Encompass

New Admin "Error Resolution" page 

When activated, this new page can be found by hovering over the Gold Key icon in the top right of the application. It will provide Admins with detailed information regarding failed Commerce transactions, as well as a way of extracting that information from the system to provide to your payment gateway for quicker error resolution on their side.

Note: At this time, the Admin Error Resolution Page is only available to our customers who use Payflow Pro as their payment gateway.

A new support page has been added for this feature, and more detailed information can be found here.

Scoreboards

Breakpoint Maps 

In addition to creating gradient maps, customers now have the ability to create Breakpoint Maps. These provide customers with more flexibility when creating the maps they need. Whereas gradient maps choose the color gradient based off of the scale you decide to use, the Breakpoint map provides the admin with full control over where to add breakpoints and the color that each group should represent on the map (example below).

Customers can use this to either create their own custom gradient, or to create a map using their own school colors. The addition of a Legend also allows end users to easily understand what each color represents.

Tokens, tokens, tokens

##Full Name## system token has been designed to concatenate values from your First and Last Name fields and if you happen to create your own field using this token, we will prefer the computed field over that. (ENC-37768)

Sender Identities

Provided additional validation around the format of a Sender Identities From Email Address value.   (ENC-37619)

Gradient Maps

Issue has been fixed where gradient maps displayed no visible color for low numbers when using donor count. This update more accurately displays different gradients within a map. This is now done by selecting a gradient scale within the configuration (see below). The scale ranges from 3 to 100 depending on how many gradients you would like to see. (ENC-37046)

Encompass

Dual Dropdown Values Error

New error message will display when there are an unequal amount of custom database values for each display option. Also, if any white space exists after the custom db values, the code should now ignore this and let the user move to the next step. (ENC-37651)
