Current Enhancements

Here’s an overview of the key updates from the past week:

“Areas Served” field

  • The “Areas Served” field, added to the Basic Page content type in December 2024, is now available for use. Utilize this field as an input filter for:
    • Creating listing pages of Basic Pages
    • Generating automatic lists of Basic Pages
  • This enhancement simplifies content management and improves filtering options.

Table Format for News and Basic Page Listings

Content managers can now create listing pages of News and Basic Pages in a "Table" format. This feature includes clickable headers, allowing users to sort columns in ascending or descending order. The enhancement streamlines data presentation and improves user interactivity.

Header Input Form Alignment Fixed

The alignment of the input form and magnifying glass in the header has been corrected. The updated design ensures consistency and a cleaner look, aligning with the tighter implementation seen on some non-platform sites.

Division/Section Field Added to Microcontent

Content managers can now assign the Division/Section field to Promo and Video Promo microcontent types. This update enables filtering of microcontent by Division/Section, improving organization and management in the /admin/content interface.

Location Heading Sizes Adjusted

We fine-tuned the WYSIWYG editor for Location content types to ensure proper heading hierarchy. H3 headings will now display slightly smaller than H2, which remains slightly smaller than H1, maintaining consistent and accessible formatting.

Upcoming Launch Timeline

We have made adjustments to the launch dates for changes to both the Marketing and DX platforms. You can find the updated timeline on this sheet. Be sure to review both tabs for details and stay informed about the upcoming milestones.
