Posted on by

Lucid Data announces the release of PDExpress 2016. The release contains many new features and performance enhancements including the ability to design and publish reports making them available to administrative users and teachers via the PDExpress web interface. Additionally, buttons linking to important or often used user-defined forms can be added to the home page making them easily accessible to all staff members. For administrators, Lucid added the ability to display user-defined fields in the “manage” views. This is particularly useful to administrative users who need to quickly view information stored in user-defined fields, and each administrative user is able to define the user-defined fields they wish to display. The custom forms feature has been enhanced allowing the addition of links to documents within a form.  All PDExpress customers are now able to download PDExpress 2016 from Lucid’s customer support center and upgrade (at no cost) when time permits.
