Reports
*Report saving error - adjustments to “save and edit” in report nodes (FNW-1994)
Adjustments were made to the report saving functionality of the website, including adding the following functionality:
-
Autosaving a report every 30 seconds.
-
Saving report content in a draft form, even if the report has not been officially saved using “save and edit” or “save and preview.”
-
Notifying users if another user is editing the same report.
Note that this does not replace the need to save and edit, or save and preview a report. It is just additional functionality to reduce the chance of error.
*Add enhancements to paragraph widget for reports (FNW-2011)
Along with the changes to report saving, additional functionality was added to the report content form, including the following:
-
Adding content before or after any existing content section.
-
Splitting paragraphs of existing content.
-
Requesting confirmation when a section of content is deleted.
*Add paragraph sets module to reports for Annex (FNW-2024)
Introduced a new Paragraph Sets module to enhance report customization. Users can now include repeated pieces of content, such as explanations or annexes, into reports via a paragraph selection interface. Designed for flexibility, this feature enables consistent and efficient content inclusion across multiple reports.
Important Note:
The module functionality has been implemented, but the content for paragraph sets is still under development and not finalized for production use.
*Display image figure number in the paragraph admin view of reports (FNW-1939)
Users can now see the figure numbers in the admin screen of the content tab for reports.
