many instances of the same activity. For example you may have several boilers, the activity relating to each of them is the same but it’s useful to be able to tag them “Boiler 1”, “Boiler 2”, and so on.
- Assessment History – improved accountability. You need your carbon accounts to be bullet-proof. G3MS now lets authorised users trace who’s been doing what per assessment.
G3MS, one of the first comprehensive Greenhouse Gas Emissions software packages of its kind, accurately collects, analyses and reports the greenhouse gas emissions of any business, great or small, single site or multi-facility. With its enhanced ease of use, simple, yet powerful assessment workflows, custom activity labels and complete audit history, the 2.1 release of G3MS takes collaborative carbon emissions management software to the next level.
