Enhanced List and Gantt Views

Enhancement

🔍 New Type and Number Columns for Improved Planning Flexibility

In this update, we've enhanced the List and Gantt views in Plans and Tasks. A new "Type" column has been added, initially hidden but easily customizable. We've also introduced a "Number" column to replace the project number previously shown in the Title. You can now filter items using a multi-option selector for the Type column, choosing from Task, Milestone, Project, Campaign, and Activity. These changes offer greater flexibility in organizing and viewing planning items, with all preferences saved via the Layout Manager.

 

 


Improved Tags Functionality in Deliverables

Enhancement

🔍 Better Tag Structure, Exports, and Data Tracking

In this update, we've enhanced the Tags functionality in the Deliverables details area. You will now see all tags associated with their site, along with a special "Production Process" tag if it's defined in their master site. The new tag structure is incorporated into XML and JSON exports, and the same rules apply to the Bulk tag modal in Deliverable list views. We've also ensured that Deliverable tags are now included in Management Information (MI) for improved data tracking and analysis. 

 

 


 

Chat AI Assistant Interface Update

Enhancement

🔍 Enhanced Visual Consistency and Brand Alignment

We've addressed visual inconsistencies in the Chat AI assistant interface. The title color in the AI assistant modal has been adjusted to align with our brand's primary color scheme. We've also resolved a header display issue in the main AI assistant portal, ensuring a smooth transition when accessed from the top navigation. These improvements contribute to a more polished and consistent user experience across the AI assistant features. 

 

 


 

Enhanced Feedback Request Process

Enhancement

🔍 Multiple Forms Dropdown and Improved Tracking in List View

We've enhanced the feedback request process for sites with multiple feedback forms. You will now see a "Feedback form" dropdown when sending a request, defaulting to the primary form labeled as "Default" or a custom name set by the admin. Additional forms can be selected from this dropdown before sending. We've also added a new "Form" column in the List view, positioned to the left of the Status column, displaying the selected form's name. This improvement offers greater flexibility in feedback collection and easier tracking of form usage.

 

 


 

Planning List View

Enhancement

🔍 Improved Task Display, Interaction, and Live Updates

In this update, we've refined the "TASK" column functionality in the Planning list view. The hover modal now displays only tasks without children, including top-level tasks and second-level tasks. We've also addressed issues with the refresh button and the hover-over event for the "Next task" modal. The modal now opens on click instead of hover for improved user interaction. Additionally, we've enabled the task to refresh the live environment to ensure timely updates of next tasks against projects in the listing view.

 

 


 

Enhanced Kanban View

Enhancement

🔍 New Task Filter and Improved Usability for Streamlined Task Management

In this update, we've enhanced the Plans and Tasks Kanban view with improved filtering capabilities. We've introduced a new "Task" filter field to the left of the existing Assignee dropdown, allowing you to search and filter tasks based on their titles. This field features a placeholder text that says "Task" and dynamically filters the Kanban board as users’ type. For ease of use, a clear button (X) replaces the magnifying glass icon once text is entered. We've also refined the Assignee filter by removing the "ASSIGNEE" label and changing the placeholder text from "All User" to "Assignee". These changes streamline the filtering process and improve the overall usability of the Kanban view.

 

 


 

New Adobe CC Integration

Enhancement

🔍 Access and Manage Current Deliverables for Enhanced Workflow Efficiency

We've integrated a new feature in the Adobe CC app allowing you to access their current deliverables. The list, limited to 300 items and sorted by earliest deadline, displays project and deliverable details. You can click for more information or return to the full list. This update excludes completed or cancelled items and aligns with existing My Calendar rules, improving workflow efficiency for creative professionals. 

 

 


 

Comprehensive Layout Manager for OMG Grids

Enhancement

🔍 Customizable Views and Persistent User Preferences

In this update, we've implemented a comprehensive Layout Manager feature for OMG Grids such as Deliverable Outputs, Briefs section within planning, and Top Nav Deliverables. You can now customize their grid views to match their workflow preferences. This includes showing or hiding columns, adjusting column widths, and applying sorting to visible columns. These personalized settings are automatically saved after 10 seconds, ensuring that each user's preferred layout persists between sessions. 

 

 


 

Global Admin Lists Upgrade to Grid V2

Enhancement

🔍 Enhanced Navigation, Customization, and Responsive Design

We've upgraded the Global Admin lists to use Grid V2, enhancing the user experience across Sites, Groups, Roles, Form Templates, Products, and Agencies sections. This update introduces responsive design, sticky headers, and improved column management including sorting, hiding, showing, and reordering. You can now search using keywords in headers and benefit from enhanced date formatting.

Key changes include:

  1. Removal of redundant search bars and filter buttons in Sites and Agencies
  2. Addition of "Active" tabs across all sections, with plans to include "Inactive" tabs later
  3. Retention of the search bar in Sites for crosstab searching
  4. Preservation of existing functionality, such as the "Assign form template" feature in products

This upgrade significantly improves navigation and customization options, allowing for a more efficient admin experience. Currently, a beta flag controls the feature, ensuring thorough testing before full deployment.
