We have added a new column on the table below called “Action Required” this shows several new status labels:
SETUP_REQUIRED - some setup will be required to use this element
NEW_PERMISSIONS - new permissions have been added
RECOMMEND_TRAINING - training is recommended - usually for new major features.
screen_changes - changes have been made to existing screens
This is to help highlight to you anything you need to ensure is set up for the day of release or in advance of this. We do still recommend that all of the release notes are read.
low impact medium impact high impact We are also adding a column for Potential Impact to you our customers, this is an estimation of any impact to your businesses the work may have. This is just offered as a guideline, as we appreciate you all use EPAPro slightly differently.
We recommend you check any Comms settings with the release notes, as whilst newly introduced comms will be listed in them, we may not mention if an existing comm needs to be enabled, which we assume may be on from previous releases.
What you have enabled can be seen via the System Management → Communications .

| feature | SETUP_REQUIRED screen_changes | Communication templates - custom footer | OverviewWe have added functionality to allow a custom email footer to be defined. Changes to FunctionalityNew functionality to allow a new custom email footer to be defined can be located from the Communication Templates header by clicking the Email Footer button. There is a toggle that allows the footer to be used/not used and a text area that allows for HTML or text to be entered (in the same way emails can be customised). We have also included a preview tab that allows the footer to be previewed. It is not, currently, possible to view any images included in the footer (or custom email setups), but they can be seen in any test email that is sent (for instance the Password Reset email). Please note that any images that are added to the footer must be accessible to email clients and therefore cannot be linked to your epaPRO environment. Impacted AreasCommunication Templates PermissionsNo new permissions. Any user that has the System Management -> Manage Communication Templates permission can edit the custom footer.
