This release brings improvements to key areas like messages, cost calculation, and search, along with navigation enhancements that make daily work smoother.

Messages & Communication

  • Redesigned message details

The message details page now shows more information at a glance with a clearer layout, making it easier to work with message threads and attachments.

Cost Calculation & Orders

  • Select price list items in cost calculator

You can now pick items directly from price lists when adding new lines. This speeds up quoting and keeps pricing consistent.

  • Delivery date back in orders overview

The delivery date column has been restored to the orders list.

Navigation & Data Entry

  • Navigate to all linked objects from order registrations

Order registration pages now show navigation buttons for all linked objects (projects, warehousing, etc.) — not just port call files. Companies are excluded since they're accessible elsewhere.

  • Decimal field precision control

Decimal fields now support a configurable maximum number of decimal places. Admins can set this per field to enforce rounding rules and keep data entry clean.

Search & Filtering

  • Improved advanced search

The advanced search UI has been reworked to support more filter options and offer a better experience. Building complex queries is now easier and the layout adapts better to different screens.

Templating

  • New split function

The templating engine now includes a split function for breaking strings into parts based on a delimiter. Useful for parsing codes, tags or concatenated values.
