Version 1.8.1 of Local Tools, our lending library management system has been released. The biggest addition to this release is the ability to define and edit your own tool categories. In Local Tools, items are managed in a hierarchy (e.g. Hand Tools vs. Power Tools), and in a previous release we allowed them to be categorized by “use” (e.g. Carpentry, Skiing for sporting good libraries, etc.). The tool categories are now fully editable by organizations.
We’ve also added additional email receipts, including for account creation, adding/changing a membership, etc. While there were only 15 or so new features, bug fixes and improvements, many of them are fairly significant (including a fix to stats and graphs). For more information, or to sign up for a beta test, please contact us.
