What's New in Version 4.7

Version 4.7.06

updated A Posted By column and filter have been added to the Requisition Status Report.

updated Users can now export dashboard grids directly to Excel.

updated Users can now change the type of a Filter Control from the page level Administration Tab. For example, the filter control can be modified from a drop-down list to a multi-select list, or from a multi-search box to a search box, etc. Previously, this could only be modified on custom reports via the Report Builder Wizard.

The login page will now create a system notification for all Site Administrators and all application Master Role administrators if the Scheduler service (used for delivery of scheduled Pinned Reports, delivery of communication centre mass emails, and for syncing client support information and the training video library) has not run recently.

The Auto-load Roles job process can now send email notifications if any errors occur during its nightly execution. Use Configuration Setting #699 under Site Administration to set up the recipient list. Please note that your Oracle database will require the UTL_MAIL package in order to send these failure notifications.

Version 4.7.05

updated A Tool tip feature has been added to the search box multi-filter with some helpful usage tips: 1) Click the magnifying glass icon to search; 2) If you know a specific value, you can type it in without searching; 3) Entering a comma separated list of values will split automatically into individual values; 4) Enter a colon [:] to set a range--i.e. A:Z; 5) Enter a percent sign [%] for a wild card--i.e. A% (starts with) or %Z (ends with) or %A% (contains).

Version 4.7.04

updated Single record view can now be displayed on a dashboard by using the Save As pinned report tool and checking the box next to the option for making the grid available on a Dashboard and then adding the pinned record to your preferred dashboard.

updated It is now possible to set a target for a hyperlink destination page (same tab, new tab, pop-up) and the ability to specify if a destination page opens in grid view or card view.

When a custom report or custom data entry form is created or updated and needs to be approved before showing up in the menu for other users, a FAST notification will now be automatically created for all users who have access to approve the report.

There is a new menu item under Administration--> Communication--> Email From Address Administration. This function allows administrators to define email addresses that users can send from (instead of sending from their own personal addresses). Role security can be defined to control which groups of users have access to which "from" addresses.

updated There is now a "View Menu [by User/by Role]" option on the Menu Access screen. This allows administrators to preview what the menu might look like for specific users or roles or a combination of roles.

Version 4.7.03

updated The Administration tab has undergone a major overhaul. It allows Site Administrators to more easily make changes to baseline and customized reports.

Users can now view individual records from any report rather than all of the records at once. To view an individual record, there is a new button on the tool bar above report results (next to the Grid Settings gear button) which allows users to switch between grid view and single-record view.

updated The Email template has been updated to include new formatting features similar to those found on a word processing document or typical email platform communications.

It is now possible to include tool tips, or pop-up text, on grid column titles. These will appear when the cursor is hovered over the column title and can be configured via the Administration tab.

updated Previously, when a user was the creator of a custom report, they would always see the page-level Administration tab on that specific report, regardless of the status of their access to build reports. We have updated this so that the creator will only see the page-level Administration if they still have access to the Report Builder (i.e. must have Report Editor role, application administrator role, or site administrator role as well).

updated When reviewing the Client Support Cases Dialog, users can now review Recently Closed cases via a new filter option.

Version 4.7.02

updated It is now possible to test sending an email communication either to an individual or using the Email All or global Communication options, you can do this by configuring the email and clicking on the "Test" button. This will send a draft of the email to the email address of the logged in user so they can review before sending to the recipient(s).

updated When reordering columns using Advanced Options in a report, it is now possible to move multiple columns at once by using the CTRL+click function to select more than one item at a time and then dragging and dropping into a desired location.

Version 4.7.01

updated In the column level context menu of a reporting grid, the Remove Sorting option has been changed to two options: 1) Remove sorting on this column and 2) Remove ALL Sorting.

There is a new report called Support Cases located under the Help menu in Site Administration. This report pulls data from the Millennium Customer Support System to show you the status of your submissions to customersupport@mcsl.com. Users with access to this report will also see a button in the top-right corner next to their user profile name which will bring this information up in a pop-up box.

updated The Query Comments field on the Query Builder screen has been increased to accept up to 4000 characters in length.

Version 4.7.00

updated Until now, when providing a comma separated list of indexes using the Client Warehouse Builder, only one composite index was created with all columns included. If multiple indexes are desired instead, this can now be done via a semi-colon delimited list.

There is a new help file called Client Warehouse Builder Table Types. This should help users better understand the differences between Stage Tables, Warehouse Tables, and Constant Tables.
