Usability improvements

SSRS reports — Visual tutorial for creating custom reports

A new tutorial with ample screenshots walks you through the process of adding a custom report to iMIS with Reporting Services (SSRS). The SSRS documentation is now streamlined and expanded with new overviews to help you master reporting in iMIS, from auto-generating reports using IQA, saving those reports back to iMIS, and publishing them to your site with the SSRS Report iPart. See the Tutorial: Customizing a report template.

Improved search links

In the iMIS sample sites, search result links for events and products now use shortcut URLs to determine what content record is displayed, so that it is easier for website administrators to manage which page users are taken to, site by site.

Dragging and dropping iParts in a content layout

When designing a content record layout, it is now easier to drag and drop iParts around the page. All major browsers now support this functionality.

Friendly URL shortcuts for content records

iMIS supports the ability to define friendly URL shortcuts, so that an easy-to-remember URL redirects to a specific page. Now you can create these shortcuts for content records, in addition to URLs. You can also link friendly URLs to specific content based on theme, so that a "donate" URL goes to one record on the main site and a different record on your mobile site, for example.

New option to hide the summary panel

To increase screen real estate in the Document System, IQA, Content Designer, BOD, and Content Layouts, a new option has been added to hide the summary panel for the object selected. Select Organize > Display Summary to enable this option.

Surf-to-Edit icons

Surf-to-Edit has been updated to use a more modern icon set, and the clickable area for configuring iParts has been expanded. The larger clickable area for these icons help to make it easier to edit iMIS sites on tappable interfaces, such as tablets.

IQA - Intuitive sorting of Properties

When you design and edit queries in IQA, you now see the Properties grouped and sorted intuitively, by source and then by property name. This new sorting affects all of the Properties that you select in the Filter, Sorting, and Display tabs.

Easier contact creation

It is now easier to create new contacts in the iMIS Member site. From the Directory, select Add > People or Add > Organization.

Fundraising Dashboard

The Member site now includes a Fundraising Dashboard, from which you can easily see a snapshot of fundraising activity, including information about new donors, revenue, and acquisition appeals.

New style for IQA search parameters

The display of IQA search parameters has been enhanced. This panel is now wrapped in a CSS class, so that you can easily style the search parameters any way you want. This area includes the title and search options.

SOA documentation updates

SOA documentation has been updated. It now includes an up-to-date list of the primary addressable entities, a new section on .NET manager classes, and new C# examples.
