Release 12
Here's a summary of the work the development teams have completed, broken down into categories. This explains the changes and improvements made to the system in plain language.
1. Gateway & File Management (Focus: How Files are Received & Processed)
Removed Publishing Option: The system no longer offers "Publishing" as a choice when files are initially sent in. This simplifies the process for sending files.
Direct File Uploads for Owners: Owners (like manufacturers) can now upload files directly, even with changes to location settings.
Special Spaces Access: A new way to provide access to special spaces has been implemented for integration with another system called MRL.
2. User Interface (UI) & User Experience (UX) (Focus: How the System Looks and Feels)
General Appearance Refresh: The entire system has received visual updates to make it more modern and appealing. This includes updated content and a more pleasing look and feel.
Brand Page Title Update: The title on the Brand page has been changed to align with the current branding.
Circular Logos: Product logos now appear as circles, giving a more polished look.
Footer Changes: Certain links (sitemaps and landing pages) have been removed from the footer.
Hide "Request a Quote": The "Request a Quote" button has been hidden to simplify the interface.
Font Consistency: Issues with fonts have been corrected across the system, so text is easier to read.
Board Image Fix: Images on boards now display correctly.
Board Contents Updates: The information displayed on the boards has been updated.
3. Data & Analytics (Focus: Viewing and Understanding Information)
Location-Based Analytics (Frontend & Backend): Users can now see data broken down by location. This means they can see information specific to different areas.
Incentive Program Data in CRM: Incentive program details (conditions, dealers, and thresholds) are now visible within the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system, making it easier to manage these programs.
Indeal Data Visualization in CRM: Sales data (incentives, purchases, rebatable amounts) for companies involved in the Indeal program is now displayed in charts within the CRM.
Complete Sales History: Administrators can now view the full sales history of companies that previously participated in the Indeal program.
Rebatable Sales Data: Administrators can see how much money companies have received back in rebates as part of the Indeal program.
Total Purchases Data: Administrators can view how much companies have purchased as part of the Indeal program.
Incentive Analytics - Indeal Account Numbers: A way to view and filter incentive data by Indeal account numbers has been implemented, both for viewing the information and for the data itself.
Brand Discovery Filters: Users can now use filters to quickly find brands they's are looking for on the Brand Discovery page.
Indeal-Used Brands Visibility: Brands that have used the Indeal program are now clearly identified on the Brand Discovery page.
Product Associations: When viewing a product, users can now see a list of the spaces that product is associated with.
"Indeal Dashboard" Link: A quick access link to the Indeal Dashboard has been added to the user profile dropdown.
4. CRM and User Management (Focus: How User Accounts and Data are Managed)
Role Assignment for Dealers & Brands: Dealers can now assign users to the "dealer" role, and brands can assign users to the "brand" role.
Duplicate Company Reporting: A process is in place to report and address duplicate company entries.
5. Technical Improvements & Bug Fixes (Focus: Behind-the-Scenes Corrections)
Brand Page Crash Prevention: A problem that was causing the Brand page to crash has been fixed.
Missing Brands in Filters: The list of brands visible in the filters on the Product Discovery site has been corrected.
Image Issue in MRL Link: A problem with the image in the MRL link has been fixed.
Shaded Box Fix: A specific colored box with text that appeared when certain files were uploaded has been updated to be less confusing.
Product Dimensions Hidden: The product dimensions are now hidden from view for a more streamlined product view.
Brand Page Navigation: A link to the brand page has been added for easier navigation.
Restructured Space Page: The layout of the Space page has been reorganized.
