• Document workflow now live in chatbot ✅

• New document type → Data Sheet with new workflow ✅

We are changing the way user permissions are managed by moving away from individual "User-to-Employee" connections in favor of a more efficient Team-based model.

Key Changes :

1. Role Inheritance: Users now inherit their roles, authorizations, and filters directly from their assigned TEAM.

2. New "TEAM" Function: We are replacing legacy distribution lists with a new grouping logic. For now, this new logic will run alongside the old system to ensure a smooth transition.

Note : Users can no longer edit the relationship between employees and users in the CCS or BC portals. This has been moved to Display Only to protect data integrity during the migration.

We’ve enhanced the user interface for role assignments by putting role descriptions front and center. Now, users can focus on what each role actually does rather than just its technical name; Role descriptionswill be available in both English and German, so users can see what each role actually does in their preferred language making role selection faster, easier, and more intuitive.

We have enabled Mandatory Relation logic for the Digital Configuration Framework (DCF) when operating in Standalone Mode. This update ensures that all required dependencies are correctly enforced during the selection process. This fix also addresses previously reported issues with missing mandatory/related items in standalone mode.

We have updated the default behavior of the "I am substituting" filter to provide a cleaner, more focused entry point for approvers.

1. The "I am substituting" checkbox is now unchecked by default.

2. Upon login, the workitem approval list (top-right corner) and the main approval center will now display only the user’s own tasks.

3. Tasks for which the user is a designated substitute will only appear if the user actively selects the "I am substituting" option.

Even if a user normally doesn’t have access to a Purchase Request (PR), they can now read the message and display the PR once they are added as a participant to the message. This makes it easy to follow the PR and communicate quickly. everyone else who isn’t a participant still cannot access it.

We’ve refined the user interface to make daily work with messages and approvals noticeably clearer and more efficient especially when acting as a substitute.

From now on, items and messages you handle as a substitute are no longer mixed into your main view in the Approval and Messaging widgets in Home Page. This gives you a clean separation between your own responsibilities and substituted tasks, Substituted items are still available in the full lists by checking the chekbox “I am substituting”

When opening a message as a substitute, you can now add yourself as a participant in the conversation. If needed, you can also remove participants, helping you take over responsibility and ensure it is clear who is actively handling the message.

In addition, the message overview has been improved: the participants list is now shown by default. This gives you immediate context without extra clicks, while still allowing you to collapse or hide the section anytime.

We’ve simplified how you track catalogs through the approval process. No more searching through old reports—everything you need is now visible in the Catalog module.

1. "Your Approval" : A new filter show you exactly which catalogs are waiting for your action right now.

2. "In Approval" Filter: Want to see where a catalog is stuck? Use this filter to see all catalogs currently being reviewed, even if someone else is the approver.

3. Live Approval History: Click the new "Approval" button to see a full timeline of who approved or rejected a catalog and when.

4. Future Forecast: You can now see the current and next steps in the approval chain, so you know exactly who needs to sign off next.
