This ensures that new products or versions are quickly and accurately reflected across our platforms. Secondly, we have improved our data synchronization process. This means that the status of variants between the PIM system and the Core-portal will be updated in real-time or at scheduled intervals. This ensures consistency and accuracy in the representation of product variants across our systems.

New Features and Enhancements in Price Determination

We have implemented a new feature that allows users to specify the direction of rounding (upwards or downwards) when determining prices. This helps to prevent unintentional roundings that could potentially lead to unfair pricing. It is important to note that this new feature is fully compatible with our existing price determination processes.

 

Revamped Admin Menu Structure

We've simplified the admin menu structure for you. The third level has been removed to avoid intermediary screens. As part of these changes, we've created new sections for each component that previously had intermediary screens. These new sections house the links that were previously on the intermediary screens. In cases where a link to intermediary screens was already a sub-level, we've created a new section based on that level. Lastly, we've updated the left menu to match the new menu structure. The updates apply to the following components: Discount Rules, App, Tweakwise, DAM, Price conditions, Printables, Stats, Webservice.

 

Enhanced Image Linking Capabilities

This feature is applicable to the Top Logo (migrated), Page headers for Catalog, News, Contact, Blog, Press, Stores, Catalog item, and Lookbook selected.

 

Enhancements in the Website Images Module

We've introduced some exciting updates to the website images module. You can now add images for different locales active in the system. This feature helps to tailor your content according to specific geographic regions. If an image for a currently active locale is not available, the system will automatically use the image for the default locale. This ensures that there is always an image being displayed, enhancing the user experience.

 

New Feature: Secondary Buttons on LoginForm

We're excited to introduce a new feature that allows the placement of secondary buttons on the LoginForm. This feature enables easy navigation to other pages like the account/registration page. A new setting, 'url_registrations_button', has been added which is only visible when the registration module is turned off. If this setting is filled in, an extra button will appear next to the login button. The link attached to this button will open in a new tab. This update is designed to provide a more user-friendly and efficient navigation experience.

 

Enhancements to Core-portal Cookie Security
