Platform - August 2022

 

 

This release includes the highly-anticipated, User-friendly option to log in via a code! It also includes navigation enhancements, including the all-new, super-magical, must-be-seen-to-be-believed Column Auto Resize action button. It also includes other enhancements, updates, and fixes. #awesomeaugust, indeed!

Authentication

  • *NEW* Users will be able to sign in using a code (delivered via text or email) rather than using their User Name and password. We've included both text and email authorization code templates, so it's ready to turn on the day you get it! How's that for an easy button? Note: Here's everything you need to know to get authentication via code up and running.
  • Updated the error message Users receive if they attempt to sign in using the text code after the ten-minute authentication window has expired.
  • Updated social logins to allow Users to sign in using Office365 authentication.
  • Removed the option to authenticate via text if there is no SMS Server Username on the Domain record.
  • Enhanced the flow for creating an account or resetting a password via email and text message.
  • Enhanced OAuth by increasing the server cookie expiration to 90 days. In plain English? Users will only need to reauthenticate once every three months instead of every thirty days if configured.
  • Fixed an issue where Users were not able to authenticate via email when they do not have a mobile phone number on their Contact record.
  • Fixed an issue where Multi-Factor Authentication expired daily for some Users, despite "MFA Remember Days" being set for a longer time frame.

Charts

  • Added an Active field to the Charts page so you can enable (or disable) charts to keep your pages relevant.
  • Enhanced Charts to display the Chart's full name in the expanded dialog.
  • Fixed an issue where layered line graph charts were not integrated correctly.

Navigation

  • *NEW* Users can resize columns via the Column Auto Resize action button. Note: The max field width considered is 400 characters.

 

  • Add the Tools menu to the List Layout on mobile.
  • Enhanced navigation so that clicking on a Page in the menu closes the open record and takes the User to that page.
  • Enhanced navigation so that Record Insights are closed when a record is opened on a small screen (including mobile).
  • Enhanced navigation so Users can exit the overflow dialog with the tap of the Esc key.
  • Enhanced the Global Filter so "All Permitted Congregations" can be edited to display context-appropriate language.
  • Removed the Tools menu from subpages, as Tools may only be launched from main pages.
  • Fixed an issue where Calendar Layout displayed the next day when the current day was selected.
  • Fixed an issue where Country names containing "e´" did not display correctly.
  • Fixed an issue where the default view for the Participant subpage on the Groups page was not honored.
  • Fixed an issue where the page's default view was not honored after navigating from the page to Home and then back to the page.
  • Fixed an issue subpages did not honor calendar color-coding.
  • Fixed an issue where zero-minute events did not appear in Calendar Layout.

Records

  • Added Compliance and Qualifications pages to the Security Role grid.
  • Enhanced the description field so that the pop-out button only appears if there is additional text to display.
  • Enhanced Selections so that Current/Unsaved Selections appear on the Selections tab of the Home page.
  • Renamed the Participation Requirements page to Requirements for clarity and consistency. 
  • Fixed an issue where selecting to copy Attached Files and then selecting Sub Page Data to copy unchecked the Attached Files box.
  • Fixed an issue where updating a series on the Events tab of the Congregations page returned an error.

Schema

  • Added Application Labels to various Widgets and Tools to support a multi-lingual approach.
  • Added an "English" field to the Application Label page default view so you can easily search for the label you'd like to modify.
  • Added Publication ID as a default field to the Subscribers subpage on the Publications page to facilitate the One-Click Unsubscribe Widget.
  • Updated the API Wrapper.
  • Removed the Requirements tab from the Group Role Types page.
  • Fixed an issue where Users received intermittent server errors.

Searching

  • *NEW* Added a view to the Participants page to facilitate exporting data into MissionInsight. Note: The "Member Status" and "Member by Means Of " columns will appear empty in the Platform, but are required for the export.
  • Updated the "Fix: No Contact Email" view on the Users page to exclude deceased contacts.
  • Updated the "Made By Field" on the Contacts page Contact Log sub-page to reference the Contact Display Name rather than the User Display Name.
  • Fixed an issue where navigating to the Advanced Search Tool returned an error if "State Is Not Null" was part of the query.
