### Notification system
The [Notification system](home-notify-subscriptions.md) has been completely overhauled and upgraded to be easier to configure and use with many new notification event types added for over 30 notification types available with many new filters available for even finer control of notification events.
### Dashboard
The User's home [Dashboard](home-dashboard.md) has been _completely_ overhauled and improved over v7 and is now customizable with many dashboard widgets including graphs, schedules and lists.
### Schedule markers
In AyaNova 7 there were two types of schedule markers: regular and "follow up". The follow up type was tied to a particular object and provided a button to open that object. The regular type did not have a link to an object. Both had a "Completed" check box.
