What's New in AppCentral 1.4.0.0

With this release, a new application, Fixed Assets, has been introduced to help finance teams manage the full lifecycle of company-owned assets. The Fixed Asset module is tailored for CFOs and finance personnel who oversee asset tracking, depreciation, financial reporting, and compliance. Additionally, this version expands international support through Dutch language localization.

Enhancements/Modifications

Fixed Assets

The Fixed Assets module enables companies to effectively monitor and manage their physical and intangible assets from acquisition through disposal.

Designed for finance professionals, this module supports accurate recordkeeping and provides the controls needed to align asset management with corporate accounting practices.

Dutch localization

AppCentral now offers full Dutch language support, improving usability for global teams and enhancing accessibility for Dutch-speaking users.

Resolved issues

• Fields on the Support Cases, Documentation, and Downloads tabs are now properly translated and localized based on the user’s selected language. This ensures a consistent and accurate multilingual experience across the application.
• The options to connect M2M and CRM were not appearing on the Integration page for certain tenants, affecting access to these key applications. The configuration process has been enhanced to ensure company details are sent correctly during product activation. Integration options now appear as expected, allowing users to proceed without interruption.
• Users could not download the Print Agent from the Aptean Print section, as the action failed to start the download. The process has been corrected, and users can now download the Print Agent without issue.
• In the setup screen, some users experienced skipped or delayed character entry when typing required details. Input detection has been refined to ensure smoother and more accurate data entry, improving usability during initial configuration.
• File upload behavior has been improved to better support large file sizes. Previously, uploading very large files (such as high-resolution videos) could trigger memory-related errors. The system now handles larger uploads more reliably, reducing interruptions during file transfer.
• M2M now logs out automatically when users sign out of AppCentral, as expected. This ensures session consistency across platforms and reinforces secure, coordinated access management.
• The Cloud Down option has been removed from the Type dropdown for on-premise customers. This streamlines the case creation process by ensuring only relevant options appear, aligning the interface with the customer’s deployment model.
• The filter criteria for KB Articles, Documentation, and Downloads have been streamlined. The Primary Product Line filter has been removed to reduce hierarchy dependencies. Users can now filter directly by Application, selecting from a dropdown of products their account has access to. This adjustment makes it easier to find relevant content across all entitled applications without unnecessary filtering steps.
• Users added directly through AppCentral now receive All with Access post notifications from Salesforce, even if they aren’t marked as community users. This improvement ensures broader visibility and consistent communication across all user types, supporting effective collaboration and timely follow-ups.
• Links in the Install AI Assistant workspace now correctly route users to language-specific support pages based on their selected interface language. German, French, and English users will be directed to localized Chrome extension and Help pages as expected, improving the clarity and accessibility of setup resources. Unsupported languages will continue to default to English.
• Previously, users assigned to a group with access to a single app were able to see all available apps in the All Apps workspace. The access logic has been corrected to ensure users only see the apps their group is permitted to use, supporting proper access control and a streamlined user interface.
• The AppCentral product tour previously displayed all available features, including those intended only for full production environments. To reduce confusion and improve onboarding, the tour has been updated to reflect only the features accessible to the current user.
• In the KB Articles tab, the Application filter was not persisting across pages. Users had to reselect their product after navigating, which led to empty result pages. The filter behavior has been corrected to remain consistent as users move through paginated results.
• Within Insights, hidden reports were still showing the Hide option instead of switching to Unhide, making it unclear how to reveal reports. The interface now correctly reflects the available action based on report visibility.
• Clicking the Create New Case button unexpectedly launched a pre-recorded video. This behavior has been removed. A video will now appear only when intentionally uploaded or recorded by the user.
• Exporting reports to PDF previously involved long load times, causing delays in viewing the final document. The export performance has been improved, ensuring quicker access to the rendered PDF report.
• Users added directly through AppCentral, who had permissions to create cases and receive notifications, were not receiving feed updates. Notification delivery has been corrected to ensure proper visibility and engagement for all eligible users.
• In the Downloads tab, when no documents matched the search or filter criteria, the message Select a product line was shown instead of a relevant no-results message. The feedback text now clearly states No Downloads Available to accurately reflect the outcome.
• While interacting with dropdowns in the Support Cases form, pressing the Escape key closed the entire Create Case pop-up instead of just dismissing the dropdown. The keyboard behavior has been corrected so only the dropdown is dismissed, preserving the current form state.
• In the KB Articles screen, selecting an application and then typing in the search field cleared the application filter unexpectedly. Filter behavior has been improved so that both fields work independently without resetting each other.
• In modules such as Connect > Support Cases, after applying filters, pagination did not function correctly and sometimes failed to load results across multiple pages. The list view now maintains proper pagination post-filter, ensuring smoother navigation through filtered results.
• In the KB Articles tab, column sorting was not available, and the search function did not return results reliably. Additionally, typing in the search field cleared the selected application. Both search and filter behaviors have been improved for a smoother experience.
• Contact names appeared multiple times in Connect, leading to cluttered and confusing entries. The duplication issue has been cleaned up to ensure accurate and distinct contact listings.
• After leaving AppCentral idle for more than 30 minutes, users encountered system errors when navigating to different pages. Session behavior has been stabilized to support continued navigation after periods of inactivity.
• When cases were created in AppCentral, some key fields such as Application and I need help with were not syncing with Salesforce. Data flow between the platforms has been corrected to ensure consistency across systems.
• Downloaded KB articles were named using system-generated IDs that were not meaningful to customers. The naming now reflects the actual article title, making files easier to identify and manage.
