Release notes

Features/functionality

  • added the ability for contacts to have more than one email address
  • added the ability to upload JSON files
  • added the ability to click on the role on the dashboard info line to find out more information
  • added a feature to the links block, where if the title is left blank and the link is within the same site, the title of the linked page is displayed as the link title instead of the URL (if for some reason you wish to preserve the URL display, add the URL to the title field instead of leaving it blank); as part of this, internal links are always converted to the standard format
