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 .

Booking attendees - allow attendees to just be notified and not invited | FEATURE | recommend training | Planning Meeting - Attendees to have a toggle to be notified only | OverviewPlanning meeting screens have been updated to allow attendees to be added without receiving invite information. Changes to FunctionalityTwo new communications have been created to run in tandem with the existing “Planning → Meeting Invitation” and “Planning → Meeting Rescheduled” notifications - “Planning → Meeting Schedule Info” and “Planning → Meeting Reschedule Info”. These new communications are designed to replicate the existing communications, minus attendance information (such as remote meeting join links, ICS attachments, etc.). The attendee sections of the following screens have been updated to contain a new “Is Invited” flag:
When an attendee is added via either of these methods, they are added with the new “Is Invited” switch set to “on” - saving the meeting with this switch enabled will behave the same before, adding the attendee to any scheduled teams meeting (if enabled), and sending out the Planning → Meeting Invitation communication. Saving an attendee without this switch enabled will not add the attendee to any scheduled teams meeting (if enabled), and will send the Planning → Meeting Schedule Info communication instead.

| Provider - Error on save | OverviewAn issue in the Forecasting area caused an error message to appear when invalid input, such as an incorrect telephone number, was entered and saved. This issue has been resolved to ensure smooth saving and appropriate field-specific error handling. Changes to FunctionalityPreviously, entering and saving an invalid value in the Forecasting area, like an incorrect phone number, would trigger a generic error message that interrupted the process. Now, the Forecasting area handles invalid inputs properly by displaying specific error messages for fields that need adjustment. This prevents unexpected errors and improves the user experience.
