Job Name now shows up in the printbuyer's 'Orders Needing Management Approval' tab
The orders within the printbuyer's 'Orders Needing Management Approval' tab now shows the Job Name instead of the order form name for orders within this tab. We found what was causing that error, and updated the way the system provides the name of the order within 'Orders Needing Management Approval'.

-
Orders Below Zero Inventory
It was reported that print buyers were able to place orders that would bring inventory below zero, even though the "Allow orders when inventory on hand is less than or equal to zero" option was turned off. We found what was causing that error, and updated the way the system tests for that.
-
Slow Load Times, Home Page Callout Box Settings
The Control Center's "Home Page Callout Boxes" page was loading very slowly. We discovered this was related to the way the preview was loading for the Product Spotlight callout box, and adjusted it.
-
Negative inventory, used to be 0
After the inventory update, inventory levels were being reported as negative values when users placed orders that would push inventory below zero, when previously it would simply report inventory as zero. We've updated the system to return to showing zero rather than negative inventory.

White footer text washed out
Users choosing a white footer for their website found that the text was difficult to read because it retained the off-white color used on the darker backgrounds. We have now updated this so that the text on a white footer is darker.

The Description field on the SEO settings for Featured Pages was adding extra spaces in the beginning and ending of the description. We found what was causing those extra spaces and updated it so that would no longer happen.

System not recognizing shipping choice sometimes
We found that when the system loads a default shipping option, like a pickup location, the system would incorrectly indicate that no shipping address was chosen when the user attempted to submit their order. We found what was causting that error and have resolved it.

Printshops with numerals in their web address were unable to save tracking numbers added in the order detail page of the Workflow section. We found what was causing that and have resolved it.

The settings page for the Home Page Callout Boxes was loading very slowly for several of our responsive designs. We updated the code that was causing that, which dramatically improved the load times.

Released: 01/11/2021
Version: 3.7.42
Updated
