Platform - August 2024

Say hello to the easy button of password generation! And check out all the other improvements to the way things work in the Platform.

Generate Passwords

We made it easy to generate a high quality, secure password for certain fields! You can even set the password length (minimum of 12 characters) and whether it should use uppercase, lowercase, digits, dash, underscore, space, special characters, brackets, and/or Latin characters.
Right now, the password generator is available for Link Shortener API Key on the Domain record as well as Client Secret and Encryption Key on API Client records.

To help when you apply for A2P campaign approval through Twilio, we added opt-in language to the Sign Up screen. The default opt-in message states, "By providing your phone number, you agree to receive text messages. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies and you may opt-out at any time." You can customize this message using the Application Label, Platform Client: oauth.smsDataWarning.
Fixed an issue where users who logged out of widgets were not being directed to the expected landing page.
Fixed an issue where iOS device users tried to use Safari's AutoFill feature for the one-time login code but got the message, "Authentication code is expired or invalid".

Fixed an issue where event registrants received an error and were not being added to the group specified in the Product Option Price.

We improved the way selection transfers are handled. Now, the Transfer Selection button only displays if your current selection can be transferred. Otherwise, when there are no pages that your selection can be transferred to, the button is not clickable.

To prepare for an exciting integration we're working on, we made some schema changes. No need to worry about these too much (we'll provide more info later), but you may notice a few new pages and fields.
- We added a page for Integration Definition Types under Lookup Values and a page for Account Information under Administration.
- We added a Site Number field on Domain and Congregation records as well as a Send to Accounting field on Deposit records.

We moved jumplinks in front of the record they're related to, making them more easily accessible and neatly aligned on your records.
Fixed an issue in Reports where the View Report button was sometimes hidden. Now, the button displays to the left, below the report parameters.
Fixed an issue with dashboard charts where the record count was sometimes cut off when viewing on a mobile device. Now, longer view names are shortened with an ellipsis so you can see the full count.
The old User Email field on the User record has been hidden via Field Management since it's no longer needed.
