Once again, we have been busy at Kerkton Security Technologies working on new features and updates to improve Orna.


We are excited to announce the release of the Panic Button, which is our biggest new feature since the April update. Mobile module now has a "Panic" button at the top left that automatically creates a call with a "Panic" NOC when pressed. All available dispatchers in the Dispatch module will be alerted. The Panic Button will blink for the officer until the officer is cleared. From Dispatch module, dispatchers can press the Panic Button to view current panic calls. If there is only one panic call, the dispatcher will be automatically forwarded to the panic call. The Panic Button blinks in Dispatch module until the call is closed to help ensure safety of officers.


There are some additional updates. Orna now has a Call for Service Audit Log, the ability to update Call Comments, a Command Line in Dispatch to quickly add a secondary location, full screen windows for assigned and unassigned calls in Dispatch In Progress Screen, Tours updates (tours management headers more intuitive, multiple tour stops can be added/removed from tour, multiple tasks can be added/removed from tour stops), version update notifications for if you are using Orna during an update (no downtime as before, but now you get a notification at the end of the update), and various bug fixes.

Our team has been working hard to integrate with stripe for billing and the management of payment information for Orna subscriptions. This will allow for our staff to focus more on application development and less time on the management of client accounts, ultimately benefiting everyone. Some the benefits for our clients will include more frequent communication on expired cards and upcoming subscription renewals. However, one of the bigger benefits will be grace periods which you can review further on payment management . Customers will be migrated over in stages throughout June and July.
