Care Identity Management release 8.6

Care Identity Management release 8.6 goes live on 8 January 2026, subject to final approval. 

This release includes the following improvements and fixes to reports:

• active user and user summary dashboard now only shows the expiry dates and serial numbers (and status on summary report) for active, non-cancelled smartcards
• if a user has multiple cards these will appear as a comma separated list within the same row
• the user summary dashboard now includes smartcard type information and the ability to filter that data
• inactive users will no longer appear in the active user report
• various improvements have been made to the layout and display of the positions report
• the users summary dashboard will now display the correct data when filtered to show smartcards expiring within 90 days

We expect there to be no downtime during the release.
