All reporting in AyaNova is now open standards HTML based and uses Javascript as the report language and widely used and popular HTML / Mustache templating system.

## Features dropped from v7 to v8
## Features not carried over from v7 to v8
### 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.
## Where to go next
We recommend taking the [Evaluation to production guided tour](tour-bootstrap-intro.md) next which will step you through getting to know AyaNova 8 in the shortest time possible.
