News

Many sites means many advocates getting many people the help they need.
Changes
🔄 Effective 2024-12-26 for demo sites, then 2025-01-03 for live sites. 🔄
🪄 API mavens should review the always informative, interesting, and ever changing API Changelog.
📆 LS-119144: Adding a new Knowledge Resource will let you enter an optional Start Date and End Date. Just for your record keeping purposes for now, but who knows what some algorithm may do with them in the future.
LS-121526: Sites with Electronic Verification of Time or Advanced Grants Management like the Admin > Timekeeping Settings page option Display Funding Code Breakdown on EVT/AGM Confirm Time Page. They may also enjoy the new Display Funding Code Subrow Breakdown on EVT/AGM Confirm Time Page setting.
📆 LS-121861: The After Today date preset in report filters in run mode includes the current date. Particularly confusing for report writers because it does not include the current date in edit mode. After looking up "after" in the dictionary we decided to fix run mode.
🔎 LS-122362: The Organization Affiliation block that may adorn your shiny dynamic contact and user forms gets a new Organization Search & Select configuration option. Sites with hundreds or thousands of organizations may want to consider ticking that box.
📆 LS-122476: The Online Intake Appointment and Online Intake Clinic Event Appointment blocks currently look for open appointments only on the destination site with the lowest ID number. Not an issue if you only etransfer to one site. But if you have multiple sites both blocks will now allow setting the API credentials for the destination site of your choosing.
👇 LS-122584: You put the Office field on a timeslip, and ticked the box for Default to the Case or User’s Office. You were confused when adding time on a case and the office was yours, and not the assigned office on the case. Confusion removal implemented.
👷🏼♀️ ⭐ LS-123144: Contractor module denizens will surely be pleased to see the Invoices tab has been replaced by 6 tabs, one for each invoice state, so you can focus on just the invoices you want to see. Each tab now has only the columns and bulk change functionality relevant for that group of invoices. A new select all checkbox for bulk changes. So much to like.
📜 LS-123274: The list of pay periods in some Pay Period filters (EVT and AGM sites) went wonky and stopped grouping pay periods by year. Filter lists de-wonked.
🗣️ LS-123329: Accessibility: We're confusing people using screen readers by having it announce an incorrect label for County search and select fields. De-confusion on the way. Other search and select fields will get similar in the future.
📝 LS-123366: Automatic note drafts are nice, so it would be good if they worked for notes on timeslips (via the Confidential Notes block, often bearing the label Case Note). Goodness on the way.
💰 LS-123399: If you've put the Financial Information block in a Guided Navigation segment of wonder, and you allow income overrides, the Income Eligible field will save and display the override as you hoped and dreamed it would.
⌨️ LS-123402: If you've set your Preference to skip the toolbar when you tab into a TipTp editor element, pressing Shift+Tab in the text box will take you up to the first icon in the toolbar, and the right and left arrow keys will then walk through the other formatting icons.
🎁 LS-123515: Electronic case transfers will now include the fields set by the Basic Financial Information block, viz: Family Size (Application), Gross Monthly Income (Application), and Percentage of Poverty (Application).
🎁 LS-123566: Implementing Electronic Verification of Time or Advanced Grants Management is now a bit easier because you can set the Exclude User from Pay Period Process field using the Edit Multiple Users Simultaneously feature.
🎁 LS-123567: The list of users on the Edit Multiple Users Simultaneously page now displays a User Role column.
