Specialist Interface Update: Notes Presentation
Specialist Interface users with larger screens can now see the ‘Notes’ section of many record types separated from the other sections and basic information of those records. Making better use of the available screen real estate allows for more overview and increases usability. Xurrent decides if the ‘Notes’ section can be separated from the other […]
Estimated Completion on Workflow Phases
The Workflow Progress Tracker allows requesters to track the progress of their requests, even when these are linked to a workflow. This progress tracker is presented at the top of any open request that is linked to a workflow that has not yet been completed. To give specialists and end users even more progress information, […]
Updated Notes Design
After several changes have been made to the placement of the ‘Notes’ section over the last few weeks, the section itself has now received an update, too. This update serves to make the notes easier to read and scan, and aims for a calmer user experience while giving prominence to the most important information.
Custom Field Visualized on Custom Collection
Custom collection elements are special records that could not be registered using one of the standard record types available in the Xurrent service. Each custom collection element belongs to one custom collection. These custom collection elements have their own view, but can also be viewed from the custom collection record. This is preferred by many […]
Improved Google Maps Support
Since the initial announcement of Google Maps support by means of a Location field in UI extensions, this functionality has been notably improved. Three very useful options have been added to the ‘Snippets’ section of the UI extension form for this field type. The Zoom level determines the portion of the map that the user […]
Approve and Reject Buttons Always Enabled
Last week, a new field was added to the task templates, making it possible to add a note to an approval task, or make a note required when completing any other (project) task. In the Specialist Interface, this could cause the Approve and Reject buttons to sometimes be grayed out, forcing the approver to open […]
Reverse Notes Order in Self Service and Mobile
In Xurrent self Service and in the Xurrent Mobile App it is now also possible to reverse the order of notes in requests, tasks, and other records that can contain notes. For this, the Sort button is now available at the top of the ‘Notes’ section.
Easily Assign Project Tasks to Self
A small usability enhancement has been made for Project Management. Often, when editing a project task to add an assignee for that task, a user will want to link him- or herself. This would then involve a quick search. After clicking the Link assignees… link, the person who is currently logged in is now immediately […]
Numbered Lists Can Contain Images
The possibilities for basic text formatting within Xurrent have steadily increased over the years. One of them is numbered lists, which can have sub-lists (or nested lists) within them, to create structures like the table of contents of a complex document. The library that Xurrent used for its rich text editor had a flaw, though. […]
