GideonSoft 2023 Release 2 (Sept 2023)
[Final Production version 3.232.1.4]
Get The People Moving!
- More Module In-Processing Options … Settings can now include global profile fields, display a date picker or picklist fields, and use an expression builder for a username field. Settings can also be copied from one category to another.
- Expanded Persistent Module In-Processing Capabilities … We’ve added In-Processing categories (just like the Performance Module process), a queue (for review), an option to create a user account, as well as more assignment options.
- Better Admin Visibility … We added the ability to send In-Processing notifications to admins, when people join GideonSoft via QR code or email.
- Streamline The Moving Process … Admins can use presets to set default usernames, passwords and identifiers when moving multiple people at one time.
An Expanded Report Design Toolkit!
- More Sophisticated PDF Export Options … Such as setting the default orientation.
- Overlay Functionality … Designers can allow report administrators to hide selected report items or allow them to customize displayed language.
- Organize Your Work … In Report Design mode, you can now sort and filter your report design list and view more details about them. Including a new kind of detail…
- (New) Report Categories … These can be used to sort and filter reports in the list of report designs (for internal use).
GideonSoft Models Are All the Rage!
- Start Modeling Much More Easily … The Model Builder now has 2 modes: “Progress Report” mode (for profile visualizations), and a new “Model Only” mode (to help build out the Measurement Model).
- A Whole New Face … We redesigned the Measurement Model user interface to make it much easier to get started: new navigation layout, functionality, labels, and icons.
Other Miscellaneous Changes or Updates
- Updated API Integration with the LDRX platform.
- Launched a new Support site: What’s New in GideonSoft; an expanded, searchable Knowledge Base, and a more integrated help request form.
- More sophisticated enforcement of roles and permissions, for appropriate access restriction.
- On the Instance Home Page, we’ve added the ability to select/display one or more roles.
