Feature release highlights this month
This month's updates include:
Tasks management
  • You can now manage your checklists more easily and save time by customizing your Hierarchy view to see the columns you need. Simply select the columns you want to see, including custom columns, and save that view to return to it at any time.  
  • Task and sub-task statuses can now be automated, eliminating the need to manually update subtasks when monitoring transactions. For example:
    • When a parent task is completed, the status of all corresponding subtasks can be automatically updated.
    • When a new sub-task is added, the status of the corresponding parent task is automatically changed to 'In Progress'. When all approval checkboxes are ticked, the status can be automatically updated.
