Releasenotes September 2024
Mediagrid Textitems Enhancement
This update includes the integration of a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor in the Mediagrid for textitems. Users can now format their textitems to match the look and feel of the application with features such as bold, italic, underline, color adjustment, and font change. The saved textitems can be edited again without losing the formatting.
Menu Item Segment Management
Customers can now select which customer segments have access to each menu item. An interface has been added to allow customers to easily select the desired segments.
Improved ZIP file handling in DAM
The latest update improves the way ZIP files are handled in the Digital Asset Management system.
New Feature: Add Dynamic Forms as Blocks to Website Pages
You can now add dynamic forms as blocks to your website pages using the Pages module. This update includes the ability to add existing dynamic forms and select from available dynamic forms via a selection screen. The added forms can be moved and configured as desired within the page.
New Form Creation and Emailing Feature
Added ability to create custom forms with a new 'Add Form' button, users can add fields to the form and give it a title. Completed forms are saved in the database and can be optionally emailed to a registered email address in key > value format. User interface has been updated with a name change from 'Customizable Forms' to 'Forms'. Each form now has a designation for whether it is a fixed or dynamic form, and a checkbox has been added to allow users to choose whether or not to email completed forms.
New Shopify Export feature
A new feature has been added to allow customers to export all product data and semantic data for use in Shopify. A cronjob has been implemented to generate a new CSV export 1-2 times per day and make it available via a public URL. The export is compatible with the Shopify CSV file format.
New Feature: AI Target Audience Group
Users can now enter a custom target audience group (e.g. 'Florists') in addition to the existing age group option when setting up AI target audiences. This new feature is optional and will be compatible with existing functionality that uses target audiences.
New customer registration link and session retention
The update ensures that new customers can continue shopping through the link they receive in the email. The session of the customer will be retained even if they use a new browser or device. To ensure security, only authorized sessions will be retained.
Product data feed security enhancement
The product data feed is now secure and can only be accessed by authorized users. A new setting 'secure feeds' has been added to control this behavior. This can be found via settings>security. When this toggle is turned on, the feed URLs for Channable and Channel Engine will require username and password authentication. Logs of access attempts are recorded for audit purposes.
Import enhancement for VAT-inclusive prices
The system can now recognize and process the attribute price_including_vat during the import of FD_Prices.
Product Detail Page Updates
On product detail pages, customers can now see a range of how many items are in a box, rather than just a single number. Additionally, the exact number of items per box is displayed in a popup when clicking on the 'i' icon. A new 'min-max' option has been added to the data tab manager to show the range.
Adjustable Forms - Save button text customization
This update brings a new feature to Adjustable Forms that allows for customization of the text on the save button.
Consistency in Hiding Options
The recent update ensures consistency across all pages by hiding size and color information when the settings for hideColor and/or hideSize are set to true. This update is now extended to historical order detail pages, invoices, and shipments. The user interface remains intuitive and user-friendly even when certain information is hidden.
Update: Simple products on the PDP
Users will now see a label: value field instead of an EAN table when viewing simple products on the PDP.
Registration fields visibility improvement
Admin can now view all fields filled in during registration and export them to CSV.
Enhancement: Display Custom Filters in Breadcrumbs
Users can now see applied custom filters in the breadcrumb navigation. This will allow users to easily navigate back to previous points in their navigation, including custom filters they have applied. The breadcrumb display is consistent across different pages and sessions as long as the filters are active.
Color and Color Group Auto-Fill
This update introduces a new 'Prefill colors and colorgroups' button in the colors screen that automatically fills in missing hexcodes and color group links based on color group names. The feature also calculates the most commonly used color combinations and matches them to existing product colors. Matching of color group names is case-insensitive.
'My Discounts' and CSV Export
Customers and agents can now view their highest discount per product variant under a new 'My Discounts' section in their accounts. A toggle to show or hide the section is available, and a CSV export function has been added to download all discount data.
New Features and Enhancements for Text Suggestions
This update introduces a new feature that suggests text for product descriptions and rich text based on previously entered text. The feature includes a select box for text size and a button to generate a suggestion based on the target audience and size. Users can accept or reject the generated text. The suggestion text can be generated for each language tab and is specific to the language of the tab.
New feature for increased security
A new feature has been added to increase the security of accounts. You can now set a specific interval for customer accounts to reset their password. This feature can be found under 'Settings' > 'Security' > 'Webshop', and will only apply to customer and sales agent accounts. After the set interval, a password reset form will appear when the customer attempts to log in, ensuring that their account remains secure. The reset form will automatically log the customer in after the password has been successfully changed.
New feature: 'order_entry_blocked' column on account level
Introducing a new column 'order_entry_blocked' on account level, which is already present on customer level. This will allow customers to block specific accounts from placing orders. To implement this update, we will be modifying the XML import, XSD files, and definitions. Additionally, a new column will be added to the authentication table, and 'order_entry_blocked' will be added to the Userconfiguration.
New Features and Enhancements
Users can now add products to their favorites list or cart from the 'previously ordered' page. The ribbon has been expanded to include two icons (heart and cart) visible when the user is logged in. A visual indication is given if a product is already in the favorites list or cart. The heart and cart icons are no longer visible when the user logs out.
Checkout: Option to make 'My reference' field mandatory
A new setting has been added under 'Settings/Checkout' which enables the 'My reference' field to be a mandatory field in the checkout process. By default, this setting is turned off.
Improved Customer Selection for Mobile View
Added a new feature that allows agents to easily select customers in mobile view by placing buttons on the left side. Also added 'My Customers' overview in the module and separated 3 buttons (presale, stocksale, notes).
Multiple Media Grids Bug Fix
Fixed an issue where media grids on a page were not retaining their own properties when there were multiple grids on the page. This means that each grid can now have its own unique properties, including column width and alignment, even when there are multiple grids on the same page.
Custom Font Upload Feature
Customers can now upload and use their own custom fonts in the system.
Improvements to Date Display and Localization
Users can now view notes in the checkout in the date format based on their localization settings. The shipment date in the order confirmation email and PDF footer will also display in the language of the user. To test, enable the 'order_comment' setting and place an order to ensure the correct date format is displayed. This can be found at settings > checkout > order comment.
Performance Warning for Certain Settings
Users will now be warned when enabling settings that affect performance through a new icon and message. The icon will appear next to applicable settings and when clicked, a message will appear informing the user of the impact on load times for the affected component. The feature applies to the following settings: Email management, semantic display on order confirmation, number of items per page, additional fields in catalog display, dynamic prices in catalog, and EAN fallbacks.
