Remember to come back every Thursday or subscribe to “News from DirectScale” to get reminders about all the cool things we are delivering.

🎁 New Features and 🌟 Enhancements for All!

🌟 Improved! Data Editor Supports SQL [Corp Admin] Now the Data Editor supports SQL statements to search for and update data directly in the Database.

🌟 Improved! Visual Tree Usability on Mobile [Web Office] The mobile experience when scrolling around and zooming in on the Visual Tree has been improved. 

🌟 Improved! Logged In Clarification in MFC Rules [Retail Site] The Retail Site was not properly following the MFC rules for the Logged In User in favor of just following the rules for the Site Owner. Users without a webalias aren’t ever going to be a Site Owner, so we needed to clean up the rules so the Logged In user rules were being followed. 

🔮 Upcoming! Improved Unified Checkout Experience [Retail Site] Our teams are constantly working to improve the shopping experience and right now they are busy working on a whole new way to shop and checkout. Keep your eye on the release notes in the next few weeks to see what’s coming and how to take advantage of these new features.

🐞 Bugs That Have Been Squashed

🐞Fixed: Add Warehouse Button Not Working on Small Screens [Corp Admin] When the screen size was tablet view or smaller the Add Warehouse button wouldn’t execute. This has been fixed. 

🐞Fixed: GPG CVV Setting Broke [Corp Admin] The toggle on GPG to enable collecting the CVV was broken. This has been fixed so GPG payments can enable collection of the CVV now.

🐞Fixed: Safari Text Not Wrapping in New Top Header [Retail Site] The new Top Header feature had some text wrapping issues on Safari. This has been fixed so it looks consistent across all browsers. 

🐞Fixed: Avatar in Top Header Not Switching when Logged In [Retail Site] Another small bug in the Top Header where the avatar picture wasn’t updating from the webalias you are shopping with to who you actually log in as.

🐞Fixed: Updating Autoship Frequency Not Recognized [Retail Site] If the user simply wanted to update the frequency of their autoship, the page didn’t consider that a change, therefore the Save button remained disabled. Now this will trigger the Save button to activate and the user can save this one little change.

🐞Fixed: Updating a Pre-Order was Adding an Item [Web Office] When editing a party order in the Pre-Processing state the Checkout page was adding a new item. This has been fixed so party orders don’t unexpectedly get another item added to their order.
