- Edit>Away has been improved as follows:

- The employee PIC Rank may now be used as a Sort By in the Location by Day screen and in the Where Working: Employee x * reports.

- The Service Points Over message from Delete or Shortening start/end now include details of the first service point and a tip re the [Future] button.
