New Release Summary - 10th September 2019

The newest updates available on your platform are below. Click on the title of each Feature to read more. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Databases

A new option available within your Databases module allows you to display items from your Resources module within records. On the record, users will be able to browse through their Resources module and select Resources that will then be displayed in that record. You can use this to display creative assets needed for a creative brief or to include a specific report relating to a compliance action item. 

Resources Lookup field in Databases

Currently the Lookup field type allows you to select users or records from other databases within a record. With this new functionality, users can also choose the Resources module as a selection option.

Once enabled, the user will be able to browse through all Resources (according to existing Resource permissions) whilst on the record and select the files that will be viewed within that record. This ensures that the files within the record are subject to the same permissions as in the Resources module and that the file's version will always remain updated with any changes. 

As part of this functionality, a number of smaller features have been added:

• Enable Bypass Resource permissions so any user (with Record permission) can view the Info Preview page or Download the Resource 
• Auto-Relate the Resources selected within the field with the Record they're selected in
• Select Multiple Resources at once from multiple Folders
• Bulk Download all the selected Resources using the upgraded Bulk Download view
• Select this field as the Record Thumbnail, and if Multiple is enabled the user can select which of the selected Resources will be the thumbnail.
