Choose what a duplicate copies

New Features

Choose what a duplicate copies When you duplicate a record, you now decide per related object whether it becomes a new copy or stays linked to the existing one. The dialog shows how many fields are selected for each object, and marks the ones that can only be copied or only linked.

Improvements

Faster PDF uploads A PDF is available the moment you upload it. The optimisation runs in the background, so you can carry on working.

More operators in business logic Business logic conditions gained "Does not equal" for text values and "Is empty" for lists, so tariff and invoicing rules can be written more directly.

Clear outcomes from subscription actions Automated actions — notifications, exports, distributions, imports and invoice flow executions — report a specific outcome with a reason, so you can see at a glance what ran and what needs attention.

More accurate ship types from AIS Ship types derived from AIS follow the general category the AIS message actually carries, which keeps vessel classifications in line with the source data.
