A restriction for Client Portal users is implemented after the contract is approved, preventing them from editing, adding, or deleting any attachments. However, they will still have the ability to view the existing attachments in read-only mode.

You can customize this behavior from the settings, and choose whether to allow CP users to continue editing attachments after contract approval or restrict them to view-only access.

The delegation feature is now enhanced by including approvers and signees for contracts. When an approver or signee is out of the office, another user will be able to step in and handle the approval or signing process on their behalf.

This delegation functionality will be applicable not only to core users but also to Collaborators (Client Portal users).

Note that CP users should have a collaborator access type to be able to use the out-of-office feature, and the alternative CP user must belong to the same company to maintain smooth workflow and collaboration.

You can now generate a comprehensive report and filter on client portal requests, allowing you to view the departments from which the requests originate. Users can easily identify the specific departments of CP users, rather than just the requester's name.

A foreign currency gain (or loss) is

experienced when a payment is made

for an invoice using an exchange rate

different from the one at the time of bill creation. While creating the payment, an automatic calculation of the realized gains will be made.

the client portal, whether it's a ticket or

a contract, an automatic email notification will be sent to the requester. The email will contain all the pertinent details of their request, including the matter/contract name, assigned person, relevant dates, and other essential information.
