New Currencies Now Supported in the System

40 new currencies have been added to the list of standard system currencies.

New Dynamic List View Filtering

List views and search filters have been enhanced with the ability to dynamically filter lists based upon the current user. This allows the creation of a single list view that shows the current user all records they are associated to in a specific role.

b) the branch connected to the Level 1

Enhanced Search and Filter Functionality Added to Provider / Consumer List Views

77277 This feature enhances Consumer / Provider list views with the ability to search and filter results.

New Customizable Privacy and Confidentiality Policies and Persistent Hyperlinks

The policies will appear on the standard system login page as well as in the header section in user portals.



Beta Previews

New Annotate Specific Application and Form Fields with Comments

Revision Annotations allows you to mark up annotations at the field level and allow edits to be made to specific fields while keeping the rest of the record locked.

New Assignment Panels - Phase 1

77277

New Assignment Panels allows you navigate different list views simultaneously and easily search and bulk assign users to records.

This new feature introduces the easy invitation of a contact to collaborate on a system record through an email invitation. To facilitate this, invited contacts can accept or decline the invitation to associate them to the record. This new feature will send invitations to contacts who currently exist as a contact in the system and to contacts who do not exist. Contacts who are new will be directed to a contact sign-up page when applicable. This simplifies the process of inviting all contacts to participate in system activities.


Batch Create Records Based on Provider Details

This new feature enables the creation of consumer associated records in batch based on the contacts or companies associated to the provider record.

Enhanced Stripe e-Payment Integration

Updated the style of XML data custom fields with a new default style sheet. This enhancement eliminates the needs to hand code HTML styling when creating XML data fields.
