When assigning a supplier manually, the popup lists all suppliers. You can expand each supplier to view price details, off days and a timeline with all currently open jobs. In the framework of the new planning tools, this timeline was reworked and correctly highlights the off-days and (country specific) weekend days of the specific supplier.

A new "Planning" tab was added to the company, person and My Account pages. Here you can view and edit work times, weekend days, non worked days. In addition the pages show a timeline with all currently open jobs.
The information can be edited as per access rights, by internal managers for all companies and users. By external managers for external staff. Each user can edit his/her own work details.
This new feature also presets weekend days as a function of the user's country. For example, weekends are preset to Friday and Saturday where applicable.

Office filters always allowed excluding certain colors from translation (to cope with scenarios like "Translate all but the red colored texts). Now we added the opposite option: Translate only specific colored text! This allows for use cases like "Translate only the green and blue texts".

Three options have been added that allow:
1. Setting a project's status to 'In progress', the first 'Inactive' job's status in each workflow, is set to 'Not started'
2. Setting a project's status to 'Cancelled' all 'Not started', 'In progress', Inactive' and 'Not assigned' jobs' statuses are set to 'Cancelled'
3. Setting a project's status to 'Completed' is not allowed if there are jobs that are still open. A warning message is displayed instead.
All three options can be found under Settings -> Work processes -> Projects

The two financial reports "Project profit and loss - By service" now explicitly highlight Codyt supplier invoices where the totals were manually edited in the final invoice. This concerns Codyt only.
Normally, the invoice is automatically created from the cost details saved with the job. Since the report prints cost details saved with the Codyt job, the report needs to show the manual adjustments done.
Invoices that had been manually edited for Codyt jobs are printed as separate lines with "(Adjustment: Initial job cost manually changed in one or more supplier invoices)" in the "Document name" column.

The two financial reports "Project profit and loss - By service" now explicitly highlight Codyt supplier invoices that do not reference a specific job in separate report lines. Before, only the total of such invoices were shown with the project without showing the individual invoice references concerned.
Such orphan invoices are printed as separate lines with "(Supplier invoice not linked to job)" in the "Document name" column.

A new business rule was added to "Settings" > "Work processes". With this rule you can disable any notifications regarding jobs for external suppliers. Inactive jobs are then no longer notified. Only once their status is moved to "Not started" or "In progress", the suppliers will receive notifications.
This rule can be combined with the recently added access right "Can view inactive jobs". You may optionally revoke this right for external suppliers. Then they cannot see any inactive jobs online.

By default segmentation "hides" spaces in between segments in the translation editor. Upon creating the translated document, these spaces are reinserted.
With logographic target languages such as Chinese or Japanese, the hidden spaces generally should not be inserted back.
We added a new option with all file filters under the "Segmentation" related options. Tick the new option and spaces are not inserted back whenever the target language is logographic. The source language of a document does not affect this option.

If the configuration specified for the embedded Office files is the same as the parent configuration, the configuration size grows exponentially (Word contains Word contains Word contains Word....). We amended the system so that an Office file can still embed other files, but the embedded files themselves do not allow to embed files themselves (for the purpose of translation).

Whenever you mark a document for translation you choose a "file format configuration" that specifies which and how text shall be extracted and segmented. You manage your file formats under the "Settings" link.
We added links that allow you to view, per each file, the exact configuration that was used at the time.
With Codyt: Right click a file in the documents window and select "Manage document". In this popup you will find the new "Format configuration" link.
With Standard: Go to the "Work & Delivery" page of the project and click the name of a document. In the tooltip you find the "Format configuration" link.

Custom fields can be added for projects, jobs, invoices and so on from the "Settings" > "Custom fields" page. You can now create a new field type, namely checkboxes. These can either be ticked or unticked. This adds to the existing types text fields, pick lists, URLs and images.

Inactive jobs are jobs which are created but not yet to be worked on. A project manager can already assign such jobs so that suppliers can pick them up or prepare for the upcoming work. Some customers prefer that workers cannot see/access any inactive jobs even if they are assigned or job proposal exists. The new access right permits hiding such jobs for specific user profiles.

You can view all languages enabled in your platform under "Settings" - "Languages". In addition to language name and code we now show indicators in the last column of the list:
(1) if a language is written from right to left (Arabic, Hebrew..)
(2) if a language does not use spaces to separate words (Japanese, Chinese...)
The first flag is for example used by the translation editor to correctly render text. The second flag is used in conjunction with the generic text filter option to remove spaces in between segments when reconstructing a document in a language such as Japanese. You can read more about this in the respective text filter configuration under the "Segments" block (feature will be released only after the present one!).

The API method "projects/{projectid}/documents/codytdocument2" is used to mark a document for translation and create workflows. Now it has a new optional parameter "workflowname". With it you can explicitly specify the name of a workflow template. If not specified, the method uses the workflow template configured in the project as before.
See updated chapter 7.5.3 in the API documentation: http://documents.wordbee.com/display/SystemAPI/API+Reference

We added the new reports S107 and S108. They present the same financial data but present them differently: S107 renders a classic Excel table and S108 renders a set of charts, graphs and pivot tables. Both give answers to these questions: How much money did I earn per project, per client, per source language or per target language. Using the wide range of filters, drill down to understand where profit is below or above expectations.
All reports can be freely customized in terms of content and design. See how this works at: http://documents.wordbee.com/display/WBT/Customizing+Reports

Supplier groups are a convenient means to rapidly assign qualified suppliers or create job openings.
With the existing "static" groups you explicitly select and add services of suppliers when creating a group.
Now with the new "dynamic" groups you specify filters. Suppliers matching the filters are then automatically members of the group. Filters can be on custom fields, labels, translation domains, price codes, ratings and other criteria. Both static and dynamic groups have their respective use cases. Once again, with Wordbee you are at the forefront of process automation.

Currently the project dashboard lets you display a list of all project documents together with the respective number of segments. This information is shown in a tooltip. This improvement adds words per document, characters per document as well as a grand total of segments, characters and words.
