Platform - September 2022
This release introduces address validation via Melissa Data SmartMover to keep your data clean and happy. Equally exciting? The ability to end user impersonation with one click. It also includes security enhancements, handy-dandy updates, and bug-fixes.
Note: Support for the legacy UI is ending. You'll still be able to access your "/ministryplatform" URL, but testing and support will end. The legacy UI will begin redirecting to the next generation of the Platform with the November Platform release.
Authentication
- *NEW* Added the option to stop impersonating a User in one click rather than logging out and logging back in.
- Enhanced OAuth with an additional security check when applications initiate a login flow for an existing security session.
- Enhanced security so that if an authenticated User updates their password, they will be required to re-authenticate.
Messages
- Fixed an issue where an error was returned when no SMS number was set to be the default.
- Removed the period (".") at the end of the Create Account Verification Text and Reset Password Verification Text Templates to ensure links are clickable.
Note: If you've modified these templates, we did not change them, so keep doing YOUR Church YOUR way.
Records
- *NEW* Added the ability to validate addresses and be notified of address changes by Melissa Data SmartMover.
Note: You'll need to do some setup to leverage this powerful tool to keep your data current.
- *NEW* Added the option to show hidden pages in the Security Role Grid. By default, the pages will be hidden until this option is selected. Want to see hidden pages? Tap the eye icon at the top of the Security Grid.
- Added Image Reference Fields to Compliance and Compliance Details so you can see who has complied with the Requirements.
- Added Image Reference Fields to Qualifications and Qualification Details so you can put a face to the name of your qualified Contact.
- Enhanced Congregations to include a Plan Your Visit Template rather than a Plan Your Visit Message.
Note: If you're currently identifying a Message ID in your Plan Your Visit Template, we've converted that from a Message ID to a Template ID for you, so messages will keep sending without interruption. If there is no Message ID identified, no Template ID will be added. Make something really cool? We'd love to see it in the Community Forum!
- Enhanced record deletion so that the page refreshes immediately after records are deleted.
- Enhanced export so that Users can export their entire Selection or a smaller segment of that Selection obtained using a column search.
- Enhanced setting times in the Platform to allow Users to manually enter any time (Hello, 11:59 PM registration cutoffs!) or choose a time on the time drop-down list.
- Enhanced the Bookmarks list so bookmarks appear in-line, rather than in a separate pop-out box.
- Removed the Requirements subpage from the Ministries page.
- Fixed an issue where the Publication ID field appeared twice in the default view on the Subscribers in some cases, resulting in an error message.
Searching
- Enhanced Advanced Search so that Users can filter by time-only fields.
- Fixed an issue where time values were resetting to midnight when a User changed other values in Advanced Search.
