Over the last few months we've been working hard to improve upon some of the most popular features of iDashboard. As a direct response to some of your requests we have focussed our efforts in this area in order to make iDashboard an even better tool to use.
In our upcoming release we've redesigned our Campaigns area from the ground up. We feel that what we've done will make it much easier to create and manage outgoing emails, and we've given you the power to control things which were originally fixed within the system.
Our new Campaigns area is broken up into 4 distinct areas which are used depending what types of emails you'd like to send out.

First-timers wanting the most from the grant are flocking to the new-home heaven at Kellyville.
Aprocession of cars moves slowly up Blue Bell Circuit at 10.40am on a sunny Saturday. Some drivers pull up at the kerb, others continue leisurely along Halcyon Avenue, gazing at the parade of imposing houses with equally grand names: Sovereign, Newport, The Windsor, Omega Elan, The Celeste and, inevitably, The Castle.

THE threat of pay cuts and unemployment are driving a growing number of young Australians out of rental properties and back to living with their parents or into shared accommodation.
The trend is adding to the downward pressure on rents sparked by the rising number of young people leaving rental properties to take advantage of the Rudd Government’s boost to the first-home buyers scheme and lower interest rates.

House prices are falling at their fastest pace in at least a quarter of a century and there are just half the number of job advertisements as a year ago. But a Reserve Bank board meeting in Sydney today is expected to conclude that another interest rate cut is not needed.
A survey of detached house prices by the Bureau of Statistics released yesterday found prices fell 6.7 per cent across Australia’s eight capital cities over the year ended March – the biggest fall in the survey’s 23-year history.
