What's new
Every release of Corva Desk, newest first. Corva Desk is in early access, so version numbers start with 0 until general release.
0.10.1 Tickets on a phone
Fixed
- On a phone, a ticket's buttons no longer cover its number and title. The title uses the full width and the buttons sit in a row below it.
0.10.0 Arrange your dashboard your way
Added
- Dashboard tiles can be one to six columns wide.
- Place tiles anywhere on a wide screen. They stay where you put them, gaps included. Only the tiles in the way move, and they move down.
- While you drag a tile, a dashed outline shows where it will land, and the other tiles slide out of the way.
- Text cut short in a dashboard list shows in full when you point at it.
- Corva Desk now has a version number and this public history of changes.
Changed
- The dashboard buttons save in the background, so the page no longer reloads or jumps to the top.
- Resolved tickets and Paid now follow the period you pick on the dashboard.
- Tickets now record when they were closed, so "resolved this week" counts the tickets actually closed this week.
- An invoice counts as paid on the date of its last payment, not the day the payment was entered.
0.9.0 A personal dashboard, and a faithful Odoo mirror
Added
- A personal dashboard of tiles, in place of the separate Home and Status pages. Choose your tiles, their order and the period. Nobody else sees your arrangement.
- While you are still moving from Odoo, Corva Desk keeps an exact copy of your Odoo tickets, contacts and invoices. You can apply changes at once or review them first.
- A final sync and switch-off for when you are ready to make Corva Desk your main system.
- A countdown while a sync runs, based on how long recent syncs took.
Changed
- Messages synced from Odoo keep their author, their line breaks and their links, and name the person who wrote them.
- "Engineer notes" are now "Internal notes".
Fixed
- A ticket now says "Customer replied" only when the customer replied last.
0.8.0 Sign in from anywhere
Added
- Sign-in is open from anywhere. Every sign-in attempt is recorded, and the service can block addresses that misuse it.
- Support for a USB NFC card reader, for looking up a customer from their card.
0.7.0 One kind of contact
Added
- Contacts are now one list of businesses and individuals, each with related contacts, several addresses and tags.
- Each business chooses its own time zone. Dates, times and periods follow it.
- Each business chooses how dates are written.
0.6.0 Email in, email out, and finer control
Added
- Your own inbound mailboxes: email to them becomes a ticket, and replies join their ticket.
- Ticket email updates for your team and for the people on a ticket, with personal settings.
- Number series for invoices, quotes and credit notes, with your own prefixes.
- Fine-grained permissions for roles, down to individual actions.
- A shared calendar module with named calendars, sharing and repeating entries.
- Editable print templates for tickets and invoices.

- Your logo on your workspace and documents.
- File attachments on tickets.
- In-app notifications.
- Back up your own data, and restore it, from Settings.
