We have covered in length why will be only using a browser version as the core and only version for all devices.

**Latest browsers:**

As of the above statement we will only be supporting the latest version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Note even though Chrome does exist for iOS it is only a shell for Safari and not actually the Chrome rendering engine found on other devices and computers.

We are currently working on security features to allow you to designate _Staff_ to have their own _logins_ and control which sections they may access in OBB. This is currently in beta and more info will be provided at launch.

We hope you are holding up during these trying times and that we may all may return to normalcy as soon as possible.
