New and Planned Improvements 

  • Certifications Field in Matrix Master (Completed): Added default “certifications” column in new schedules, enabling manual editing. Ongoing development for PDF certification package exports.
  • NDA Checkbox in Projects (Completed): Implemented NDA checkbox to ensure project details marked as confidential are excluded from analytics.
  • Search Feature in Manufacturer Analytics (Completed): Enabled description-based search functionality in detailed analytics. Monitoring consistency across different manufacturer templates.
  • Warranty Placeholder in Product Descriptions (Completed): Introduced warranty placeholder in product descriptions, planned removal of the existing warranty field forthcoming.
  • Audit Log for Product Changes (Pending): Initiated audit logging for product changes, data collection phase underway for future functionality.
  • Certifications Export as ZIP (Retest Needed): Created ZIP exports containing certification PDFs and a CSV file detailing each item/certification. Addressing automatic folder structuring and troubleshooting external certification download issues.

Optimisations

  • Column Width Adjustments for Printouts (Completed): Enhanced column width translation relative to paper dimensions, improving print alignment for tables, landscape, and portrait layouts.
We have uploaded some changes to the way the printout translate the column widths relatively to the width of the paper. It should do it better now with full stretch. It means that you might have to play with column widths slightly in existing printouts to get your desired setup so just be aware of it when you print something next time. This affecting table, landscape and portrait prints
  • Temporary Footer Hide Option (Completed): Streamlined footer management through a temporary hide option, reducing manual editing until a permanent fix is implemented.

Bug Fixes

  • Print Footer and Page Numbers (Retest Needed): Corrected footer positioning and added page numbers to printouts. Footer scaling issues under review.
  • Copy Product Certifications (Completed): Resolved data consistency issue by enabling certifications to copy alongside products.
