Invoice Offset Due Date at End of Month (AX-15907) Ideas Forum
A new 'Due at end of month' option has been added to accompany the Invoice Due Date Offset settings. The Due Date Offset causes the due date of an invoice to be a number of days after the date an invoice is created. If the offset is set to be due at the end of the month, the invoice due date will be the last day of the month that the offset due date falls within. For example, if an invoice is issued on the 10th of January with an offset of 30 days, the due date would be the 9th of February. If 'Due at end of month' is enabled, the due date would instead be the 28th of February.
This setting can be enabled by default for all invoices in the Additional Options tab of the System Settings or individually set for particular organisations to help facilitate scenarios where particular companies pay with end of month terms.
Workshop Attendance on the Contact Profile (AX-15985)
Workshop Attendance information is now displayed on the Contact Profile within the Workshop Participation Record section. A new column has been added that will show the total number of sessions for that Workshop as well as the number of sessions that have been marked as attended. Hovering over this column will display more detailed information about the attendance including the number of dates that have been marked as not-attended. For performance purposes, the Workshop Participation Record section will now also be collapsed when the Contact Details page is first loaded. This will help make the loading time of the Contact Profile page as fast as possible particularly with Contacts that have multiple Workshop enrolments.
Responsive Columns Assessment Display Component (AX-15869)
A new Assessment Display Component has been added for Responsive Columns. These columns can be used to split a section of the Assessment content into 2 or 3 columns that will span the whole width of the display area. This can be included in your Assessments by clicking the Plus icon or right-clicking in the content area and selecting it from the list. Some general improvements have also been made to the styling and formatting of some of the existing Assessment Display components (AX-16037).
Ezypay Improvements
- The Billing Intervals of Ezypay Subscriptions are now able to be edited after they have been activated. This means for Weekly billed Subscriptions, the day of the week can be changed and for Monthly billing, the day of the month can be changed. After changes have been made, the next billing date and future payment dates will be updated. (AX-16088)
- Some improvements have been made to the interface used to create or update Ezypay Payment Plans to make it more clear which information is required. (AX-16182)
Preserve Online Assessment Response Notes (AX-16062)
A new “Preserve Responses Notes” setting is now available for Online Assessment Types. When using Build on Attempts, this setting controls if any Notes (including Feedback and Evidence notes) present against question responses will be duplicated to the responses in the new Attempt. Additionally, an issue has been resolved where Notes duplicated to new Attempts would not have the created date and time of the original note.
Card Number USI Validation (AX-16187)
In line with the notice from the USI office, we have updated the validation for creating USIs with a driver's licence to make the card number field mandatory for all states.
Client & Agent Portal URL Changes (AX-16223)
The Client and Agent Portals have had their URLs changed to: https://clientportal.app.axcelerate.com and https://agentportal.app.axcelerate.com respectively. The previous URLs will still also be valid, meaning any existing links you have will continue to function as they would have prior to this change. This change was made as part of ongoing background improvements that aim to maintain the stability and security of the platform.
