March Patch Notes 2024

Version: 2.0.0.638 - Deploying on Tuesday 2nd April

User Experience Improvements

We received feedback regarding multiple fields within the application displaying default values that users were having to manually go into and delete or replace before saving (For example, when creating some reports 'Report Name' was the default title and was present in the text field). We have altered multiple fields within the application to instead display 'Placeholder' text so that users no longer have to go into a text box and delete a default value before adding their own (Using the same example as previous, Report Name will still display in the text box, but as background placeholder text that simply shows up as guidance for what can go in the field, and does not have to be deleted or overwritten).

Event Log:

Event Log Body Maps default text has been changed to placeholder text.

Block Reporting:

When creating a new Block Report, the Name field default text has been changed to placeholder text. Will now also prompt user to enter a report name if not entered.

When adding Datasets, Dataset Name default text "Dataset 1" is now a placeholder. Placeholder wording will depend on system label for Dataset. Dataset name will still be saved as the default if not changed. 

Staff Record:

- Contacts Tab - Removed unnecessary First Name and Surname default text when adding new contact.

Student Record:

- Benefits Tab - When adding new Benefit Entries, Amount field default zero is now a placeholder. Will still be saved as 0 if not entered to prevent potential null issues.

- External Tab - When adding new funding records via 'Add Funding' button, Full fee for year, Element 1, 2 ,3 & Agreed Equipment Cost fields default zeroes are now placeholders. Will be still saved as 0 if not entered to prevent potential null issues.

- Personal Tab - Changed default zeroes to placeholders on Exemption Number, HC2 Exemption Number, Residential Weeks and Nights/Wk, Shoe (Left), Shoe (Right), Height, Weight & Heart Rate fields when adding a new student

- Destination Tab - When adding new destination records via 'Add Post College Destination' button, the Amount & Collection Period fields default zeroes are now placeholders. Will still be saved as 0 if not entered to prevent potential null issues. Field types changed to number for up/down arrows.

- Daily Tab - Changed default zeroes to placeholders on Contract Hours and Days Absent to Report when adding a new student.

Administration:

Care Statements - Add New Question - "Enter question text" default text is now a placeholder. 

Care Plan:

"Custom statement" default text when adding a custom statement is now a placeholder. 

Session Manager:

When creating sessions, the Weekly Recurrence field default value '1' is now a placeholder. To prevent issues, if this is not changed, sessions will still be created with the default value of '1'. 

We are constantly looking to improve the user experience within Databridge so suggestions are always welcome. We believe we have covered the bulk of the fields that require swapping to placeholder values but if any have been missed please do let us know!
