Release 5.0.124

This maintenance release addresses a number of stability issues, but is most notable for the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) fixes applied to the Administration area.

With the product architecture being pretty stable, VerseOne has turned its attention back to the user experience. With a good number of sites now deployed on VerseOne ECM v5, we have been consulting with those customers on how best to improve system navigation.

The first round of UI/UX improvements have now been rolled out.
Quick Search
The Quick Search—located in the main header—enables users to swiftly find the content they require, through dynamic typing. Users can then easily preserve their search by creating a palette—and then they can find the next element.

We have been using this system internally for a week and we have found that it makes an enormous difference the speed of system navigation.
Select Palettes
When you need to select something in the system, a palette pops up. We have now made it clearer which element has been selected and, once you have done so, the palette will close down—saving you a click (and more time).
Styling for In-system Messaging
We have tidied up the styling for conversations conducted through the In-system Messaging system. We have also enabled you to associate a object when sending a Message. You will see this when using the Reply button to create conversations.

Asset Menu -> Messages -> Read a Message -> Click "Reply".
Styling for the Tasks Report
Tasks (or To Dos) have now been tidied up, and some icons added for the Complete and Delete functions.

Asset Menu -> Reports -> Personalisation -> To Dos
Minor fixes
We have made numerous other styling fixes, including the state icon when Automatic Reviews are enabled on Entities.
