Highlights

Recently Released:

Apps

• Improved Document Explorer Loading Reliability in Tabs (Patch)
  • The loading process for the Document Explorer within the Tabs app has been improved. The system now waits for all documents to load before checking for available data, preventing false negatives and ensuring the explorer always appears when content is present.
• User Context App Loads for New Users Without Language Set (Patch) 
  • The User Context application now reliably loads for new users who do not have a language preference set. The system automatically applies the default language, ensuring a smooth onboarding experience and preventing load failures for first-time users.

Data

• Contacts Manifest Upload (Patch)
  • An issue causing unresponsive pages during contacts manifest uploads has been fixed. Improved validation now prevents upload failures, ensuring a smoother and more reliable experience for users managing contact data.

Documents

• Improved Handling of Share Class Document Data (Patch)
  • A technical issue caused share class document identifiers to be incorrectly processed as a single string rather than an array, resulting in missing documents. The data parsing logic was refactored to ensure arrays are correctly recognised, restoring full document visibility and accuracy for users.

Document Production

• Business Day Calendar in Workflow Schedule (Minor)
  • This release enables users to assign business day calendars to document workflow schedules, ensuring that reports are generated only on valid business days for each region. Scheduling logic has been enhanced so that if a scheduled run falls on a non-working day, it automatically moves to the next available business day, while manual runs remain unaffected.
  • The workflow schedule setup interface has been improved for clarity, with business day calendar options now more intuitive and the non-working day picker displaying only days from the current month. These changes make it easier for users to configure and understand their scheduling options, reducing confusion and preventing errors.
  • Accessibility has been significantly enhanced, with status messages and radio buttons now fully accessible to screen readers and keyboard navigation. Several bugs affecting trigger times and ad-hoc workflow schedules have also been resolved, ensuring a more reliable and inclusive scheduling experience for all users.
• Enhanced Document Redistribution (Minor)
  • Users can now redistribute individual documents from a completed workflow run, with the option to update metadata before redistribution. This improvement allows corrections to be made to manifest files and ensures accurate tracking of distribution details, benefiting users who need flexibility and precision in document management.
• Improved Metadata Tracking for Redistributed Documents (Minor)
  • New system fields capture the user who initiates redistribution, the distribution date, and the distribution source. These enhancements provide greater transparency and auditability, making it easier to monitor document history and ensure compliance with distribution requirements.

DXM

• Subsite Sharing List Visibility Improved (Patch)
  • A fix has been implemented to ensure new subsites appear in the sharing list, addressing an issue where specific sites were missing due to default system limits. This improvement allows users to share pages across sites more reliably, supporting seamless collaboration.

Fund Managers

• Fund Manager Image Validation (Patch)
  • Image uploads for Fund Manager profiles now validate file types and content more strictly, aligning with web standards. Invalid images are blocked, and users receive clear feedback. This ensures only supported image formats are displayed, maintaining data integrity and a consistent experience across all environments.

Coming Soon (next 2 weeks):

Apps

• Bar Chart Navigation Instructions Now Translated (Patch)
  • Chart navigation instructions in the Bar Chart are now translated according to the selected language, ensuring a consistent and accessible experience for multilingual users.
• Key Facts Number Formatting (Patch)
  • The Key Facts app now correctly formats fund size and price NAV values, displaying currency and decimal places as expected. This ensures users see accurate, localised financial data, aligning the experience with other regions and supporting client requirements.
• Fund Managers Improved Accessibility with Semantic Headings (Minor)
  • The Fund Managers app now uses configurable, semantic heading tags instead of styled divs, enhancing screen reader navigation and meeting accessibility standards. This change benefits all users by improving content structure and compliance with WCAG guidelines, without affecting the app’s visual layout.
• Tabs: Faster and Smoother Tab Switching (Patch)
  • Tab switching is now immediate and reliable, resolving previous delays and out-of-sync content. This improvement ensures users can navigate between sections without waiting, providing a more responsive and seamless experience on the site.
• User Context Accessibility Enhancements (Minor)
  • The User Context App now ensures all ARIA buttons, links, and menu items have accessible names, and the language selector is correctly implemented as a combobox. These changes improve navigation for users with assistive technologies and support accessibility compliance.
• Table App and Images: Presentational Elements Accessibility (Minor)
  • Elements marked as presentational in the Table App and images no longer include unnecessary ARIA attributes or tabindex, ensuring screen readers ignore them. This update streamlines navigation for users with assistive technologies and aligns with accessibility best practices.
• Table App: Correct Use of Scope Attribute (Minor)
  • The Table App now applies the scope attribute only to table header elements, improving semantic structure and accessibility for screen readers. This change ensures tables are easier to navigate and meet compliance requirements for accessible data presentation.
• Authentication App: Accessibility and Tab Order Improvements (Minor)
  • The Authentication App now removes unnecessary ARIA and tabindex attributes from presentational elements and corrects tab ordering. These updates provide a smoother navigation experience for users relying on screen readers and keyboard navigation, supporting accessibility compliance.

Studio

• Custom Application Creation Improvements (Patch)
  • Creating custom applications in Studio now provides clear, actionable error messages and ensures successful app creation. This enhancement helps users quickly resolve issues and improves consistency between the user interface and direct API responses, making the process more reliable and user-friendly.
• Studio UI Configuration Saving (Patch)
  • Saving and editing configurations in Studio is now more reliable. Issues with saving new configurations, cloning templates, and the save button’s behaviour have been resolved. These changes reduce confusion and ensure configurations are stored correctly, improving the overall experience for users managing app settings.
• Studio UI Element and Entity Type (Patch)
  • Several Studio UI issues have been addressed, including the ability to add elements after cloning configurations, support for additional entity types, and improved display of chart element overrides. These fixes make configuring and managing applications in Studio more intuitive and efficient for users.

Studio for Office Plugin

• Consistent Footnote Node Port Numbering (Patch)
  • The Add Footnotes node now generates ports in a consistent order, starting at zero, and updates correctly when ports are added or removed. This change improves template reliability and aligns behaviour with user expectations, supporting smoother document creation and editing.
• Improved Table Styling (Minor)
  • Components placed within tables in the plugin now retain their intended styling, ensuring a consistent appearance even when content overflows. This enhancement prevents style loss and improves document reliability for users working with complex layouts.
• Reliable Port Management in Concatenate Node (Patch)
  • Adjustments to the Concatenate node ensure that adding or removing ports is accurately reflected in the preview, and port numbering now follows a logical sequence. This fix streamlines template editing and reduces confusion, making node configuration more intuitive for users.
• Translation Validation Configuration (Minor)
  • Reporting administrators can now configure how missing translations are handled in the Studio for InDesign Plugin workflows. Options include ignoring missing translations, failing if any are missing, or failing only if mandatory ones are absent. Users can now view and download lists of missing translations directly from the reporting interface, with clear visual feedback for failures and warnings. This improvement allows for quicker identification and correction of translation gaps, reducing the risk of distributing incomplete reports.
