Troubleshooting SharePoint integrations

If your users experience long synchronization times and you use SharePoint, take a look at the new Storage analyzer report that offers insights into SharePoint document location records. Locations that point to CRM records not available in the offline database don't need to be downloaded and can be omitted using Sync Filter.

Inspections

Leaner JSON

In this release, we are introducing a lightweight version of JSON. We took a hard look at how questionnaire answers are stored, eliminating overhead, redundancies, and some rarely-used fields. This new storage format should help save storage requirements in large-scale deployment scenarios.

• JSON storage for questionnaires

Change group labels using rules

You can now modify the label of questionnaire groups using rules. For example, the following rule will change the label of a group to "Done" when all questions are answered.

Tweaks to the Yes/No question

• The default labels for the Yes/No question are "Yes" and "No".
• When creating a questionnaire by importing an XLS file, you can now specify custom labels in the file instead of the default "Yes" and "No".
  

Static image size

Questionnaire designers have now more control over how static images are displayed in the app. Previously, larger images were automatically resized to 600x600 pixels (keeping the ratio). You can now manually set image width and/or height on the Properties pane. This function is not supported in the web app.

UI: Switching between groups & group icons

If your questionnaire includes multiple groups, you can switch between groups. On Android and iOS, you can swipe down to display the list of questionnaire groups. On Windows, this function was missing, but with this release, you can click the questionnaire caption to display this list.

We have also improved how custom group icons are displayed. The icons in the group list now match the icons in the questionnaire body. See how to add custom icons for questionnaire groups.

Custom commands for Button components

If you have custom commands defined in your questionnaire template, these commands are also available as options for buttons. The command's effects are defined using the On Execute rule.

1. Create a custom command.
   
2. Define the command action using an On Execute rule.
   
3. Select the command as the action associated with a questionnaire button.
   

Grid layout editor improvements

When editing a custom grid layout, you can now toggle between user-friendly labels (current default) and logical names of the questions.

You can also delete unnecessary rows or columns directly from the editor. The (x) button for deletion appears when you point at the column or row header. Click the button to delete.

Access guides from questionnaires

You can now add guides as a static component to questionnaires. Inspectors can consult guides directly from the questionnaire and return to the inspection.

Reorder uploaded images

Inspectors can now change the order of images in multiple-image questions.
