Version 1.0.1924 (September 2024)
If an authorization fails, a user will now be prevented from fully completing the rest of the workflow until a successful authorization is submitted. Users that encounter failed authorizations will be provided with clear steps on how to resolve the problem.
Note that all tasks in a folder must be completed in order, so a failed authorization may now in turn prevent a user from completing subsequent tasks like uploading a document.
If a payment fails in a portal that has 3DS enabled, the notification window now properly states why the payment failed. (AUTH-1889)
Images placed in e-Forms are now restricted to a file size of 500kb. (AUTH-1875)
Users must now provide a reason when marking a Travel Company Authorization as Not Approved. (TA-221)
Version 1.0.1824 (September 2024)
Connected travel providers can now update or cancel Travel Company Authorizations through the Travel Company Authorizations API. For more information on how to update or cancel an authorization, refer to the API documentation.
When uploading Word documents containing embedded signer upload tags, the Sertifi system now properly creates an upload task for the assigned participant. (ESIG-2158)
Previously, admins attempting to view credit card information via the SOAP API call would be required to log in, and were then forwarded to a Next-Gen portal, leaving them unable to view the card information. This has been fixed, and admins are now redirected to the folder they were attempting to access. (ESIG-2602)
Users are now temporarily prevented from proceeding through a workflow if an authorization fails. Upon the failure of the authorization, the user will be notified about the failure and provided with suggested next steps. (AUTH-1839)
Previously, eForms were being moved to the Needs Attention status after receiving their first signature. This no longer occurs. eForms now remain in the Pending status until they are fully completed. (AUTH-1894)
Previously, a Fraud Score would appear in authorizations even if credit card details hadn't been fully submitted. This has been fixed. Fraud Scores now only appear if a user has successfully provided all of the required credit card details needed for a fraud analysis. (AUTH-1853)
Participant uploads are now linked by default to the authorization form or eForm in a folder. (AUTH-1851)

Styling updates were applied to the Send a Message button in the signing room. (ESIG-2829)
The Remove Participant function would sometimes take a few seconds to update the Folder Activity page, causing users to sometimes think their request wasn’t being processed. Updates have been applied to make it more clear when the system is working on removing the participant, and when the process is complete. (ESIG-2857)
Previously, the presence of two or more reference documents with the same title would cause a 500 error if a user attempted to download the documents. This has been fixed and no longer occurs. (ESIG-3003)
UI updates were applied to make it clear when a radio button has been selected. (ESIG-2989)
Version 1.0.1624 (August 2024)

The Download All Documents function now includes reference documents in the download file. (ESIG-2519)

UI updates were applied to clarify when a user no longer has access to a folder, or when they no longer have tasks to do in the folder. (ESIG-2739)
UI updates were applied to make it easier to sort folders in the View Folders window. (ESIG-2802, ESIG-2810)

The admin is instructed to contact their IT team in order to resolve the issue. (AUTH-1719)

Previously, users would encounter an error if attempting to create an admin in a new portal that wasn’t yet configured to use any of the available Sertifi workflows, such as e-Signatures or Payments. This has been fixed; users can now create admins even if a portal doesn’t have a workflow enabled. (ESIG-2693)
Previously, if a user was entering text in the search bar and briefly paused, the search results would load and the browser’s focus would shift out of the search box, requiring the user to click back into the search box in order to resume typing a search query. This no longer occurs. (ESIG-2667)

(ESIG-2391)

Previously, a bug would sometimes result in a participant upload request being required, even if it was left as optional by the folder owner.

This has been fixed and no longer occurs; a participant upload will only be required if explicitly marked as such. (ESIG-2345)
If an error occurred when accessing a payment, sometimes a user would be stuck on a blank window with no indication on how to proceed. This has been fixed; an error message now appears if one occurs when accessing a payment. (ESIG-2335)

Folders can no longer be deleted if they contain a payment in the Processing status. (ESIG-2263)
A user would sometimes access a folder containing an expired signature document with a linked payment; as the document was expired, they would be directed to the payment request with no instructions on how to proceed.

The ACH payment workflow has received multiple UI updates and improvements. (PAY-2771, PAY-3104, PAY-3360)

(AUTH-1010)
In the Next Gen API, a request for updating Recent Conversations would occasionally pull down incorrect or irrelevant folders. This has been fixed and no longer occurs. (AUTH-1058)

New: payments can now be left open and unassigned, so that any participant in the folder can fulfill the payment.

Previously, a participant added during folder setup would receive invitation and reminder emails, even if they were deleted before the folder was sent for signature.

Admins would sometimes receive a 400 error when attempting to refund a payment for a second time, or attempting to clone a refunded payment. This has been fixed. (ESIG-1683)
Users would sometimes receive a 500 error when attempting to add a new participant to a completed folder. This no longer occurs. (ESIG-1716)

If a document's name exceeds the allowed character length, users are now notified via an error message. (ESIG-1565)
When writing comments in folders, users can now read what they've written after writing it as the text is being posted to the comment section. Previously, written text would disappear while it was being posted to the folder comment section. (ESIG-1640)

For example, a 2nd-level signer would sometimes receive a reminder email before even the 1st-level signers had completed their signatures. This has been fixed; 2nd-level participants can only receive reminder emails after a certain amount of time has passed. (ESIG-801)
Version 0.03.24 (December 2022)
Admins can now view folders from the perspective of participants by accessing the Participant View function from the Folder Maintenance page. (EISG-535)

What's New
Super Admins now have access to an interface choice setting for their portal. This setting allows Super Admins to select the interface their portals will use - Classic, Next Generation, or Admin Choice. Admin Choice enables individual Admins to determine which interface they would like to use. This setting can be found in Account Settings.
Users can now directly access Next Generation support documentation from the Next Generation Portal by clicking on either the Help & Support icon in the upper right OR using the link in the "WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU" section.
