What's New in 3.4.7?
Features & Improvements
New capabilities that give administrators greater control over list configuration, expand workspace flexibility, and make CIPO more accessible and inclusive for every user on the team.
Fixes & Reliability updates
Bug fixes and stability improvements to ensure consistent performance, accuracy, and reliability across the platform.
Contextual Lists: Administrators can now create contextual lists that display only the dropdown values relevant to a user’s current context, such as a specific module, Program, Project, Contract, or Workflow Group. By presenting only applicable options, Contextual Lists simplify data entry, reduce visual clutter, minimize selection errors, and help ensure users choose the correct values every time.
Collapsible Navigation Menu: The navigation menu can now be collapsed to an icon-only view, providing a cleaner interface and maximizing available workspace. This enhancement gives users more screen real estate when working with large documents, drawings, dashboards, or data-intensive pages, while maintaining quick access to navigation with a single click.
- UI Accessibility Improvements: CIPO now includes enhanced accessibility features aligned with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 to help create a more inclusive user experience. Users can access these settings by selecting Accessibility from their profile menu, where they can customize text size, enable a dyslexia-friendly font, adjust contrast settings (including inverted colors), and activate a reading guide to improve focus while navigating on-screen content.
- Optional Notifications When Undoing a Transition: Notifications are now optional when undoing a transition, giving users more control over communication during workflow management.
- New Date Format Option: A yyyy/MM/dd date format option has been added to Tenant Settings for international teams that require this display.
- SOV Start Screen Edits in Approved State: Users can now update user-defined fields on the SOV Start Screen even when an SOV is already in an Approved state with associated payments.
- Renamed Relationship Field Labels: Relationship field labels in module configuration have been renamed for improved clarity.
- Progress Payment Description Reference Field: A Description reference field setting has been added to the Progress Payment module, such as Pay Period.
- Optional Negative Operator for Retention Value: The negative operator for retention value in Pay Request Configuration is now optional, with default behavior remaining negative.
- Automatic Preset Number Updates: Preset numbers are now automatically updated when the numbering configuration is changed.
- Preferred Value Attachment in Default Print Output: Preferred Value attachments are now included in the default print output.
- CIPO AI Icon Visibility: The CIPO AI icon is now visible on all dialogs on screen sizes medium and larger.
Enhanced Roles Module Experience: The Roles module has been redesigned with CIPO’s modern user interface, providing a more intuitive and consistent experience that aligns with the Users module and other System Administration pages. The updated layout improves usability, simplifies role management, and streamlines navigation for administrators.
