In the past two weeks we have made several enhancements/bug fixes. Please see below for a list of the most important ones. Note that these will take effect on Wednesday, May 30th, 2012, 8:30PM EST.  

We have thoroughly tested these new enhancements and fixes to ensure high quality before allowing them into production. In case you notice any disruptions, please let us know and we will take fast, appropriate action. Thank you!

 

Enterprise

  • Users will now see a "Committed Successfully" message when completing an Action item and the referred page was Enterprise Member Landing / Action items
  • The Enterprise Email Template list has been put in ascending order.
  • We have added new dynamic fields to the dynamic navigations:
    • Links to the "Action Items", "My Proposals"
    • This also shows up in WebStorm setup navigation as well. 
  • There was an issue with the member landing page not working in community dynamic navigation - this is now fixed. 
  • A Brightidea default favicon has been added to all system pages. 
  • Enterprise Login History is now able to be reported on farther than 30 days prior. 
    • Date range is also accommodated to get any specific time frames. 

WebStorm

  • We made various SOLR fixes to auto suggest and search for tagging ideas.
  • We fixed an issue with idea edit history option was formatting the edit idea page incorrectly.
  • Error messages enhancement:
    • If an idea has been hidden or deleted - the end user will receive an error message that says "You are not authorized to view this idea "
      • WebStorm & System administrators will access the idea fine, but end users will be prompted with that message.
    • If a user accesses an idea which has a bad or missing ID in the URL, the end user or administrator will receive an error message that says "An idea with this ID does not exist".
  • BETA: “Enable Submit Idea by Email” to allow users to submit ideas and comments via email. When enabled, a “Mail” tab will appear in WebStorm setup (only in WebStorm level, not Enterprise)

    • For Idea Submission
      • Admins may define “mailboxes,” an email address and idea category
      • Emails to the defined address will submit an idea to that category with the following information:
        • The sender’s email address is idea submitter
        • The email subject line is the idea title
        • The email body is the idea description
        • NOTE: An error message will be sent to the user if he/she attempts to email an invalid address or does not include a title/description

    • Comment Submission
      • Admins may enable comments via email and define the email domain
      • Comment notification emails will be sent from the defined email domain

      • Users will then receive an email update that a comment has been made on their idea, or that another user has replied to their comment
      • They may then send an email reply with their own comment
      • NOTE: An error message will be sent to the user if he/she attempts to email an invalid address or does not include a title/description
    • NOTE: For security purposes, we have two restrictions that may occur that do NOT send an email notification:
      • Forged request
      • Too many ideas submitted from a single user in a short timeframe
        • Rate limit of 20 emails in 5 minutes for both Ideas and Comments
