Shared “People” Email Templates | Feature Update | |
Email templates that are used on the people page can now be selected when emailing from any of the other search pages (eg: Registrations or Invoices). The email templates are separated into groups showing the email template specific to the page at the top of the list then the people email templates at the bottom. | ||
Email Templates Grouped By Category | Feature Update | |
Email templates with categories will now be grouped when selecting an email template to send. | ||
Restrict Complaint Related Emails by Default | Feature Update | Complaints |
When creating emails from a complaint feature the restriction option will be set by default on the email. | ||
Preserve Withdrawn Forms | Feature Update | General |
Forms that are withdrawn in Alinity will now have a PDF generated and stored on the person’s record to view for audit purposes. | ||
Registration Year for Statistic Displays | Feature Update | Registration |
The statistic widgets have been updated to allow the registration year displayed by the charts to be changed so all years can be viewed. | ||
***************End of Feature Update*************** | ||
***************Bug Fix*************** | ||
Popover Adjustments | Bug Fix | General |
Additional adjustments were made to the popovers to address scenarios where it may take several clicks to open them. | ||
Registration Snapshots can be Modified When Locked | Bug Fix | Registration |
Snapshots could be edited or deleted when they were locked, this has been corrected and will no longer be possible. | ||
Snapshot Scheduling | Bug Fix | Registration |
Snapshots that were created to run on a scheduled date did not run at the end of the chosen day, this has now been corrected. | ||
Save & Email on Invoices | Bug Fix | Accounting |
Invoices for organizations cannot be emailed automatically since they are not related directly to a person with an email address. The option to save & email is hidden when an organization is selected now and this prevents receiving an error. | ||
PAD Batch Processing Time Out | Bug Fix | Accounting |
When processing PAD transactions by selecting them in the table and running the “Process Transactions” batch action. The processing timed out when too many records were selected. This issue was fixed by running the process in a background job. | ||
***************End of Bug Fix*************** |
