Job Numbers are now searchable and displayed for Jobs in FYI. You can now find the Job Number in the Jobs list (as both a column and filter), in the Job Workspace in the "Summary" pane and "Workflow Jobs" tab (if using Workflow Jobs), in the Home "My Jobs" tab, and when exporting the Jobs List. In "Search Jobs" at the top of the Jobs list enter the Job Number to search for a specific Job Number.
For an example of the new features, refer to Using the Jobs Lists. For more information on Workflow Jobs refer to Getting Started with Workflow Jobs.
- For our Australian and New Zealand users, the Client - Tax Tab now has additional columns and filters available, including Estimated Income or Payable/Refundable, Income and Income Variance, and more.

Refer to Client Tax (Australia and New Zealand).
- For external Apps and Integrations using a Secret Key, the Secret Key will now only be visible the first time the key is generated. The Key should then be stored somewhere secure.

In addition, the Workflow will be marked as Completed, and the grey "Draft" icon will not be displayed in FYI. Emails can be managed through Outlook from that point on. Once sent, any changes will be updated in FYI.
Note: Please review any Automations using auto-complete actions. These steps may be impacted by the Delivery state immediately changing to "Sent".

Note: Files are still uploaded to OneDrive as usual; the update is visual only and there has been no change to the functionality of sharing the documents. - We've made it easier to update to select yourself in a drop-down list by introducing a new "Me" option.

Once saved, the field will be set to the current user.
