Selective Comparison Mode for the Online Approval Tool

When a Revision 2 or higher approval takes place, the latest revision of the artwork will be loaded first in the Online Approval Tool. This swaps the previous behavior where the artwork from the previous approval round was initially presented.   

From the Summary menu, the user may now instigate a comparison session with any previous revision, not just it's immediate predecessor.

Simply select the version you wish to compare to and select the Compare button. 

Transfer Upcoming Tasks

The Transfer Task option has been updated so that in addition to tasks which have already started, upcoming tasks can also be transferred as well. When selecting upcoming tasks, the user is able to choose a date range based on the Projected Finish Date of the task.

Retrospective Group Activity Brief Edit 

Once a Group Activity Brief has been completed, until it is sent on approval, it is now possible to retrospectively edit it. This addresses an outstanding issue where it was not possible to amend Artwork Instructions or Due Date after submission. 

Additionally, it is now possible to "Ungroup" siblings which were previously grouped together.

Absence Management User Selection Filters

A new organisational level feature has been added to allow administrators to decide if users of their site are able to assign work during an absence to any member of the organisation, or only to users with the same role.
