| Change | Type | Applies To |
| ***************New Feature*************** | ||
| Open Complaints Dashboard Widget | New Feature | Administrator |
| There is a new dashboard widget available for administrators who have the Complaint Management or System Administrator grants. This widget presents a summary of open complaints, the user’s complaints and complaints with late or overdue events without needing to run queries through the complaint screen. | ||
| Custom Forms Self-Serve | New Feature | General |
| Users of the member portal are now able to start to fill out a custom form themselves without requiring the administrator to first assign it to them. Administrators can still, however, also assign a custom form to a member or other user. For information on the configuration of custom forms please contact the help desk. | ||
| Custom Form Reviews | New Feature | General |
| Custom forms can now be configured to support reviews by people who are not users of the Alinity system. For information on this configuration option please contact the help desk. | ||
| Register Counts Report | New Feature | General |
| A new report to show the number of members currently in each register and subsection, is now available from the Registrations management page. | ||
| ***************End of New Feature*************** | ||
| ***************Feature Update*************** | ||
| Disable License/Permit Download by Register | Feature Update | Registration |
| A register can now be updated to remove the feature to download a permit/license on the member portal. This is useful in scenarios where a member may be active on a register but those registers do not get a license or permit with the organization, such as a transitional register. | ||
| Application Approval Blocked for Unpaid Invoice | Feature Update | Applications |
| If an administrator attempts to approve an application with an outstanding invoice the approval will now be blocked and the administrator will receive a message that there is an invoice which must be paid first. | ||
| ‘Review Required’ Profile Update query searches broader set | Feature Update | Profile Update |
| Updated to return not just explicitly blocked forms, but also forms with a reviewer response, or with a follow-up date that’s due or overdue. | ||

| Subscription Storage Button | Bug Fix | Administrator |
| When viewing your subscription details there was an issue where clicking the button to look at storage info would not show the information, this is resolved. | ||
