Release 14 - Development
Here's a summary of the work the development teams have completed, explained in a way that's easy to understand. We've grouped the work into categories to make it clearer.
1. Incentives & Rewards (What Dealers and Users See & Manage)
Default Incentive Display: The way incentives are presented is being updated so that they're automatically stacked together, and a specific type of incentive ("growth incentive") will now be shown more clearly.
Incentive Accuracy: The team is checking and correcting the numbers associated with incentives, adding and removing partnerships, and ensuring the numbers displayed in reports are accurate. This includes a focus on the data appearing within the main analytics dashboard.
Incentive Snapshots: A way to get a "snapshot" of what incentives are active for each company is being developed.
Threshold Dates: Information on when incentive periods start and end will now be visible.
Permission Restrictions: Access to the incentive program is being restricted. Only users with the correct permission levels will be able to see and use it.
Exporting Incentives: A feature is being created that allows the ability to export a list of incentives, sorted by dealer or brand, into a simple spreadsheet (.csv) file.
2. User Interface & Experience (How Things Look and Feel)
Mockup for Owners: A sample view of how incentive data and features are expected to appear is being created for review and feedback from executive team members.
Incentive Card Pop-up: When clicking on an incentive "card," a pop-up window will now appear with more details.
Overview Display: All incentive cards will be shown in a main "overview" section.
UI Refresh: The design of the analytics dashboards (for both companies and overall incentives) is being reviewed and improved.
Spaces User Content Issues: The team is addressing a few issues with how content and photos are saved when creating spaces:
Preventing content cards from being duplicated.
Ensuring photos upload correctly.
Replacing the word "undefined" with an empty string when a space is created without a description.
Brand Space Management: Brand owners will now be able to see and edit their spaces.
Dealer/Brand Analytics Menu: The "Users" section will be removed from the analytics tab menu for dealers and brands.
3. Technical Foundation & Data (Behind-the-Scenes Work)
Dealer Name Issue: The team investigated why some dealer names were not showing up in a specific tool.
Canonical URLs: A technical fix is being implemented to ensure that each website domain is correctly identified and receives credit in search results.
Dynamics Updates: Updates to the underlying data management system (Dynamics) are being made to match the needs of dealer services.
File Upload Fix: A change is being made to improve how files are uploaded and to address a situation where extra spaces were appearing in file names.
Website Migration: A new, temporary environment (sandbox) is being set up to move a website to a new global platform.
Domain & SSL Certificate: The team is working to connect a specific website to the correct domain and ensure it has a valid security certificate.
Analytics Data: The team is confirming the numbers appearing within company and incentive analytics are accurate.
4. Space Management and Functionality
Hiding List Price: The list price will now be hidden on product pages.
Featured Space: Owners will now have the option to create a “featured space” under brands.
