8. Roadmaps

Sicon Roadmaps

The Sicon Product Roadmaps include product Improvements that we’re currently looking at developing and those that are under consideration for future releases.

Our Current Release Plan contains development that has been approved and is either currently underway or due to be added to the next release cycle.
The Future Release Considerations includes internal development plans and RFC’s to be considered for a future release cycle.

Please note, the Sicon Product Roadmaps content is not a committed plan and is subject to change.

How to navigate the Sicon Product Roadmaps

  1. Select the Product Type you are looking for from the left side menu; Sicon Financials, Sicon Commercials, Sicon Manufacturing, Sicon Approvals.
  2. Select the Product you would like to view.
  3. Select the relevant Product Improvement from the dropdown list.
  4. You can vote for your favourite ideas by simply clicking the thumbs up or thumbs down icons within each Product Improvement article, we will then use this to help determine development priorities.
  5. If an improvement is scheduled to go into a specific Sicon release version, a tag will appear at the bottom of the page, if you select this tag you will be able to view all planned development for that particular release.
  6. Alternatively, if you know what you’re looking for, you can search using the bar at the top of the page.

9. Release Notes

The release notes page shows which release of the system includes new features or issues resolved.

New features detailed in the Release Notes relating to Pre-Release versions will not be detailed in the current Help and User Guide until the end of development phase.

10. Known Issues

Sicon Product Known Issues

What is a Known Issue?
Known Issues are issues that have previously been reported and may require development to resolve, but have minimal impact on the software or user process. Generally they are either a cosmetic issue or have a suitable workaround available, which is detailed on each known issue entry. As such, they are not prioritised for a resolution and any linked Support Case will be given a link to this website and the case will be closed.

Sicon will review the current Known Issues and other development priorities ahead of each major release. This allows our finite development resource to be predominantly focused on high-impact issues and development. There is a voting button at the bottom of each Known Issue which can be used to indicate the priority of the issue to your site (1 = low priority, 5 = high priority).

This then updates the overall vote at the top of the page, which Sicon will then use to help determine priorities.

Once an issue is resolved in a major release, the website will be updated to reflect which version the update has been applied to; the Sicon Release Notes will also continue to document all fixes.
