Recent ShortStack upgrades

You can now filter entries in the Entries Manager based on custom field values (as long as you are using Form Containers and Field Widgets and not the old Form Widget). To get started, you’d simply click the “Choose Custom Filters” link at the bottom of the Filters section in the Entries Manager, then use the resource picker dialog to page through and pick the custom fields you’d like to use for your filtering.

When viewing a notification message from ShortStack, there’s now a trash can icon available to delete just that single message. You can also delete individual messages from the drop-down at the top of the Dashboard.

A bundle of changes have been made to the Random Entry Picker to make it more reliable and easier to use. The “The same entry can be chosen more than once” option has been removed, and the algorithm for picking entries has been updated. The picker will now show an estimated time for how long the system will take to select the random entries. The default number of entries to pick has been changed from 3 to 1. Also, the “Give extra weight…” checkbox is now selected by default, and now you cannot submit the picker unless at least 1 entry is being picked, and one label has been added.

When you hover over a widget in the Edit Widgets Panel (or in the preview area of the Builder), you can now lock a widget’s position using the padlock icon. This will keep the widget from being accidentally moved up or down in the campaign.

An update to the platform has been pushed to show context-sensitive help icons – just look for the question mark bubbles around the site and Campaign Builder. These icons, when clicked, will open a pop-up showing support videos and documentation specific to the area of the site you have open. We’re doing all we can to make support easier for you to find!

An update has been made to the Action Widget that allows users to trigger actions based on field values, opening up a whole new world of potential form logic! Some updates to the Form Container have been made as well. Advanced Points for Actions was moved into the “Advanced” tab, where integrations will now also be found. An “Alert” settings tab was added, too!
