  • When connecting your NowInfinity integration, and the Sync Sub Accounts setting is toggled to 'On', all documents for the sub accounts available to the connected account will be imported into FYI.

Refer to Connecting your NowInfinity account to FYI.

  • When a user is set to Inactive in the User Profile, the user is directed to the login page the next time they log in.
  • When the Jobs list displays with resized columns, and users toggle between Unhide/Hide Inactive Jobs, the column widths are retained.
  •  When creating a task for a Job using a Task Template, if there is no Job Category associated with the Job, the Job Category from the Task Template will default if it is set in the Template.

  • For practices migrating from a database system such as MYOB AE and Virtual Cabinet, you can toggle "On" Match to active clients only. This allows only documents and emails for active clients in your FYI Client List to be migrated. Refer to Onboarding Wizard..

The Co-edit with your team settings have moved. This allows practices to get up and running with Co-editing documents internally first, and follow with Co-editing documents with clients once you're ready. There is no change to the functionality of the Collaborate features.

When configuring or editing 'Co-edit with your team' settings, the following settings have moved from the Collaborate app to the OneDrive app in the Automations workspace. This is applicable for practices maintaining Co-edit settings and for practices getting started with Co-edit.

  • When using the Create Job step in an automation, the Budget field accepts either a valid number or the merge field {{ TriggerBudget }}.

Refer to Process Step Details - Updating Clients, Creating and Updating Jobs.
  • When using bulk update to edit job due dates in quick succession, the updates synchronise to XPM.
  • After displaying a job from the Jobs list, the job is available for quick access from the Jobs menu.
