Features


  • Embed Encode in third party software - An Encode package that can be "embedded" within your application allowing for bringing your existing customer service systems and content into a single unified experience that fits your business needs.

Please note the following limitations in release 9.100 that will be fixed in the next service pack (9.100.1):

- Both npm packages (Item sheet and Proofreading) cannot be used at the same time in single page application because of the duplication issue with CKEditor. Packages can be used separately.

- Syncronoius page navigation in compare mode in Proofreading stops working after switching from single view to split

  • Third-Party Licenses - New top-level section within System Configuration > About > Third-Party Licensing which stores a list of licenses included in the Encode service

Improvements


  • Validate and analyse product price 6 weeks forward - When setting the offer price on a promotion our customers want to be notified if the price will be valid in the future, so they can comply with the required regulations. The existing retrospective offer price validation will be extended so that it can also forecast and can validate whether a price will break any pricing rules 6 weeks into the future.

  • Change of all layout display templates in one go - Minimize the time taken to update layout display templates with new "Apply to all pages" allowing for multiple pages to be updated in a single action.

  • Download product list - It is possible to download a product overview Excel from the Briefing Portal Page. The report downloaded, previously defined by week number, has been adjusted to be defined by the campaign.

  • Show inherited fields from a linked module - Easily gather attributes that are common to several linked items minimizing the configuration effort required. Inheritance will be utilised further within a future release to allow for creating custom hierarchies for Product Families to gather attributes that are common to several products.

  • Allow audio file playback - Easily listen to audio content and convert to other formats without the need for separate tools.  Read more about this functionality in our guides 

An important note on Allow audio file playback!

The audio player uses HTML Audio and will only allow playback of WAV, MP3 or OGG files 

  • Launch AdBuilder from Dashboard - To allow for quick and easy access to AdBuilder from anywhere within the system we have introduced a new icon to be displayed within a dashboard list widget. This will additionally be available within the action list. 

  • Show UI event buttons on the Dashboard - To improve user experience UI event buttons configured for a module will now be available within the action list from a Dashboard.

  • AdBuilder Usage Metrics and Restrictions - An additional option to restrict the usage of an AdBuilder template for a given user based on their usage over a defined period allowing greater control for our customers. The usage counter will monitor the number of times the template is downloaded, printed or saved. In scope, and based on customer requests, we have extended the usage metrics within Metrics > Adbuilder Templates with this information.

  • Action filters by filename - It is now possible to trigger an action when a new file has been uploaded with additional consideration taken for when the file may have the same filename.
