Variance for Finance Documents under Workflow

There are 4 key differences to the Asset Detail screen when the Asset is a Finance Document:

Reassign Approver Business Rules and Validation for the Document Approval Screen & Finance Document Approval Screen

The ‘Reassign’ button on approval workflow documents is now a configurable option that can be enabled or disabled in the Office Settings.

If the setting is disabled, users can not reassign Document or Finance Document Approvals.

If the setting is enabled, then users can reassign approver but under the following rules:

  • The logged-in user needs to be a Project Manager or Operations user
  • The logged-in user can’t reassign a Finance Documents to themselves (Estimates, PO, Invoices) unless the user is part of the FM group for that office.
  • The logged-in user CAN reassign a normal Document approval to themselves

If the logged-in user is not in the FM group, then in the notification modal their name is disabled with a tooltip “You cannot assign yourself as the approver unless you are part of the Finance Manager group. Please select an alternative user”

  4. Add new card options for horizontal and vertical designs

Limit amount of amendments per submission in Bulk Amends to 200

Design Bug: Project Wizard > Review Step: Design Styling Issues

Design fixes for the Project Wizard > Review Step

  1. ‘Template’ and ‘Users’ labels in the Wizard have been horizontally centre aligned.
  2. Fixed padding around ‘Project Summary’ and ‘Notification & Default Folders’.
  3. Changed the case of labels ‘Send notification and email to invited users’ and ‘Default folders will be created for this project’ to sentence case.
  4. Changed ‘PIA Number’ and ‘Selected’ labels to uppercase.
  5. Removed Well around Folder Tree and left-aligned the folder tree with the other items.
  6. Set the default state for notifications to be ‘disabled’.

FIXES

Interval date data is rendered based on users computer timezone

Fix – When pivoting a widget chart over time using the interval function the data will render with a different number of results depending on the users timezone. If the timezone is +GMT it will render correctly however if it was -GMT it will render the data in the previous month.

The data now renders correctly regardless of the users computer timezone.

Brand Planner usability fixes

Some minor improvements for the Pulse Planner feature:

  1. The user can now scroll back and forward 2 years from the initial date loaded
  2. A change in office in the Project Plan dynamically updates the custom field settings relevant for that office
  3. Project Type is always hidden for Havas Health.
  4. When converting a ‘planned’ project to a ‘real’ project the dates do not change.
  5. There is only a single scrollbar for the entire page.
  6. Current Day is highlighted  in the plan
  7. There is no scrollbar on the tooltips.

Logo resolution issue and remaining UI fixes

UI fixes for the new Estimate PDF design:

  1. Logo in the final PDF should have max-width: 300px and max-height: 130px, Resolution= 300ppi
  2. Logo with a smaller resolution should stay small, and not resize to become blurry.
  3. Reference field should use the full width of the second line

Default Billing Header language field is not applied on Finance Documents

Fix – Billing Headers in the Office Settings contain a field that specifies the default language that should be applied. Since the release of the new Estimate design, the language was no longer applied and instead, English UK was being always set as a default language, regardless of what the user language is set to. That meant that the PDF was always in English if the user didn’t change the language manually in the Estimate.

This has been corrected and the default language is now applied.

Translations on Finance Documents are taken from the wrong language

Fix – Some translations on the Finance Document PDF were being taken from the User’s own selected Language in their user Profile instead of the language selected in the “Translation” field in the Finance Document Builder.

Screenshot of the Estimate Builder highlighting the ‘Translation’ field

 The fields that were being incorrectly translated are:

  1. VAT number
  2. Customer contact
  3. Project manager
  4. Sub Total
  5. Comments

This has been corrected and all translations are now taken from the Finance Document’s settings.

Clicking on title in key document widget goes to wrong page

Fix – When the user clicks on the title of a document in the key document widget on the project dashboard, the user is redirected to the files tab in the root folder instead of the folder and file where it exists.

The user is now redirected to the folder containing the asset, and the particular asset is highlighted.

Brand Planner allow edit job dates setting resets

Fix – The configuration in the Pulse Planner where we allow users to edit job dates is reset to ‘no’ if it was ‘yes’ when the plan is saved. This option is now saved correctly.

Bug: Kpi Report widget shows data for Bar chart widget

Fix – When the user specifies form data as stats as values for the KPI widget the request returns values that are meant for display in the chart widget.

Bug: The thumbnail of the file attached on the new asset detail screen does not appear.

Fix – The thumbnail of comment attachments in the Asset Detail screen were appearing as a white block. They now show the thumbnail of the asset.

Bug: Sticky Note comments link does not work

Fix – Clicking the sticky note link in the Comments section will now open the sticky notes module.
