New and Improved Features

All or Any Filtering on Listing Screens

When filtering a column on listing screens, you can now select whether to apply any of your conditions or all of them. Selecting Any of these means that your conditions are not dependent on each other, and an entry will display in the grid if it meets one or more of your conditions. If you select All of these, then an entry must meet all of your conditions in order to display in the grid.
For example, let's say we filter the Total Assignments column with two conditions: "Greater than 1" and "Less than 10". If you choose Any of these, then anyone with more than 1 assignment OR under 10 assignments will display... which is everyone in your data. In this case, to see everyone with assignments between these numbers, you'd want to choose All of these. That way, only those with over 1 AND under 10 assignments will display.

Long-Term Backups

You may notice a new option when backing up and restoring your data. Select Back up to the Long-Term Backup folder for the more important backups you want to keep on a long-term basis. When you need to restore data, you can select from the Long-Term Backup internal archive folder. Note that the long-term location should not be used for every backup, only those that are most important.
If there are other users in the program when you try to back up your data, you're now prompted to notify them to save their work and exit so you can complete the backup. See Notify and Dismiss Other Users to learn how that feature works.

We fixed issues that were reported internally to our team.
