We start 2025 with a completely revamped Adonis Personnel Manager. The application has been adapted to the Windows 11 user interface, which is evident in the new icon designs and the Windows 11-style window layout.
You can find a complete description of the user interface modifications here.
In addition to the look and feel of Windows 11 and the application's rebranding, new functionalities include selecting clients using customisable tiles, displaying vessels, and showcasing the current captain or staff. Within the activity data group, you can find the option to display activities on a timescale. We have added additional skins with various colour schemes, such as black and dark mode.
We continue to expand the contracts data group and integrate it with the payroll calculation. Additionally, we have added more minor functionality in various modules. Please see the resolved issues below.
Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions, comments or improvements.

The Open Client functionality has been enhanced with view styles as well as customizable tile designs, allowing users to personalize their interface for a more tailored experience.

The Open Client view styles have been enhanced with the following options:

To access the functionality and select the preferred Open Client view style, navigate to User Menu > User Options > General > User Interface:

Tiles Customization
In the Open Client module, added the possibility to design vessel and department tiles.
To set up the functionality, follow the steps below:
Go to Organization Structure and select the vessel for which you want to design a tile.
Navigate to Properties > Identification.
In the Head Position field, select the position available for the current department/vessel.
Ensure that the crew member assigned to the selected position has an active sea service activity where the Date From is less than or equal to today’s date.
4. Click Save to proceed.
As a result, the selected tile fetches the selected crew member’s photo (in accordance with the selected position) and shows a sliding frame.

The Contracts datagroup enables prioritization of subcontract calculations over other contracts.
