JobPro now has a separate user interface file and data file. The user interface is what the user sees.

This means faster remote access for users on a WAN (wide area network) where they can have the UI file on their computer/device and only the Data file is being opened across the web.

For more details see our: Remote Access Options.

With the data in JobPro now separate from the user interface, JobPro is much more suited to hosting on the cloud using a hosting company.
