Users
As an end user, you can expect the following new features.
Contact and Authority Directory for Fabasoft Boards
With this release, the fully fledged successor to the well-known Contact and Authority Directory (KUB) is available directly in Fabasoft Boards. This enhancement enables municipalities and public-sector organizations in particular to seamlessly track and historicize the membership periods of individuals in various committees.
Key Features at a Glance:
- Centralized Directory: A new, comprehensive list of persons is now available on the Boards dashboard. Person objects can be based either on licensed Cloud users or on contacts from the contact management system.
- Historicized Memberships: Each person's profile clearly shows when they served on which committees and which business matters they participated in.
- Flexible Role Allocation: Roles and functions are now flexibly recorded directly on the time-bound membership. Consequently, an individual can hold multiple roles with different timeframes within the same committee simultaneously.
- Comprehensive Metadata: Person objects have been expanded with key eCH-compliant fields (including salutation, first/last name, date of birth, address, phone numbers, and email), with updates automatically synchronized with the linked contact or user.
Individual Permission Control for Proposals
The permission management for proposals in Fabasoft Boards has been made more granular and secure. You can now define fine-grained access rights directly at the level of individual proposals, independent of general committee permissions.
Converting Meeting Documents to PDF
Meeting documents can now be saved directly as PDF. To do this, use the “Save as PDF” option in the menu.
Administrators
As administrators, you can expect the following new features.
Optimization of Automatic Meeting Participants
The automatic generation of meeting participants has been made more flexible to keep lists clear of administrative or purely authorized users:
- Exclusion of Purely Authorized Users: A new checkbox, "Disable Automatic Meeting Participant List Updates of Authorized Users and Teams" is now available in the committee settings. When enabled, users or teams who only have access rights are no longer automatically listed as participants. The list is restricted to actual committee members and manually added guests.
Undo the “Preparation Complete” status for meetings and agenda items
The meeting administrator now has the option to reset a meeting that is already in the “Preparation Complete” status back to the “In Preparation” status. The same can also be done for agenda items in this status.
Return to dashboard from configuration sites
From configuration pages in Boards, you can now navigate directly back to the home page using the "Switch to Dashboard” button in the menu.
