Reworked Metrics Menu

Over the last year we have focused on upgrading the metrics page, especially with maps and Genmappers.

• In v1.50 we released a dynamic genmapper
• In v1.52 we built the new dynamic Maps
• In v1.65 we released simple charts
• In v1.65 we adapted the new genmapper to the personal metrics
• In v1.67 we adapted the maps to the personal metrics

These new metrics are created to work with any record type, be it Contacts, Groups or your own custom record types.
Now instead of needing a separate page for Contacts Genmapper, and Groups Genmapper, they are accessed from one place.
We simplified the metrics menu by removing the duplicate and unused pages. Our metrics menu now looks like:

Default Reply To On Email Notifications

When notifications are sent out, by default they come from a "[email protected]" address. Sometimes users will reply to this email to provide an update on a contact and their reply might not be received.
This feature lets you specify what email address those replies get sent to. You'll find it in the WP Admin > Settings (D.T)

SSO Login: Setting to persist login

If you have the D.T SSO login enabled, this feature lets you choose how long users should stay logged in for before they need to enter their password in again. Shorter is better for more secure environments, logger is better for ease of access when using D.T.
You'll find this setting in WP Admin > Settings (D.T) > SSO

Genmapper upgrades

Now we can add status colors to the genmapper from the genmapper layers options. For contacts, this will be "Contact Status".

We can also choose fields to add, like faith milestones:

Workflow action: Comment tokens

Use workflows to set comments on contacts and groups using placeholder or tokens that will get replaced with values from the record.

Here let's ask the Assigned To user a question, {assigned_to} and {groups} will be replaced with the contact's values.

When the workflow is triggered, we will get:

Private Contacts

When creating a contact you have the choice to use a standard contact which is visible by you and admin roles, or a private contact which only you can see.
In general teams only use standard contacts and run into issue when a user accidentally creates a private contact.
Because, on new setups, the private contacts will not be enabled by default. They can be enabled in the WP Admin > Settings (D.T) > Contact Preferences

Custom location fields

Create a custom location field from the Customizations (D.T) Admin section to track more locations.
This enables the default location grid field. Custom locations fields with geolocating with Mapbox or Google is in the works.
