In Delegate365 version 2.7 there were some minor fixes rolled out. Style Sheets and client messages were updated. The user import with an CSV file had a problem with updating the new imported users in the users list. Since D365 uses a cache layer for user objects to improve performance since version 2.3 the new users didn´t show up immediately after the file import but after the automatic sync task (which runs in the background in a predefined time frame). With this fix the new importet users now show up immediately in the users list. ...

Delegate365 changelog version 2.6. We internally changed the encryption of stored credentials and extended it to protect all custom values. D365 uses an own Service Account for accessing and transferring user data to Azure Active Directory. For Exchange functionality like Alias email addresses or distribution lists as well as reporting data D365 needs additional credentials. These essential data must be stored in a secure way. To ensure safety in D365 we changed the encryption and extended it to all properties stored in the D365 database with version 2.6. Now all custom config values (even fields like company name, address, phone number, etc.) are encrypted with an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. ...

Probably you’ve seen a lot of photos and videos this week of celebrities and other well known business people dumping buckets of ice water over their heads. Here’s why and how we participated in it. The #IceBucketChallenge is about raising money and awareness for a disease called “ALS” (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) which is a motor neurone disease. The rules of the challenge: To accept a person has to dump a bucket of ice water over his head within the next 24 hours or donate money (usually $100) toward fighting ALS. Even if a person completes the challenge, they’re welcome to donate money too – actually everybody is most welcome to make a donation at https://www.alsa.org. After the ice water dumping nominate three other persons! ...

Delegate365 changelog version 2.5. There´s a new feature concerning distribution lists built in. We got the request that it would be useful to integrate existing distribution lists into other distribution lists (DL) in D365, so that all members of a DL automatically receive emails if their DL is member of one or more other DL(´s). So now in D365 v2.5 it is possible to put existing DL´s as member into another DL. This feature is handy and reduces potential synchronization steps and eases the organizational tasks for the admins. ...

Delegate365 changelog version 2.4. We optimized some changes in the SMS notification service. New feature SMS-notification. Each customer can define if he wants to use SMS notifications in D365 or not. With SMS there are additional costs for the SMS provider. To ensure that a customer is aware of that function we can completely switch the SMS sending on or off. Admins: If yes, admins can define if they want to receive a notification via email and/or SMS: When editing the admin you can define each channel: email and/or SMS. The format of the phone number must be like this sample: ...
