Authentication / User Account
  • *New* My Profile, also known as the User Account Dialog, has a fresh UI! Learn more about navigating the new and improved dialog here
  • *New* Login flow, including Sign Up and Reset Password, has a fresh UI! See Logging In and Login Screen Branding to learn more. Note: We recommend using a white or white outlined logo with a transparent background for best appearance.

  • Enhanced the message displayed when a User's provided Login credentials match multiple Records. 
  • Enhanced diagnostic logging for OAuth as well as other Platform functions.
  • Enhanced multi-lingual support to source values from Application Labels
  • Enhanced My Profile to hide fields "Time Zone" and "Locale" for any User without Security Roles. Users with at least (1) Security Role will see these fields. 
  • Enhanced the message presented to Users who login to the Platform without Security Roles to be translated in all supported Languages. 
Charts / Dashboards
  • *New* Chart Type's "Line" and "Column" now support multi-series layered data with optional Trend Lines
  • Enhanced Add Chart and Edit Chart dialogs to display the currently selected Chart Type prior to saving (and thereby closing) the dialog. 
  • Enhanced Edit Chart dialog to display View Title and related View Record Count. 
  • Enhanced Add Chart dialog save action to read simply "Save" thereby reducing confusion. Choosing "Save" is the final step in adding a Chart to a User's Dashboard. 
Home Page
  • *New* Badges showing outstanding Tasks and overdue Tasks are now displayed in the "My Tasks" tab allowing this pertinent information to be visible from any Home tab including "My Dashboard". 
  • Enhanced the Status shown under "My Messages" to source from each Recipient Record rather than the Message Record.
User Interface / Layout / Graphics 
  • Enhanced Application Label Records to support current and future features. 
  • Enhanced User Time Zone/Locale Mismatch dialog to better predict a User's settings by sourcing from both the Domain Record and browser. 
Schema - Tables, Pages, Fields
  • Enhanced User Login performance by adding new indexes. 
  • Enhanced MetaData to only source Tables from the dbo namespace. 
  • Enhanced the current Application Labels schema by removing related, unused Tables. 
  • Enhanced the relationship between Messages and Publications by improving the respective Sub-Pages and including a new "Publication Messages" Page. 
  • Fixed an issue where Age was not properly calculated in months for Contacts under 1 year.
Creating / Editing / Deleting Records
  • Fixed an issue where "occurrence" was misspelled in the "Select Occurrence" drop-down for Events belonging to a Series
  • Fixed an issue where the delete dialog presented a delay before actions (for example, choosing "Delete") were available. 
Messages
  • Fixed an issue where launching the New Message Tool from a Page with a defined Messaging Default Sub-Page did not populate the Data Fields drop-down with the Sub-Page's Default Field List. 
Advanced Search / Views / Notifications
  • Enhanced text boxes in SQL Layout tab of Advanced Search to recognize shortcut Ctrl+Home and return the cursor to the beginning of the text box. 
  • Enhanced column searching to retain cursor focus after a search is executed. 
Grid, Calendar, Timeline, Gantt Layout
  • Fixed an issue where Records could not be selected in Day or Week mode of Calendar Layout
  • Fixed an issue where, in some circumstances, the Calendar Layout skipped weeks when using Next/Previous navigation. 
Processes / Tasks
  • Fixed an issue where a Task's existing Start and End Dates did not appear populated in the Edit Task dialog. 
  • Fixed an error in the Task Panel when a User's Display Name was not populated. The Display Name is now sourced from the Contact Record. 
API / Webhooks
  • Enhanced the /Publications.svc endpoint to make all Publications available where previously only Publications with Available Online = True were returned.
  • Enhanced API to support an authenticated User's Global Filters. 
  • Fixed an issue where the API returned an error when the response included DataType "TimeZone". 
  • Fixed an issue where duplicate columns added to Domain field "Contact Merge Fields" returned errors when accessing related applications such as Batch Manager and Cloud Tools. 
  • Enhanced Webhooks such that one can be triggered by attaching or removing a File from a Record. 
Installation / Configuration
  • Fixed an error related to a rare scenario where a Task invoked as part of a Process has some - but not all - Process related fields populated. 
Attach Files / File Management
  • Enhanced Attach File workflow to warn Users that files above 20MB exceed the max file size.
