2024-11-27 Release Notes
News
- Welcome all the nice folks at these organizations as they begin their onboarding journeys of wonder and discovery:
- LegalServer staff have tomorrow and Friday off, except for a small, but determined, crew monitoring the radar screens.
- Correction: The Branch Logic block's new "Hide Lookup Options" mentioned in last week's release notes should have said it currently only works with system lookup fields. Custom lookup field support may be on the horizon. The person responsible for the error has been sacked.
Changes
🔄 Effective 2024-11-28 for demo sites, then 2024-12-06 for live sites. 🔄
🪄 API mavens should review the always informative, interesting, and ever changing API Changelog.
📫 LS-88313: If you've configured the Address block to "Ask for Institution", the address inserted is editable. Many said it should be read only. What to do? Add three new options that let you decide.
🧑🏾⚖️ LS-97068: Gavelers will surely find the "Launch the Gavel Workflow" popup windows (colloquially: modals) a more pleasing size.
🔎 LS-104798: The Type column in Conflict Search results will now include the relationship selected for adverse parties. 4 out of 5 survey respondents agreed that "Adverse Party - Co-defendant", "Adverse Party - Landlord", etc. is better than just "Adverse Party".
📜 LS-117788: If you use the API element on reports, you will surely agree the dropdown list of Date Source Document Source options is now formatted and ordered in a more pleasing way.
🏢 LS-120304: Should the Case/Matter - Cases list view option "Limit Program filter to programs linked to the Viewers Office" cause an error if some offices on the site don't have a program selected? Survey said "No", so we went with that.
📇 LS-120696: If you are editing one of your Index Sets of wonder, the "Create one new item per unassigned source value" button will now do what it says on the tin instead of adding new items (rows) for every source value, even ones you've already mapped.
🔧 LS-120847: Type is a required field for the Alias (Simple) block but it isn't marked as such, and only displays " is required" instead of "Type is required" if you don't make a selection. Particularly unfriendly in an online intake. Both deficiencies corrected.
🔢 LS-121086: You added the Report Links element to your homepage of wonder's Actions menu, checked the Sort Links box in the configuration, and prepared for joy. The unsorted links did not spark joy. There is joy in your future.
🦡 LS-122111: For Duty Attorney mavens (all others avert your eyes): Add a "Restrict Editing to Role With Can Assign" configuration to the "Calendar Time Period View” block which will require that the user have a project assignment on the relevant project with an assignment type that has the "Can Assign" option checked in the lookup options. This option will only appear when the "Enable coverage gap filling UI" option is checked.
✅ LS-122157: If you never collect addresses and phone numbers for adverse parties, you are bound to enjoy seeing new "Show" options in the Adverse Party block that you can uncheck to hide those fields.
⬛ LS-121715: Should the Organization name on a ReferralHub service ever be a sad blank space? It should not, and shall not.
👷🏼♀️ LS-122299: Trying to add the Workflows or Current Workflows list views to your case profile? Your sadness will be removed by this fix.
🔧 LS-122307: The Action selector at the bottom of a pending case transfer page will not show the "Begin Prescreen" option unless you have selected at least one prescreen process on the Admin > Process Settings page.
🏛️ LS-122389: Report API JSON Output will now properly handle the same column being on a report more than once. For example, you have Date Opened in the report showing the full date, and Date Opened in another column formatted to Year Only. The resulting JSON output with every case showing the current date for Date Opened was deemed confusing and unhelpful. Even in Philadelphia.
🚒 🧑🚒 LS-122587: Some Guided Navigation intakes were not working on Friday, 2024-11-22. Fixed pushed out that day at 1:13 PM Eastern.
🚒 🧑🚒 LS-122659: Guided Navigation elements using "Action: Set a field's value" were displaying "false" instead of a previously set Value if you tried to edit one, or an error if you tried to add one. Fix pushed out on Sunday 2024-11-24 at 7:13 PM Eastern.
