• Added new "Enforced Break Applies between members" checkbox. If ticked then the Enforced Break not only applies to each individual in the group (or household), but also BETWEEN each of the individuals in the group (or household)
• Fixed problem with reporting: if an Event in the main page was not ticked then it was ignored in reports no matter what event was ticked in report screen.
• Reports now remember the date range, if the dates are not the same as the roster period
