FEATURES & ENHANCEMENTS

Make the ‘Welcome’ Widget appear on all Users Home Dashboards

Include URL parameters in the page alias to allow deep linking

We have enhanced our filters on portal pages with the ability to save any particular configuration of report filters. When the user lands on the page, the results of any reporting widgets that are on the page will be filters according to the criteria you have set up. This will work for any value in the “filter” widget.

For Example, if we wanted to create a page that showed information about a particular brand category  “Ultran 20” we would:

1. Select the Brand Category
Please note, any of the values can be used here and often you are able to filter for one or more values.


2. Apply the Filter
Click the “Apply Filters” button to filter the information and note that the “parameters” are added to the URL.

4. Click the Edit Page Button
This will take you to the “Edit Page Details” page.

When you paste the filter parameters make sure you have not included the “?”.

6. Save your changes
Press “Save” and the “View Page” to return to the page.

Task Explorer: Make Client Group and Brand filters multi-select

We have modified the ‘Brand’ and ‘Brand Category’ filters in the Task Explorer and Project Task List to be multi-select.  This means you can select one or more values to filter simultaneously.

Task Explorer: Enable deep linking for Client Group/Brand Filters in Task Explorer & Project List

We have added the filters of ‘Brand’ and ‘Brand Category’ to the URL parameters in the Task Explorer. This means that when you filter by Brand or Brand Category the URL of the Task Explorer is updated to include these parameters. Then you can copy the URL string to create a “deep link” that you can send to a colleague or save as a bookmark to access again.

Update the rules governing who can delete files

We have updated the permission rules that determine who can delete files on a project:

To see ‘Delete File’ in the file actions menu, you need to have Delete Files enabled for your office for your “User Category”.

This permission applies to your Primary Office and your secondary office

Network Superusers can delete everything in their network according to each of the office settings. Superusers can delete any files in any office regardless of the office settings.

We have moved the location of the ‘Finance Tab’ and ‘View Invoice’ buttons to the header in the Asset Detail screen when the document is a Finance Document.

Create new “Reporting Date” V1 Form Field

Add a new type of field into the V1 forms which would be a date picker for the purpose of capturing a date field, in this case, the ‘Reporting Date’.

The goal is to allow users to control what ‘Date Period’ the data supplied by their form relates to when using the Portal Page filters.

Introducing Wild card search for Users in the Address Book
