Agility Blue Update (November 2023)

What's New?

Task Sorting

This update provides greater flexibility and control over how tasks are displayed, making it easier for everyone on your team to stay on track. We've enhanced your ability to organize tasks within projects:

• Enforced Sorting Options: In the "Project Details" settings tab located on every project, you now have the option to enforce task sorting on a project-by-project basis. When set, this sorting preference will override any personal task sorting settings.

• Template & Cloning Consistency: Define sorting settings within project templates to maintain consistency. These settings will also be carried over when cloning projects, ensuring that tasks are presented in the order intended by the project template designer.

• Flexible Sorting Fields: You can sort tasks using any task system field.

• Custom Sort Order: For even greater control, select the "Custom Sort Order" option and arrange the tasks to your preference by clicking "Edit Order.

Data Deletion

To further protect your data, we've introduced an extra safeguard to the deletion process:

• Mandatory Verification Added: While the confirmation dialog will still appear as usual, it now requires you to type "delete" into a text field to proceed.

This new mandatory verification ensures that data deletion is a deliberate action, adding an extra layer of protection against accidental data loss. Your careful attention to this step helps maintain the integrity of your data within Agility Blue.

General Enhancements

We've made several other improvements to streamline your experience:

• Improved Link Wrapping: Task comments and emails with long URLs no longer stretch beyond the viewable area. Links now wrap more naturally within the task's bounding box.

• User Time Zone Fields: Time zone information is now available in the user grids, making it easier to determine which time zones users are using.

• History Key Field Split: The history Key field is now divided into two fields named Key (Number) and Key (String). Previously, text-based ids were captured in the description and the numeric key was recorded as -1. Now, the text-based ids have their own dedicated field.

• Enhanced Portal Visibility: Portal users can now immediately see requests that get created as drafts for requests where they do not select a matter without having to wait for the task to be converted to a normal project.

• SFTP File Import Expansion: Enterprise The SFTP file import service can now bulk import custom object entries. See the documentation for more information

Bug Fixes

• Bugfix Fixed a permissions issue where users that didn't have the ability to upload attachments would get an error while attempting to create new task email messages.

• Bugfix Fixed an issue where applying a multi-edit action in one workspace and then switching to another workspace to apply the same multi-edit action would cause an error.
