What’s New?
Payments Integrated in Manager
All Payments functionality is now built directly into the Manager experience, so users no longer need to navigate to the separate Payments product.
Feature Overview:
Users can access the full Payments toolset inside Suite Manager. This consolidates workflows and removes the need to switch products to complete payment-related tasks.
Benefits:
- Single Experience: Payments tasks can be completed without leaving Manager.
- Less Context Switching: Eliminates the extra step of opening the standalone Payments product.
Community Landing Page / Community Detail Page Improvements
The Community Landing Page and Community Detail Page now include ongoing improvements through newly added modules.
Feature Overview:
Each new module added to the Community Detail Page is part of this release, enhancing the community landing/detail experience and making key information easier to access in one place. As part of this update, we introduced the new Metrics Tab, which includes blocks with item counters (Violations, ARCs, Work Orders, Invoices, Delinquencies) that highlight items requiring accelerated or urgent action from CAMs. Clicking any of these counters takes users directly to the filtered list view of those items, enabling immediate action.
The Metrics Tab also includes two additional sections: one displaying the list of active standalone steps related to the community, and another showing Violations or Work Orders that have moved to Past Due.
Benefits:
- Richer Community View: More information and tools surfaced directly on the landing/detail pages.
- Better Navigation: Modules bring frequently used community context closer to the user.
Improvements related to Step Projects were introduced. From now on, the search bar allows users to search for Step Projects, and it is now possible to add Related Links to Step Projects, just as it already works for regular Steps.
Feature Overview:
Users can now:
- Search for Projects directly within Suite Manager.
- Add Related Links to Projects (previously only supported for Steps).
This makes it easier to connect supporting content and cross-reference work.
Benefits:
- Faster Project Discovery: Find projects quickly via search.
- Stronger Context Linking: Related links extend knowledge and references beyond Steps into Projects.
