Release - Notes

Widgets can now be added directly to product detail pages. In the admin area, a new "Widgets" tab is available in the product editor. Using a modular system, administrators can customize a product's page with various elements. This allows for the flexible display of product-specific information, such as a point of contact or links to the manufacturer’s website, offering greater customization and adaptability to meet user needs.

Paging has been introduced in the portal to improve performance and provide a better overview. Users can now set the number of elements displayed themselves and choose between 20, 50 and 100 elements.

The "Asset Collections" page type has been expanded and optimized. Administrators can now more easily create pages for asset collections through the settings. Only the selected asset collections are displayed, and they can be added individually or via multi-select using the search button. The added asset collections are searchable, quickly editable, removable, and can be sorted using drag and drop functionality. This update simplifies the management and organization of asset collections, improving overall efficiency.

Administrators can now specify whether products in a bundle are offered as optional items. This gives users the freedom to decide whether or not they want to order a particular product within the bundle.

From now on, it is possible to set the quantity that will be displayed for all products when the product page is opened. This quantity can be set as high as desired and serves as a guide for the customer.

With the new release, the usability and design of the request detail and task overview in workflows have been optimized to provide a clearer display of the process.

Multiple products can now be grouped into bundles, allowing portal users to order pre-configured packages more quickly. This simplifies the organization of tasks such as store openings, employee starter kits, and more. Existing products can be combined into bundles and assigned to different suppliers. The quantities of items within a bundle can be set individually, and administrators can define custom quantity tiers for these products.

With the new update, the user-friendliness of inventory management has been improved. The main menu item 'Portal Management -> Inventory Management' has been split into two tabs. In the 'Inventory' tab, all stored warehouses can be displayed and filtered. In the new 'Inventory Items' tab, a clear list of all items in stock is shown. Items can be filtered by warehouse, critical quantities, and out-of-stock status, among other criteria.

To be informed about critical stock levels at an early stage, it is now possible to assign one or more responsible individuals per warehouse. These individuals will receive a daily email warning when a product reaches a critical stock level. A new system email, 'Information about Critical Stock Levels,' has been introduced and can be configured as usual under Settings -> System Emails.

AI-based image generation enables the creation, optimization, and variation of images using artificial intelligence, such as for category images, icons, or product images. Users can choose from various AI systems that offer different presets. Downloaded images are available in the admin area under Media.

Within asset management, administrators now have the ability to track views and downloads of assets. Each asset has its own statistics editor, offering both a chart and list view. The list view provides detailed information on which user and client accessed the asset.

For downloadable products, the download can be accessed not only through the order history but also in a separate email after the purchase. This allows users to download the ordered products without logging into the portal. To use this feature, the corresponding email notification must be activated for the user. The associated system email can be customized if needed.

With the new release, any number of asset collections can be created and easily shown or hidden within the page using a simplified selection process. This allows for even more customization of the digital asset page structure. Additionally, it is possible to search for asset collections and their labels directly. The search function can optionally be deactivated by an administrator.

The user now sees clear call-to-action buttons in the shopping cart and wishlist that highlight pending process steps (e.g., approval requests, incomplete customizations). These buttons link to the next recommended action, helping the user complete processes more quickly.

If a product has ten or more items/variants, a search field will now automatically appear on the product detail page. This allows users to search and quickly find the different options and variants. This search field also appears on the budget page, in the multi-address and budget selection during checkout, as well as on individual customer checkout pages.

Dynamic content pools allow for the quick linking of entire categories with a template, so changes such as adding or removing images immediately affect the content pool and layout. Relevant information, such as the number of matching items and linked categories, is displayed.

With the release of 16.2, in addition to the existing icons, custom images can now be used for each category. The goal is to further personalize the portal and improve navigation and clarity for users.

The administrator now has the option to display additional attributes on the product detail page. With these new attributes, more information about individual products can be provided to portal users, allowing for a more personalized product presentation.
