2) Contact Requirements – enhancements for size criteria
Previously, when entering a contact requirement, you were only able to enter the size requirements (for commercial, rural, business and land categories) in square metres (sqm), and the minimum and maximum sizes were restricted to the values in the dropdown.
Now, you have the ability to enter free-text (numeric) for the minimum and maximum size and the option to select whether the search size is sqm, acres or hectares.

This change applies to both HubOnline and Hub Mobile.

A number of enhancements have been made to Hub Mobile with this release, including:
- The system now remembers your username and password, so you don’t need to re-enter it each time you want to access Hub Mobile
- Secondary Done/Cancel buttons are now at the bottom of the Edit Contact and Edit Requirements pages, so you don’t need to scroll back to the top to save or cancel the edit.
