Sneak Peek of the January Highlights

Access your Projects checklist tasks from the task notifications

By simply clicking on the task name in the notifications, you will now be able to quickly process the task from the newly designed task view and make progress for your Projects.

 
Deactivate Franchise Entity records

You can now update the status to Terminated for the Franchise Entities that are no longer associated with your brand while preserving all historical activities and information. The update also removes the terminated entity record from the FranConnect interface other than the Terminated view on the Entity listing, where you can later Activate any previously deactivated entities.

The newly designed Hub library now supports previewing the documents before downloading. Additionally, you now have additional controls and permissions to enable collaboration through Comments for your content in the library.

But Wait, There's More...

• Efficiently update the email templates associated with your Workflow. You can now ensure consistent updates to the email template configured in the Workflows actions for automated notifications such as renewal, compliance notices, and franchise lead updates.
