2023 Release Notes - New Product Features, Bug Fixes, and Improvements

May

05/08/23

What's New

• General
  • Users that manage their Billing through Ascent360's Billing Portal can now authorize multiple accounts within the same CDP to access the Billing Dashboard. Previously, only one user from each CDP was authorized to make billing changes, but this limit has been removed. If you would like to authorize one or more additional users in your CDP to make billing changes, please contact support@ascent360.com.

Bug Fixes

• Landing Pages
  • There was an issue with font sizing where the user's font size was overridden by a global setting, causing font sizes to be misrepresented in the Landing Page Designer. This has been fixed; users who designate a font size will have that choice reflected on the live form. Any users with existing Landing Pages may want to verify that the current font size on their form is correct.

03/06/23

What's New

• All Campaigns Page
  • The Campaigns Page now has a re-imagined structure to better serve the needs of our users. Rather than separating campaigns into "Categorized" and "Ad hoc" tabs on this page, we have restructured the page to show the same dataset in a layered "Results" view and flattened "Table View." Campaigns that were both traditionally categorized and ad hoc now appear in both tabs. The Table View tab allows for more direct data comparison and downloading into an Excel file, while the Results tab allows for easier campaign management and results analysis. 
  • Various styling changes

• Fix for the Page Scrape URL feature on the Email Designer; this feature would fail silently if the URL or HTML input failed to validate.
