### Service bank
|
||||
|
||||
The service bank feature has not been ported to AyaNova 8 as it does not appear to be widely used and would need extensive re-working. We could be wrong about this so if the Service Bank feature is important to you please let us know and how you would like to see it implemented as a feature. If there is demand for it we can work it back into AyaNova 8 as a feature based on your feedback.
