Version: Frontend 5.4.17 / Backend 5.4.42
This month’s release introduces a helpful new feature for user administration, improves data accuracy for your marketing efforts, and resolves several key issues to enhance system stability and performance. These updates are designed to give you better visibility and a smoother, more reliable experience across the platform.
New Features
New "Last Login" Date Column Added to User Management: To improve account security and oversight, a new Last Login column has been added to the users table in Setup > Manager > Users. This allows people with user management permissions to quickly see the last time a user accessed the system, making it easier to monitor activity and manage accounts effectively.
Improvements
Marketing Opt-In Status Now Captured from Website Leads: When a new contact is created from a website lead, their marketing opt-in preference is now correctly saved and reflected in their contact record. This improvement ensures that your customer marketing consent is accurately tracked from the very first point of contact.
Fixed Issues
Cost Centre Headings Not Selectable in RFQs and Variations/Change Orders: An issue has been resolved where clicking a Cost Centre heading in the "Add" menu for RFQs and Variations/Change Orders would incorrectly add the heading itself as a line item. Now, only selectable items can be added, preventing errors and ensuring document accuracy.
User Login Activity Tracking Restored: We have corrected a bug that prevented the system from recording user login times since early June. The "Last Login" date is now being tracked accurately for all users, restoring full visibility into account activity.
Sandbox Variation/Change Order Approvals No Longer Send Emails: We've fixed an issue where approving a Variation/Change Order in a sandbox environment would incorrectly send a live email notification. This ensures that your testing activities remain separate and do not cause confusion for suppliers.
G.J. Manage Mobile App Installation on iOS Restored: An issue related to an expired certificate that prevented the G.J. Manage mobile app from being installed on iOS devices has been resolved. Users can now download and install the latest version of the app successfully via the QR code under the Go To menu. Learn more about getting started with G.J. Manage here.
