• Speed improvements for the lists of item types, sizes and sequences when creating or editing item records

We have resolved a defect in the way we handle item types, sizes and sequences, where these items are now cached in Soprano for a period of 10 minutes. This improves the performance of processes and pages using this data, and reduces the load on your LMS at the same time.

If you do make changes to the Item Types, Sizes or Sequences, these will automatically update in Soprano’s cache within 10 minutes.
