Dear CommCare Users,
We've been busy at work for the last few weeks and have made added some new
features to CommCare HQ that we hope you'll benefit from.
First, as many of you have noticed, we now have a Bug Report button
conveniently located at the top left of every page. When you encounter a
problem, click on that button and fill out the form to let us know about the
issue. We will be notified immediately and will get back to you with a fix
or possible solutions. Reporting a bug using this method is actually even
better than emailing us, because it sends us additional information that can
help us solve the problem quicker.
The *Case List Report *is now sorted by type. For most of you, this will
not affect anything, but for those of you that have workflows involving two
different types of cases, you'll have separate lists of cases, one for each
case type.
As described in a previous email, we now have support for unicode in the
Case Export. It now defaults to exporting in Excel xlsx format, which deals
with unicode better than CSV.
We have added the *Case Activity Report *to the list of reports that you can
have automatically emailed to you. To set this up, click on Users, and
then Scheduled Reports.
We have changed the interface around deleting forms, modules, and
applications so that it's harder to delete things by mistake and if you do,
you have an opportunity to undo. We hope this saves you annoyance
and catastrophes in the future.
This is a feature that has been around for a while, but I wanted to draw
attention to it as we recently got it working better. If you want to change
what your CHWs see after sending forms, you can edit the Custom Success
Message. You can have different messages for different languages, and the
message will change depending on which language their installation of
CommCare is set to.
Wishing you and your projects the best!
Danny
