Tip: How to import Excel spreadsheets into iMIS Community
If you would like to bring in a spreadsheet as an editable table in iMIS Community, you can do so in a few steps:
- In Excel, select and copy the range of rows and columns you want to bring over.

Add item to checkout process

Webinar: Managing technical debt in Agile
This week I attended a webinar on "Managing Technical Debt with Agile" by Michael Hall, of Three Beacons. “Technical Debt” often comes from choosing a design approach for expedience that, over time, increases complexity and costs. The financial metaphor is that of credit: to get something now, pay for it later, but with interest — which can worsen to the point that all money (effort) is going into servicing that debt, which can never be paid off. Mike offered three areas of suggestions: how to prevent new debt from occurring, how to deal with new debt that happens, and how to bring down legacy debt:
iMIS Desktop Client
I currently have iMIS desktop clinet running on my laptop and up until recently have had no problems. Recently though i had a problem which came out nowhere in that the desktop seemed to be working but i now get a number of script errors asking me "Do i want to continue running scripts on this page" every time i change to a different module, which is quite annoying.

Opportunity for an iMIS expert to work in the UK with Fisher Technology

An opportunity has arisen for us to take on another person in our iMIS team.What we are after is someone who would like to work in the UK and has been using iMIS for some time or someone who supports iMIS and knows enough to provide a general iMIS support to other users.
If you are happy with IQA and SQL and have a good grasp of iMIS financials, accounting system integration etc..OR If you think you have the basics already and would like to learn more and help develop other iMIS users, We would like to hear from you. Now could be the right time to move to London and spend a couple of years working with iMIS users here in the UK.
