Organizing Templates in Email Editor

In the template editor, added a new feature that enables organizing templates through folders. This makes it easier to manage email templates.

By default, all templates are initially placed in the root folder, and the count of templates in the folder is displayed. To organize the templates, users can create folders under the Root folder and add the templates. Users can create a hierarchy of folders by creating a folder under another folder.

 

The newly added folder will appear alphabetically, and users can rename it.  Clicking on a folder reveals the templates it contains on the right panel within the template editor. Templates can be moved between folders. When templates are moved or deleted from the folder, the template count adjusts accordingly reflecting the number of templates within each folder. 

 

Implemented Search and Sorting Functionality

Users can use the search box to conduct searches. When performing a search, it scans the template name through not only the currently opened folder but all folders. A new column, 'Folder Name,' has been added on the right panel. This column indicates the folder where each template resides enabling users to find the folder location of each template in search results. Users can click on any column header to sort in ascending or descending order based on the column values.

Delete Functionality

Users are prevented from deleting a folder with templates; an error message is displayed when attempting to delete a folder containing a template. To delete a folder all the templates either have to be moved to a different folder or deleted. Deleting a blank folder prompts a confirmation message, and the folder is deleted when confirmed.

Accessibility Improvements 

Scoreboards Affiliation Module: Added Alt Text Field for Images

In enhancing accessibility, an "Alt Text" label option was integrated into the image upload process within the Scoreboards Affiliation module. This ensures that every uploaded image includes the necessary Alt Text label. Users are prompted to provide Alt Text information during image upload with the flexibility to edit these details as needed. This ensures that Alt Text remains an editable component aligning with WCAG guidelines.

Field Instruction Messages

For inline field instruction notifications, added an "aria-describedby" attribute to the form control. This is particularly useful for scenarios such as multi-select fields with instructions to use "ctrl or shift" or the primary email field when a verification email is also requested.

Dropdown Menu Navigation

Ensured the accessibility and usability of a dropdown menu according to the WAI-ARIA Combobox Keyboard Interaction. Updated proper labeling, roles, and attributes to make the dropdown understandable and navigable for users relying on screen readers or keyboard navigation. The goal is to create an inclusive design that accommodates various user needs and interactions.

Attendee List Form Control

The "Attendee list" form control lacked an accessible name as its <label> element was hidden making it invisible to assistive technologies and hindering the conveyance of the control's purpose to users relying on such technologies.

Updated the system and the form control can now be labeled ensuring the visible label text.

Unsubscribe links in emails led to a 404 page not found error, despite the token URL within the link being functional when decoded separately. Clicking on the complete link in the email triggered the 404 error.

Verified consistent and accurate redirection of email URLs including those from various sources and with appended tokens. Confirmed the proper functionality of links attached to text, buttons, and images, as well as URLs from user input, system tokens, user-created tokens, system fields, and email list merge files.
