Enhancements & Updates:

Short Codes

Short codes have been built into Gold-Vision to achieve the following purposes:

Provide a unique reference number for each item in Gold-Vision. This can be used as an alternative to reference numbers if required, especially if Gold-Vision is integrated with a 3rd party system.
However, the main purpose will be delivered in a future development phase. It will be a more visible and user-friendly reference for launching a record page, rather than the current complex looking GUID.
