Seems like the "new" eServices is basically reorganization of the main page.
Which is fine since most of the functionality should be familiar.

I checked the new version of eServices; my first response was "Meh. It looks okay." The squadron statistics feature is interesting, to say the least. I think I'll try it for a few days and see how I like all of it.


Update: I tried looking at some stuff, like my training qualifications, and I got taken to a page with the old eServices look. Guess they haven't quite updated everything.

I've been running into some broken links. It looks sort of pretty to me.

Please report any broken links to the help desk, or even here and I'll pass it along.

A feature you all may not have discovered about the Statistics widget is if you click on the icon at the top right of it, you can expand the timeframe and even look at different units.

The facelift so far has only extended to the main page.  If I recall from when I was first introduced to this, the plan is to migrate each application in time.

For the statistics page, are they planning to put the members names and e-mail addresses on like the old version?

Last I heard, there are plans for another widget to have the current stats (instead of the latest being the end of the previous month), likely with links to the email gathering page.

I was "selected to test the new eservices", feel like I hit the lottery!!!  But, not a bad start as I find my way around the new eservices.

I think that screen is from when they were actually selecting people. Now everyone sees it. ;)
I'm not thrilled with it, have to re-arrange stuff. I actually don't like all the stuff hidden. Some things are not where you'd think to look at first.

If you could send me a list (email or PM is fine) of what is not intuitive with the locations of certain items I'll be glad to send it forward.

If you don't have access to the restricted OpsQuals, you can click on the trophy icon near your name at the top of the page and then click on "Qualifications".

You do not have the trophy icon, or the qualifications link?  If you don't have the qualification link, what shows when you click the icon?

Would you be able to send me an image of what you see on your screen for eServices?

This is basically national's way of teaching cadets that things can always get worse.
