Hot tips for app users 🔥
In the KTS app, users with Editor or Submitter roles can now filter their view by selecting the 'Show only the statements I can action' button on the page under the Transition statement tab. This allows editors or submitters to see only the statements they are responsible for. Visit our FAQs webpage for more advice on using the app.
Users with the Director or Delegate role can view all statements.
