Enhancements
Email Marketing
Updated Email Editor

We are excited to announce that the upgrade for the Email Editor within Email Marketing is available to our users. The updated Email Editor enhances the User Experience when editing the content of your email communications.

Key Updates:

Intuitive Drag-and-Drop Interface:   The user-friendly drag-and-drop interface makes creating attractive emails easier than ever. Effortlessly arrange content blocks, images, buttons, and more.

Update to the Popup Style Bar: Users will notice that the Pop-up Style Bar no longer scrolls on the screen when they scroll through the content, allowing them to access the content that is initially hidden behind the style bar.

Adjustable Zoom Level: The editor now has a zoom drop-down which will allow users to zoom out and see more of the content of the message without having to scroll up and down.

Update to Complex Elements: Complex Elements from the previous editor are now Favorite Blocks. All the saved Complex Elements are available after the upgrade is completed on your site as Favorite Blocks. These blocks can be inserted as a new block of content within your email.

  • Please note: Favorite Blocks cannot be inserted into the middle of an existing block. If the content of your favorite block needs to be inserted in the middle of an existing block there are two ways to accomplish this. Option 1 is to split the existing block into multiple blocks and then insert your favorite block between them. Option 2 is inserting your favorite block and then copying the content from your favorite block into your existing block and then deleting the favorite block from your template.

Update to the Paste Functionality: The paste functionality in the editor will now automatically paste as plain text. This update will prevent special code coming from external editors from being included in the email content and potentially causing issues. This does however mean that users will need to format the content in the email editor once it has been pasted. This includes adding links, bold-facing text, and italicizing text.

Email Marketing
Updated the Prioritized Segmented Campaign Send process ( Reference IDs: 222504, 200723, 210447, 223660, 225803)

We have updated the Prioritized Segmented Campaign Send process for all campaign types to ensure that the higher-priority segments' send process is complete before the subsequent priority segments' send process begins. Prior to this update, the system would pick up all segments that were queued at the same time but only processed them one at a time. With this change, our users will see a similar outcome, but only one segment at a time will be picked up for processing.

Updated Process

The Prioritized Segmented Campaign sends one segment at a time to the email queues for processing. It starts with Priority 1 and waits for it to complete before moving on to the next priority. This process is repeated for each scheduled segment.

For example, if three segments are scheduled to be sent simultaneously:

  • Segment 1 is processed first.

  • Segments 2 and 3 wait until Segment 1 is completed.

  • Segment 2 is processed after Segment 1.

  • Segment 3 waits until Segment 2 is completed.

  • Segment 3 is processed after Segment 2.

Note:   These changes do not affect non-prioritized Segmented, General, and A/B campaigns. The non-prioritized campaign types will continue to operate as usual.

Foundation
Admin Access Management

To enhance admin access management, created data export reports for the current admin access to all pages in the site map.

The Admin status data export reports will have the following columns:

Member ID, Constituent ID, First Name, Last Name, Email ID, Assigned Admin Right, Date of Assignment, and Last Logged-in date

Foundation
Updated Event Registration, Commerce, and Donation Reports

Added the Member ID column to the Event Registration, Commerce, and Donation Reports.

Accessibility Improvements
Ambassador Portal Accessibility

Updated the system to ensure established design compliance for the tabs and tabs panel, menu and menu items, buttons, and pagination.

Tabs and Tabs Panel
  • Enabled the tabs to be recognized as a group: This facilitates the understanding of the relationship between tabs by assistive technologies.

  • Added accessible label: The label helps users understand the purpose of the tab list. This label describes the content or function of the tab list.

  • Made each tab a focusable element: This ensures that each tab is identified as a tab control. Users will be able to navigate and select tabs using standard keyboard controls.

  • Provided a visual and programmatic indicator: This indicator shows which tab is currently active or selected, improving the user experience and ensuring that assistive technologies convey this information accurately.

  • Assigned a role to the content panel associated with a tab: This step ensures that the content panel is recognized as the area where tab-specific content is displayed, aiding in navigation and comprehension.

  • Established a clear relationship between a tab and its associated content panel: This enables users and assistive technologies to understand which tab controls which content.

  • Enabled LEFT ARROW and RIGHT ARROW for tab navigation, instead of TAB: Implementing this keyboard navigation behavior ensures that users can navigate between tabs using arrow keys, while the Tab key is used to navigate within the content of the active tab, thus improving usability and accessibility.

Button Element
  • Identified the element as a button: Identifying the element as a button provides clear interaction cues to all users, making it evident that it can be clicked or activated.

  • Assigned and accessible name: Assigning an accessible name ensures that users, including those with disabilities, can understand the purpose of the button without relying solely on visual cues.

  • Added Tooltip State Indication: The use of tooltip indication helps users discern whether the tooltip content is currently hidden or visible, contributing to a more intuitive user experience.

  • Enabled Polite Announcements: This ensures that screen readers politely announce the tooltip's expansion, avoiding interruptions and providing timely information to users.

Pagination
  • Enabled the element to be recognized as a group: By enabling the element to be recognized as a group that contains pagination controls, indicated that these controls are related and form a group. This helps assistive technologies and users understand the structure and purpose of these controls.

  • Provided an accessible name for the Pagination Group: By adding an accessible name, such as "pagination," a clear label for the group of pagination controls is provided. This label helps users understand the function of these controls without relying solely on visual cues.

Forms Accessibility Enhancement
Informing Users of Invalid Form Controls

Enhanced the system to enable assistive technology to detect and alert users about invalid input issues, reading "invalid entry" as part of the field description.

Date Picker Accessibility Enhancement
Updated Date Picker interface
  • Streamlined Interface: Removed the outer <table> element of the Date Picker to simplify the interface, making it more straightforward and easier to interact with.

  • Enhanced Accessibility: Included proper identification of the dialog, better modal behavior, accessible naming, and announcements of changes in the month/year.

  • Improved Usability: Users can seamlessly navigate and interact with the Date Picker using assistive technologies or keyboard controls. Clear identification of buttons and grid cells, along with accessible labels.

  • Clarity and Efficiency: Removed unnecessary elements nested in the calendar grid cells to simplify the interface and enhance efficiency.

Improvements Made for Recurring Payment Gateway Notifications

Updates:

  1. Encompass support can now disable the recurring payment notifications so that only “twice a year” and “annual” recurring payment options will be required. Please contact support if you would like to make monthly and quarterly recurring payment notifications optional. Changes were also made to the default text to better fit the optional scenario of the recurring payment changes.

  2. On the billing form disabled the editable field under the Notification option where the users could enter the number of days for the email notification to be sent prior to billing. According to Master Card recurring payment standards, the email notification will be sent 7 days prior to the billing by default.

  3. On the Giving form, a check box for the notifications to be sent is set and is selected by default and the donors are provided with the option to uncheck the box.

  4. On the billing form reworded the field name Email address to notify/remind to Email address used for notification.

When a draft was deleted using the Gear menu (soft delete) option in the Drafts tab, the users were unable to delete the associated sender. This was because the associated draft was not permanently removed from the system, and the users could not find the associated draft as the draft was deleted from the tab.

Now, the system has the Deleted Drafts tab where the soft deleted drafts are stored. The users can find the associated draft in the Deleted Draft tab, delete the associated draft, and then delete the sender from the Sender Identities page.

On the Giving page, the system was displaying the sum of all the donations by a member instead of the latest donation amount made by the member. This was due to the Donor Roll data being captured based on the member ID and not based on the transactions.

Users can view the amount of each donation, filter the amount by the designations, and export the donor roll data.
