Hi Dennis, This is probably the best news I've read today. :) We are currently in the process of migrating our servers from AWS to Azure, and we hope to complete our migration next month so we can already upgrade to version 4. I have a few questions though for this upgrade:
1.) Will there be a data migration wizard from v3 to v4? We have around 8000 resources already on the map and we want to retain the data/reporting structure with version 4 before we can modify the data entry forms. 2.) As far as I remember, there will be a Resource Validation Workflow that is supposed to be integrated for v4, but I believe you may have deferred it for next release (or maybe this is the data collection project manager tool?). When will this be available? 3.) Will v4 come with an API that would help integrate with other systems? 4.) Do you have a more definite time frame for the release of the mobile app for Android and iOS?
