- Report scheduler - we have fixed a bug in the Sales Breakdown report, where the displayed data was not being aggregated as expected.
COMING SOON: Multi factor authentication with SMS
We have updated our multi factor authentication to include SMS.
From now on, you can make your account more secure by adding SMS as a second step for login authentication.
To set up this new method, go to:
Back Office > profile page > go to the section: multi factor authentication and add a mobile phone number > choose “SMS” as the preferred method of receiving your unique code.
Once this is completed, a code will be sent to your device via SMS, which you will need to enter into the multi factor authentication screen to confirm the new settings.
This new feature will be launched on February 28, 2023.
COMING SOON: App suspension mode
We will soon have "App Suspension" mode live for apps, starting with the Sage Business integration and then followed by the Xero integration.
This upcoming release will allow apps to be placed in "App Suspension" mode when subscription payments fail, helping customers preserve their existing app configurations rather than forcing an auto-uninstall, which historically removes all of the app's settings.
