===== FEATURES =====
==== Ability to edit email to all recipients ====
Notifications has been extended to enable users to edit templates on the fly for all in the selection. If enabled by your agency it is now possible to edit all notifications in a selection and not just the first one. For templates that have been set up to be edited there is a new option to Edit Message or Template, toggle to Template and press the Edit button. \\
{{::edit_all_1.png?400|}} \\ \\
This will open a new window where you can add extra text, include merge fields and make changes to colours, fonts etc. \\
{{:edit_all_2.png?400|}} \\ \\
If these are one off changes for this particular mailer use the Modify Template Text button to keep the changes while you send. If you think it is a template you will want to use again in the future you can use the Create New Template button and give it a new name. This template is not a global template and will only be available to the user that created it. \\ \\
It is also possible to add documents on the fly to all emails, there are new options on the Add button for attachments so you can select a file from your computer or a global document. \\
{{:edit_all_3.png?400|}} \\ \\
This feature Requires System Administrator set up. \\ \\
==== Help Support Tickets ====
A new user role has been created that will allow users with this role to create new Support Tickets directly from IQX. \\ \\
Users that have the role assigned should go to Help>Support Tickets and then click on New Support Ticket on the page that opens up. \\ \\
{{::create_support_tickets_2.jpg?400|Image - Create Support Tickets 2}} \\ \\
{{:create_support_tickets_3.jpg?400|Image - Create Support Tickets 3}} \\ \\
This feature requires System Administrator set up.
==== Hot swap files in Global Documents ====
For agencies that use Global Documents there is now the ability to update a document to a newer version but retain the original document ID. This is particularly useful for things like registration documents as these can often change. Previously when one of these documents required updating, it meant deleting the old, uploading the new then re-grabbing the globaldocumentid and updating the softwizardcontroller. \\ \\
Now this can be done using the new “Update Document” button in the Global Documents view - Maintenance>iqxWEB Setup>Global Documents. \\ \\
{{::global_doc_update_doc.jpg?400|Pic - Global doc update doc}} \\ \\
Notes - The new file must have the same extension type as the one you are updating. (If existing file is .doc you can only update with a .doc). This will only update the blobstore entry, it is not changing anything else eg the description. If needed the description can be overwritten manually just by typing the new description.\\ \\
===== ENHANCEMENTS =====
==== 'Worked' shifts can be included in Invoice Shifts ====
Worked shifts can be included on a client by client basis when invoicing from shifts and bypassing the timesheet by selecting Allow Invoice Worked Shifts on the client miscellaneous view.\\ \\
==== Attach Payroll Documents to Contact Events ====
It is now possible to pick up and send payroll documents via the documents option on a notification and contact event. Note a contact event must be created when sending from a notification.\\ \\
==== Rate Scheme - Notes Field ====
A new Notes view has been added to rate schemes allowing agencies to capture information relating to why they were priced as they are, what particular calculations have been done, any discussions with the client etc. \\ \\
==== Holiday Pay Warning when P45'ing/ending employment periods ====
As holiday pay only looks at the current employment when ending an employment period, either by P45'ing a candidate or adding an end date to the employment period, a new warning has been added so users can ensure all holiday pay has been paid to the candidate before the employment period is ended. \\ \\
{{::hol_pay_warning.png?400|}}
\\ \\
==== Inbox Enhancement ====
Emails can now be dragged from the IQX Inbox and saved as an email on the documents view of a record. This is particularly useful if you receive an email confirmation of timesheet hours rather than a signed timesheet as it can then be picked up in a notification from the Send Invoices view and sent along with the invoice. The email can be dragged to any documents view
{{::email_saving.png?400|}}
==== Web References Select a Template ====
Improvements have been made to the online references so that users can select which email template they would like to send with the reference.
Please contact IQX for more information and assistance with setting this up.\\ \\
==== Notification Enhancements ====
=== Setting Progress State ===
The ability to set the progress state after a notification has been sent has added to the template when the recipient is Agency so you no longer have to use the function..
=== Generic Progress Template ===
Consultants can now select one or multiple candidates on the shortlist that are all in the same state and send them the generic progresscode template rather than only having the option of specific templates for that progress state.\\ \\
=== Notification recipient Function BCC ===
The Notification Recipient function can be used so you can send a notification to a larger list of contacts as BCC. This solves an issue that was found that if you added a list of recipients to the CC or BCC fields directly within the notification template the character limit meant that not all the email addresses would be shown. Note this only works when the transport type of the notification template is email.
This feature Requires System Administrator Setup. \\ \\
=== Selecting a Template ===
In addition to the drop down menu for selecting a template there is now an ellipses next to the drop down menu which opens a new window with a list of templates and a filter to make finding the template you are looking for faster and easier. \\ \\
{{:playground:notif_search.png?400|}} \\ \\
=== Confirmed Shifts Colleague Fields ===
When using COL fields in a Notification template from the Confirm Shifts view, you can now tick specific lines, and only those selected candidates will be included in the notification. Previously, all candidates were returned, regardless of your selection. Temp Confirmed and Client Confirmed are the tick boxes that should be used to select the relevant people you want to include.\\ \\
==== Frequently used Boroughs on Fast New Wizard ====
If your agency uses Frequently Used Boroughs these are now part of the Fast New Wizard.\\ \\
==== SQL Font Size Remembered ====
If you change the font size in any of the following places it is applied to the others and stays at the font size you have set. SQL Tool (both Modal and NonModal), Report Builder (SQL), and Database Functions.\\ \\
==== Filters Added ====
Filters have been added to various views in IQX to help with accessing the data you are looking for/wanting to update quicker. \\ \\

This feature requires System Administrator setup.
Sys Admin

==== Duplicate Report filename ====
If you try to add a new report that has the same name as an existing one, you get a warning advising that a report with that name already exists. Note the report is still added but as per the message it is suggested that you delete it and rename before adding again.

==== Vacancy Shifts view on Temp Desk Custom Column ====
The Vacancy Shifts view on the TempDesk can now include information from the person record. Previously, this view only received the {{vacancyid}}, which limited access to personspecific details. Now, data from the person record can be passed through and captured in a custom column so you can see this information directly in the Vacancy Shifts view.
Pic - Vacancy Shifts Person Custom Column
This makes it easier to review and manage shifts without navigating away from the page. In order for the Custom Columns to show on the Vacancy Shifts view changes will need to be made to your TempDesk Custom Grid Column function, please contact IQX Support for assistance with this.\\ \\
=== Notification recipient Function BCC ===
The Notification Recipient function can be used so you can send a notification to a larger list of contacts as BCC. This solves an issue that was found that if you added a list of recipients to the CC or BCC fields directly within the notification template the character limit meant that not all the email addresses would be shown. Note this only works when the transport type of the notification template is email.
This feature Requires System Administrator Setup.
Sys Admin
In order for this to work you need to update a function called Recipients which is found under Notifications. Maintenance>Database Functions>Notifications>Recipients.
Below is an example of what needs to be added.

Please contact IQX Support if you require assistance with this.\\ \\
==== Notifications Email to Send Table (Task) ====
Notification templates can be set up to be sent to the Email to Send table where, rather than going instantly, they can be picked up by a scheduled job and sent. You will need to tick the Email to Send option on the miscellaneous view of the template. \\ \\
==== Hide notification Template column on Grid ====
For agencies with a lot of complex notification templates it can be slow to filter on the screen as the template field contains all of the HTML and the filter is looking through all of this. A new user layout setting 'Hide Notification HTML Template Column on Grid' allows you to hide this column on a user by user role to speed up filtering.\\ \\
==== ExternalCode field - visible on PayBands ====
Maintenance - Temp Set Up - PayBands there is a new field for External Code that can be used for reporting\\ \\
