Product Release:  New Admin Console is out and about!

August 19, 2019

We’ve been working hard behind the scenes on our new Admin Console, and we’re happy to announce that it is out. The new Admin Console is easier to use, faster, and comes with a lot of new features. 

Check out some of the highlights: 

Populate dynamic fields with Forms Designer

The new forms designer has a couple of cool new features: dynamic fields, section reordering, improved the handling of editing field types. Here’s a preview of dynamic fields:  

dynamic fields

Dynamic fields allow you to create dropdowns for selecting priority or contacts. These are pulled in from your PSA when Portal renders the form. You can also customize where the dynamic fields pull data from. This allows you to populate dropdowns with any data you want. 

Test out feature/UI releases with Feature Preview

Test out the new features on selected clients, before rolling out to all your clients. Gone are the days of trying to track down these feature flags for your companies – they’re now all here in one place.
