Logo Finder UI Refresh
The logo finder is a very popular feature for guiding your users to using the correct company logos. The logo finder has been around for a long time and had many improvements to the functionality, however, the design has not been updated for a while. This release brings a cleaner look to your logo finder and includes your branded button styles.
WCAG 2.1 Accessibility Compliance
We have identified and implemented several accessibility improvements in the masthead and CMS widgets. These improvements will ensure your Brandworkz system conforms to WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
Album Reporting Improvements
Currently, album reporting is limited to showing activity for registered users. However, albums are increasingly being shared externally with guest users. Therefore, we have updated our reporting dashboard for albums to make it easier to see how guest users are interacting with your albums.
Asset deduplication and workflow improvements
If you haven’t done so already, we highly recommend that you enable “Deduplicate identical assets” under the System Preferences.
With this feature enabled, when an admin or end-user uploads an already stored file in Brandworkz, it will automatically turn the newly uploaded version into a shortcut of the existing one and alert the uploading user to this.
The benefits of this are that you will not get multiple identical files in your system, and you also don’t have to tag them numerous times as the shortcut will automatically take on the tagging of the original. Furthermore, if an end-user searches for this asset, they will only see one result instead of multiple, identical results.
We have made various underlying improvements to the deduplication system and made it compatible with our workflow system.
Also, you can now make the workflow dashboard full width as opposed to a fixed width. Please contact support if you would like this implemented.
Select Metaset to show on login page
We've made it easier for you to add custom fields to the standard login form. Head on over to the newly named Profile and Registration page, previously known as Profile Page Settings, in the settings area.
From there, you can now select from any metaset set up to be a user metaset to output additional fields in the registration form.
While we were there, we added an extra option for the Terms and Conditions. Now you can choose if users have to acknowledge them on every login or just have a link to them.
Bug Fixes and small improvements
- An issue where albums containing both original and shortcut assets would appear empty when sharing for a second time.
- Changes to some properties on CMS pages would cause the page to lose its content.
- When loading an album with 50+ assets into the Temporary Selection, it would only load the first 50 assets. If assets were then added or removed from the selection and the selection resaved, it would only save the first 50 assets.
- Pasting assets from one folder to another could cause errors in some instances.
- Inability to upload specific fonts
- There was an issue moving assets if the folder they were in had no subfolders and was part of the featured navigation. This resulted in the "move asset to" dropdown selector not returning results, meaning you could not move the assets.
- When clicking into some areas from the featured navigation, the side navigation would load showing all folders in the system instead of just the subfolders of the area you clicked into.
As part of our improved prioritisation process, our minor releases (8.x.x), such as this one, focus on addressing minor improvements and ideas with a significant impact on the majority of our clients. These releases will primarily be based on the feedback and insights we receive on the Product Portal, which you can access from your admin settings area. Please let us know what is important to you via the Portal to ensure we release features that you value! Our more significant releases (8.x) will continue to focus on larger pieces of functionality and significant improvements to the technology stack. We are also currently working on something very exciting concerning managing your brand elements centrally and ensuring brand consistency in your documents. We will reveal more soon.
