Direct Entry Updates & Permanent Changeover Timeline
- Currently looking at Monday, May 1st as the changeover date
- With this change, ALL systems will begin using the New Direct Entry method and the “Return to Legacy” icon will be removed
- To help ease systems not using it yet, we will do a switchover to the New Entry being the default for all systems on Monday, April 3rd, giving Admins a chance to adjust Users to the new Entry by keeping the "Return to Legacy" icon for a month
- We will send out an email in mid-March with official dates and timeframes, along with helpful Knowledgebase articles you can send to your Users to get them prepared
- Admin Control & User Permission Updates
- Admins can now Hide pages on Entry if they are not a step you want
- Ex: Remove the Template Pages to only have Data & Documents if you do not regularly use Templates
- Can also set it so only the Documents Page appears, making it very similar to the Legacy Entry, and all Data will be entered only from the Contract Container
- Admins can now Hide pages on Entry if they are not a step you want
- Any individual Users who do not have access to any Templates, will not see the Template Creation page, even if left on from the Admin set-up
- Read-Only Users will be able to Use New Direct Entry
- We will be updating the way a Contract Entry initiated from a Template is entered
- Once a User, Read-Only or any other type, selects the “Click to Fill Fields” from the Template or Library grid, they will be redirected to the Contract Attributes Page 1 of the New Entry
- The Template they selected to be filled out will be saved for them, and chosen automatically when they reach the Template Creation page of Entry
- Read-Only Users in systems without Templates will continue to have no Entry abilities
