A new enhancement to the CRM system provides more control over the Client Centre by allowing individual previews for each applicant. 

This update refines the existing functionality, making it easier to view the Client Centre exactly as each applicant will experience it.

Previously, the "Launch Client Centre" button opened the Client Centre view for the primary applicant by default. With this enhancement, the button now includes a dropdown menu displaying all applicants who have been added to the Client Centre request. This allows you to select and launch the Client Centre for any specific applicant, ensuring that names, modules, questionnaires, and other details appear exactly as they will for that individual.

This update does not change the core functionality of the Client Centre but introduces a more precise way to navigate and manage applicant views. 

By offering a direct preview for each applicant, it provides greater control and ensures a clearer, more accurate representation of their Client Centre experience.

3. Improved User Interface and Clarity

We’re excited to introduce a new feature that gives you more flexibility and control over task due dates when changing an Opportunity Status.

Previously, auto-action tasks were assigned due dates based on predefined settings and offset days, but now, you can override these dates directly in the status change modal, before you trigger the actions. This ensures that tasks align with your needs, eliminating the need for manual date changes and making workflows more scalable.

What’s New?

Opportunity > Status Change Modal:

• A new ‘Due Date Override’ column has been added, allowing you to manually adjust a task’s due date when changing an opportunity status. You will still see the calculated date based on your setting in the Admin > auto-actions section.
• If a task template has an Offset Dependency, the system will pre-calculate the due date as usual.
• However, if you enter a manual date in the Due Date Override field, it will replace the system’s default date.
• A tooltip is available for guidance: “Once specified, this date will override the Offset Dependency and default date settings, becoming the task's due date.”
• If no override is provided, the system will use the default offset-based due date.

Admin App > CRM Settings > Task Templates:

• A new ‘Status Change Effective Date’ option is available for Offset Dependency when setting up task templates.
• When selected, the system will assign the task due date based on the scheduled status change date.
• If an offset is applied in the task template settings, it will automatically adjust the due date accordingly.

How It Works:

1. When you schedule an opportunity status change, auto-actions will generate tasks with system-calculated due dates.
2. In the status change modal, you can override these due dates before confirming the status update.
3. If you don’t override them, the system will apply the offset dependency rules from the task template settings.
4. This feature allows you to ensure all tasks align with your scheduling and operational needs.

Why This Matters?

• More Control: Set due dates that better reflect your workflow rather than relying solely on system defaults.
• Eliminates Manual Changes: No more adjusting task dates manually after they’ve been created.
• Greater Flexibility: Your auto-action workflows are now more adaptable and scalable.

This update is now live! Start using it today by navigating to the Opportunity Status Change modal and making the most of the new Due Date Override feature.

We are introducing two new mandatory fields for all Payee accounts in the Commissions App: Phone Number and Email Address. These fields must be correctly set by you for your Payees, as they will soon be required to receive a One-Time Passcode (OTP) to log in and access their commission statements.
This update aligns with Connective’s commitment to enhancing security and protecting financial records.

To ensure that multi-factor authentication (MFA) and other communications are functional, you must now provide an email address and phone number when adding or editing a Payee account.

Key Enhancements:

• Email Address: Must be entered in a valid email format and is required before saving the Payee record.
• Phone Number: Is required before saving the Payee record.
• Existing Payee Records: If you open an existing Payee record, you will not be able to save it unless both the email and phone number fields are populated.

Impact on Commissions App > Manage Payees > Edit/Add New Payee

• These new fields will now appear in the Payee record form.
• You must enter a valid email address and phone number before saving the record.
• If either field is missing, you will be prevented from saving changes.
• This ensures that Payees have the necessary details set up for secure login via OTP verification.

Benefits of This Enhancement

• Increased Security: Strengthens the login process with OTP verification.
• Improved Future Communication: Ensures Payees receive important notifications regarding their commissions.
• Compliance with Best Practices: Aligns with Connective’s security standards for financial data protection.

You should review your existing Payee records and ensure that valid phone numbers and email addresses are provided for each Payee.

We are pleased to announce a new feature enhancement in the CRM that improves the visibility of questionnaire responses within the Opportunity module. 

You will now be able to see which client has answered each section of the questionnaire, making it easier to track client input, ensure data accuracy, and facilitate follow-ups for completion and corrections.
This new functionality introduces the ability to associate client names with questionnaire responses, enhancing transparency and usability for you.

Key Enhancements:

• Identifying Respondents in Questionnaires: Each section/module of the questionnaire will now display the full name of the client who provided responses.
• Multiple Clients Support: If multiple clients are linked to an opportunity and were added to the questionnaire, their names will be shown individually for each module they have answered.
• Improved Merged Templates: When questionnaires are merged into templates, the responder's name will be displayed to each answer, ensuring clarity in responses.

Impact on CRM > Opportunity > Questionnaire Panel

• The questionnaire panel now includes client names next to each module heading.
• If a questionnaire is sent to multiple clients, each module will show the respective client’s name to indicate who provided the response.
• This applies only to modules classified under Applicants, where responses are required from all linked clients.
• Previously, you could not determine which client answered each module, making it challenging to verify the information.

Impact on CRM > Questionnaire > Merged Templates

• When questionnaires are merged into a document, each response will now include the client’s full name.
• Regardless of whether multiple answers exist in one cell or each client’s response is recorded separately, the responder’s name will be prepended to the answer.
• This change ensures you can easily distinguish responses from different clients.

Benefits of This Enhancement

• Greater Clarity: You can immediately identify who provided each response.
• Improved Efficiency: Reduces back-and-forth communication to confirm client inputs.
• Better Client Engagement: Ensures accurate representation of client responses and facilitates personalized follow-ups.
• More Accurate Documentation: Merged templates will now provide a clear attribution of responses, improving data integrity.

This feature is now live and requires no additional setup. You can begin utilizing it immediately within your CRM workflow.

As part of our ongoing improvements to enhance the functionality of Task Templates, we have added two new fields: Priority and Task Type. These fields provide more flexibility and granularity when creating and managing tasks within templates.

New Fields in Task Templates:

• Priority: Indicates the urgency level of the task.
• Task Type: Defines the category or nature of the task.

Where to Find Them:

These fields are located in the table for tasks within the Task Template editor (Admin > CRM Settings > Task Templates).

What do these fields do:

• The Priority and Task Type fields can be set for each individual task within a template.
• Templates can have multiple tasks, with each task having a unique priority and type.
• These fields are optional; You can leave them blank if not required.

Application of Task Templates in CRM Opportunities:

• When you apply a Task Template to an opportunity (CRM > Opportunity > Tasks > Apply Task Template), the assigned Priority and Task Type for tasks will be carried over to the newly created tasks.
• This ensures consistency and saves time for users, as they don’t need to manually set these values after applying a template.
• Tasks created from an auto-action setting will carry over the Priority and Task Type values automatically to match the settings in the template.

Benefits of the Update:

• Enhanced Task Organization: Users can now categorize tasks by priority and type, making it easier to manage and prioritize workloads.
• Streamlined Workflow: Automated tasks inherit key attributes, reducing manual input and increasing consistency.
• Improved Customization: Flexible options for defining tasks within templates to fit specific business workflows.

How to Use the New Feature:

1. Navigate to Admin > CRM Settings > Task Templates.
2. Add a new task or edit an existing one within a template.
3. Assign values to the Priority and Task Type fields (optional).
4. Save the template.
5. When applying the template or using it in an auto-action, observe the new fields reflected in the created tasks.

This update empowers you and your administrators to create more structured, prioritized, and categorized task workflows seamlessly.
