Overview

This document describes any new features, enhancements to existing features, fixed issues, and known issues for the 5.6.0 release of the Customer Journey Plug-in. For information on supported platforms, please refer to the Connectors Supported Platforms page.

Feature Enhancements

Display journeys within a tab or a panel: A new "tab" display option has been added for journeys. Administrators can configure whether journeys should be shown for a particular module as a panel or within a tab on the record.
Horizontal viewing mode: Users can now decide whether they want to view a particular journey in vertical or horizontal mode. In the default vertical mode, stages wrap to the next line when the journey is wider than the visible area; in the new horizontal mode, stages are presented left-to-right continuously with a scroll bar for viewing stages beyond the visible area.
Viewing archived journeys: Users can toggle between active and archived journeys in the journey panel or tab.
Assignment notification email in "digest" format: When starting a new journey, the assignment notifications for created task records will no longer be sent individually. Instead, a single email notification with a summary list of the user's assigned tasks will be delivered in addition to any call and meeting invitations.
Automatically reassign open activities when parent record is reassigned: You may now configure a journey to reassign any open (Not Started or In Progress) activities when the assigned user changes on the parent (e.g. account) record.
Activities blocked by stages: An activity can now be blocked until one or more specified stages have been completed. Formerly, blocking could only be done by another activity, but now both options are available.
Delete option for activities: "Delete" has been added to the Activity Actions Menu. The administrator can disable access to the Delete option via the "Disabled Activity Actions" field on the Journey Template.
Pre-populate datetime and relate-type fields: Relate fields and datetime fields are now available to be pre-populated via Related Sugar Action. Datetime fields on the parent record can be set to a fixed or relative date and time.
Added support for Sugar 11.0.x (Q2 2021): This version of the plug-in can be used with supported Sugar versions up to 11.0.x.
