After our major release of the Visual Jobs Scheduler (VJS), our project plan and resource Gantt chart for Business Central, in June, we have used the summer break to respond to an urgent customer's demand and at the same time took the opportunity to add some other nice new features to the VJS. In spite of this being a minor release, indicated by the number 1.11.1.0, you will see that the features are in no way minor but will bring great effect to your planning.

That's it for today, I hope you'll enjoy the new functions and enhancements. As always, the complete release information can be found in the VJS release notes.
