Release Notes

For Users

Improved

• We have removed the option to add someone to your Network from the expanded Person Screen preview within Contact Import. This was making for a confusing experience where you were being asked to import a contact you had already added to your Network. Now, if you want to add someone to your Network, close the preview screen and import them like every other contact.

Fixed

• Some links within text blocks had been positioned incorrectly on some Android devices. Now all links behave more consistently on Android and Web and look better. On iOS, the links will more consistently change color when you tap on them.
• If the keyboard is up when a user opens the user drawer or campaign drawer, it will close.
• In some cases, when you closed the User Profile Editing screen while editing an address, Reach would crash. This is fixed! Edit your address to your heart’s content.

For Admins

New

• Tag Prioritization and Ordering! Campaigns can now add a numbered priority to control the order that tags appear for their users throughout the app. Tags without a priority set will be sorted by type and then alphabetically.
• Campaigns can set default metrics/timespans for rankings. These defaults will be used the first time a new user on your campaign visits the Rankings screen. Once a user has customized their settings, Reach will remember those settings for that user. If you want to make sure a user gets to the Rankings Screen with specific settings, try an Internal Link Action Card.

Improved

• Maintain State better across Admin Screens Everything you toggle, adjust, filter, sort, and change in Admin screens is maintained per campaign as long as you’re using the same web browser.

Fixed

• Generating Exports from the Admin Exports screen was resulting in a “Something went wrong” message in Firefox. 
• In Admin, refreshing on the users screen no longer causes a crash screen in certain cases.
• The toggle to show and hide live chat under the Help menu is now more consistent and reliable. We can’t wait to talk to you!

For Users

Improved

• You are now encouraged to add your full address when signing up for Reach. This helps your campaign better understand where you’re Reaching from. We have added fields for Address Line 1, Address Line 2, City, and State on the User Account Creation screen and the User Account Edit screens in addition to the existing Zip Code field. Google Places will also auto-complete allowing you to start to enter your address and see automatic suggestions which will fill the rest of the fields. 
• Changed language from “Type to Filter” to “Type to Search” throughout the app.
• On the question choice picker screen for multi-many and multi-one questions we changed the close “X” button to a Done button.
• Improved language on the My Reach sorting drop-down to get more specific about how you’ve sorted your Network.

For Users

Improved

• We’ve added some headers to the Campaign Directory screen to make it a bit more clear.
• We have changed the Close button on Filter modals to a Done button to make it more clear that you won’t lose your selection when you tap it.
