Release notes - Digital Place for Local Public Services - 3.16.0

Features

 

CMS

GOV.UK Frontend

We have updated Digital Place to use the GOV.UK Frontend toolkit 4.7.0. Release notes on the changes can be found at https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/releases/tag/v4.7.0 

Navigation Menu display

We have introduced a configuration option for Navigation Menus that will allow the list of entries to be displayed in the order of insertion as an alternative to the default of sorting by name 

Menu Display

We have introduced a configuration option for Menu Displays that will allow the list of entries to be displayed in the order of insertion as an alternative to the default of sorting by name 

 

Accounts

No Fixed Abode

We have had an option to include No Fixed Abode as a choice for users signing up for a new account, but this hasn’t previously been treated like an address, which meant it was not available in the address history of a user. This has now been changed with a new feature, meaning customers can see a complete history of user addresses in their account, including if they have used No Fixed Abode at any time


Forms

Bin Collection Day of the Week

We have extended the Waste connector to also retrieve the day of the week as a number in API calls so that it can be used in presenting the information in forms

Multiple file uploads

We have extended our File field to make it repeatable so that users can upload multiple items without the need for adding multiple File fields to a form


Dynamic Data Lists

DDL Display options

We have added a configuration option to the DDL Search Listings portlet that allows you to specify the CSS class to use for the display when in grid mode (i.e. col-md-3 for a 3 column display and col-md-4 for a 4 column display)


Case Management

Report filter - search as you type

The case management Report section currently allows administrators to configure fields to be used as a filter, which are then displayed as a dropdown select.

This new feature will be updated to let administrators choose to display the filter as either dropdown select or search as you type. The administrator screen will be updated to display a new configuration option 'Filter Type' with the values: dynamic and searchAsYouType, in a similar way that the case dashboard filters can be configured.

Report filter - dropdown select

The case management report currently can be configured to include expando fields of type ‘Text’ or TextArea. 

This feature expands the functionality to support expando fields of type ‘dropdown select’. This allows a report to use the list of available options in a field as a dropdown for selecting against, with the generated report including the values stored against the field
