Today’s guest writer is Wouter Steenbergen, one of the newest members of the Access Program Management team.

Several months ago we updated the contacts template. Because of the overwhelming positive feedback it generated we updated the Assets, Student and Task management Access templates.

Some of the modifications include:

  • Updated color schemes,
  • New getting started screen,
  • Video’s to demonstrate how to use the database and modify the database,
  • Improved some of the database functionality to make it easier to use and more consistent, and
  • Expanded the Students database to make it easier to track meta data about guardians relationships with a many-to-many junction table.
