# Release Notes History # vtenext Business 18.02 Release Note **USER PREFERENCES** **New Language Packs** Four new language packs have been added to the user preferences: French, Russian, Polish, and Spanish. **New NEXT Design Selectable Among Themes** The NEXT theme has been added alongside SOFTED in user preferences. This theme introduces a completely modernized design, aligned with current trends: - The module bar is now positioned on the left and can be minimized to icons. The last icon at the bottom combines all modules and areas. - The function bar (conversations, notifications, quick creation, etc.), positioned on the right, now includes links to the Process module and search management. **Process Module** This provides a list view of all processes in Vtenext. **Search** The global search and module-specific search are unified under one button.

This function allows for a shared outgoing mailbox for all users, without needing to configure it for each individual user. While the inbox for this mailbox will not be visible to users, they will still be able to use the shared email account as the sender when sending emails from the Messages module. [![image.png](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/scaled-1680-/9FVimage.png)](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/9FVimage.png) - **UITYPE10 Fields (relation fields) from Layout Editor:** The ability to add relation fields directly from the layout editor has been introduced.

Just provide basic instructions on what you want to communicate, choose the type of text the AI should write, and you’re all set. [![image.png](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/scaled-1680-/S3Eimage.png)](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/S3Eimage.png) This function is also available in the Conversations module. [![image.png](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/scaled-1680-/gg4image.png)](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/gg4image.png) From the Conversations module, it is also possible to use Klondie as a Co-Pilot in various modes: general inquiries (like CHAT GPT), internal inquiries, for example, which client has generated the most revenue (for which a specific model will need to be created), and inquiries based on manuals (for instance, asking Klondie how to convert a lead or create a quote, and it will provide an answer based on this online manual or other client-specific sites and manuals). [![image.png](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/scaled-1680-/zg2image.png)](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/zg2image.png) [![image.png](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/scaled-1680-/Bo4image.png)](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/Bo4image.png) [![image.png](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/scaled-1680-/9Uhimage.png)](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/9Uhimage.png) - **Icons on Modules (standard and new):** By running a script from code, you can easily add the desired icons to existing modules or to custom ones created through the interface. **OAuth2 Server:** Ability to configure vtenext as an authentication server. **Conditional Fields on the Business Portal:** Conditional fields are also available directly on the Client Portal and work exactly as they do in vte (with the same configuration done directly on the CRM admin side). **FIX:** - Improved compatibility with the Users Resources module (now, if invited to a calendar, they also receive the ICS invitation via email). - When the Mail Converter receives an email and links it to an existing ticket, it now allows for the initiation of a process. - When the Mail Converter links a customer's reply to a ticket, the Comments area now displays a few lines followed by a "view all" button that allows you to see the rest of the email text. This improves visibility and reduces scrolling in comments. - Added a relationship between the Visit Reports module and Documents. - Added the ability to insert Documents on the portal as External Links in addition to attachments. - The product price in Purchase Orders is now based on the Unit Cost field rather than the Unit Price field (this is the default in new installations, while in updated versions the old management remains and activation must be requested through the customer portal). - It is now possible to modify the parameters present in the headers of an external webservice (modify, add, delete). - OAuth2 fix for Office365/Outlook (prevents timeout of unnecessary folder synchronization). #### **New Features in Processes:** - **New Condition:** In processes, a new condition "has changed from" has been added in addition to the previously available "has changed to," as shown in the following image. [![image.png](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/scaled-1680-/6Tiimage.png)](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/6Tiimage.png) Naturally, when choosing this option, it will be possible to specify the value of the change, i.e., it has changed from value X to value Y. [![image.png](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/scaled-1680-/cwtimage.png)](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/cwtimage.png) - **Update Dynamic Forms:** In dynamic forms within processes, you can now update fields in related modules, including custom modules. The same procedure applies to the standard "Link Entities" function, allowing you to link entities through dynamic forms. [![image.png](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/scaled-1680-/2ljimage.png)](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/2ljimage.png) - **Zoom:** You can now zoom in and out on the process diagram by using the mouse scroll wheel (forward and backward). This feature is available not only in the settings but also in the "Process Chart" tab present in each module.

This function is useful, for example, to update the values of a specific support field and then use it in other fields. Instead of creating placeholder fields, you can use a hidden dynamic form that can be called from anywhere. [![image.png](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/scaled-1680-/9vtimage.png)](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/9vtimage.png) - **Add Comment to Ticket:** A new SDK function allows you to configure certain parameters to add comments to a ticket via a process.

This feature allows related module views to be propagated within a filter. For example, in a Company record, you can directly see all linked Contacts from the filter. This function is available for all CRM filters. [![image.png](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/CNKimage.png)](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/CNKimage.png) *In the filter settings, the Relations Navigator configuration is available* **Field Coloring in List View** From **SETTINGS > LIST VIEW COLORING**, the **Field Coloring** option is available.

This feature can only be enabled and configured via code. A pre-installed progress bar is available in the **Cases module**, which automatically calculates and updates the percentage of **Closed Subcases**. [![image.png](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/Xxpimage.png)](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/Xxpimage.png) *Detailed View of the Progress Bar Field* **Preinstalled Processes for Case Management** The update includes two new processes to automate the management of the Case module. [![image.png](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/mxpimage.png)](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/mxpimage.png) *"Set Alert Date" is the process that automatically sets the alert expiration date to 5 days from today's date (considering that the case is being created today) if left empty during the creation of a Case.* [![image.png](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/Ewfimage.png)](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/Ewfimage.png) *"Expiration Management" is the process that checks the dates, and one day before the expiration date, sets the case status to "expiring" or "expired."* **Field Mapping of the Products Block** In the configuration of the products block in the layout editor, it is possible to define the mapping of custom fields to inherit values from another module. For example, in the products block of quotes, if a "Partner Discount" field has been created and you want this field to be populated into a custom field named "First-Level Discount" in the products block of the sales order upon its generation, you will be able to manage this function through processes. The mapping is not applied upon saving (as with formulas) but is simply pre-filled during creation. It is automatically applied in the "Copy products block" action of the processes. **Invite Leads and Emails to the Calendar** This feature allows you to invite Leads and Emails directly to Calendar Events. The Leads and Emails will receive an email notification, which they can accept or decline, and their response will be visible directly in the calendar event.

This can be useful for analyzing outgoing email traffic. **Newsletters are excluded** from this log. The information stored in the table includes: sender, recipients, subject, send date, status, and error. There is no built-in retention logic, so it's up to those who enable this configuration to clear the table after completing their analysis. --- **Text Preview Limit in List View** If a text field in a module list filter exceeds 40 characters, the text is truncated and an icon appears that shows the full text on hover. To improve list performance, we’ve decided to also truncate the text inside the “tooltip” based on the value of the `performance.listview_moreinfodiv_lengthlimit` property, which by default is set to **100,000 characters**. --- **Business Unit in Newsletter Creation Wizard** For those who have activated the **Business Unit** module and have the `bu_mc` field in the Campaigns module, it is now possible to set this field directly within the **Newsletter creation wizard**.
