Installation / Configuration

  • Fixed an issue where Domain related information was executing too often causing performance issues.
  • Added a missing application folder to the IIS server to support the new login option using Windows Authentication.

New Message Tool

  • Fixed an issue where unresolved tokens caused an error when pasting content in the New Message Tool when copied from Microsoft Word.
  • Fixed an issue where the list of Time Zones in the New Message Tool did not match the list of Time Zones in the User Account Dialog.  

Attachments/Files

  • Enhanced the File Viewer to support encrypted PDF files.

User Interface

  • Fixed an issue in which the Platform displayed an error for some invalid dates due to Daylight Savings.
  • Fixed an issue where the offset shown in the Time Zone drop down now takes into account Daylight Savings Time. 

UTC, Time Zone, and Locale

  • Enhanced the dp_Get_TimeZones() function to return Culture and Abbreviation columns in addition to ID and Name.
  • Enhanced the dp_Format_DateTime function to return Abbreviation columns.
  • Enhanced all Time Zone drop downs to include the standardized generic time zone names (e.g. Eastern Time instead of Eastern Standard Time or Eastern Daylight Time).
  • Enhanced all time stamps to include the standardized generic time zone abbreviation (e.g. ET instead of EST or EDT).

System Setup

These items are typically part of a Reports, Routines, & Notifications release, but are included with this Platform release for expediency.

  • Fixed an error on the All Form Answers page that was referencing the wrong Global Filter.
  • Fixed an error with the Selected Call List Enhanced report found on multiple pages.
  • Fixed an error on the "Record Review and Useful Links" report on the Events page.
  • Fixed the default Process called "Group Finder Sign-up" so it will look at the Configuration Setting (PORTAL > PendingGroupRoleID) and fire when a new prospect uses the Group Finder to sign up for a Group.
