Improvements and fixes

Clarifying related Items

We've improved the messaging when removing related items.

• Remove Related Items from current version is now Remove current version of the related item(s).
• Remove Related Items from all versions is now Remove all versions of the related item(s).

We fixed these bugs

• When using the Firefox web browser the refresh hierarchies button no longer blocks the screen. We've also stopped this option from creating duplicates if pressed multiple times.
• The Document Activity log now displays the results in the correct chronological order.
• We fixed an issue where some LOTE characters were not displaying correctly when viewing document properties.
• We've optimized the document search screen to allow you to scroll at different screen resolutions.

Improvements and fixes

Preview distribution groups

We heard your feedback. When previewing distribution rules, you can now see the users who are part of a mailing group.

• Previously if a group was added to mail as part of a distribution rule, you could only preview the group name and not its members.
• Now, recipients who are part of a group are shown with a green distribution group icon.

See project fields in transmitted documents

• Transmittals now show document fields and project fields.
• Document Controllers can now see all related information within a transmittal in a single screen.
• When viewing file properties you'll find project fields associated with the selected documents, in addition to the regular document fields.

Improvements and fixes

Fitting more in

• You asked, so we did it. We've increased the character limits for some fields.
• Issue Type and Inspection Template Category now accept up to 50 characters.
• Inspection Question accepts up to 500 characters.
• Issue Comments, Issue Description, and Issue Description Suggestions now accept up to 1000 characters.
• Generally, it's good practice to keep your entries short so they're easier to read. 

Improvements and fixes

See review status at a glance

• We've made it easier to understand why a document version has changed.
• See which documents are ready to update based on their workflow outcome.
  • The status Updates Available (Review - Pending) means a new document version is currently part of a workflow.
  • The status Updates Available (Review - Approved) means a new document version has completed a workflow and is available to update. Its review status is Approved.

Update documents faster

• A search filter has been added in package edit mode to help you find documents within a package.
• For example, package documents can be filtered by Review Source and Review Status.

Improvements and fixes

Choose your date entry

Rather than picking a date from the calendar, you can now enter a date directly from the keyboard. This saves you time if you know the exact date you want to enter. This applies to the following processes:

• Submitting/Approving a contract change order.
• Submitting/Approving a payment application.
• Creating a change event.

Improved messages

We've updated messaging to help you find and update related records when deleting:

• Control accounts with contracts that have no pay items linked.
• Change events with contract changes linked.
• A distribution curve with control accounts linked.
• A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element when its children are referenced elsewhere in Cost.

We fixed a bug

• The control element category name is no longer case-sensitive. This means if you have a category named Concrete Materials you cannot add another named concrete materials (in a different case). 
• We've made importing tags faster.

Improvements and fixes

More user details

• Get more details about your users in the User Details Assignment & Configuration report.
• The report now includes each user's Division, Address, and Country.

We fixed these bugs

• Filtering the Field inspection report by Checklist Title now displays the results matching the filtered text.

Improvements and fixes

View your organization's name

• For consistency, the organization name you see in the Lobby will now match the value used in Aconex.
• Previously the Lobby displayed the Organization Name, but will now use the organization's Trading Name.

View all users in one place

• Need to find a user, but not sure which organization they are in?
• Now you can search all users across all organizations you administer.
• Only Lobby accounts are shown. Aconex users who have not yet created Lobby accounts will not be shown on this new screen.

Improvements and fixes

Using lastUpdated in Cost APIs

• The lastUpdated field in Cost APIs is now updated when a tag is changed.  Use this field in your integrations to check if any value was changed on a record.
