We're excited to announce a new option available for custom dashboards. The "user object" setting will display the check groups and checks available to the selected user or user group, without having to manually select those check groups or update them as that user's or user group's access permissions change. To help test this feature - or to verify the permissions set for an object - admins can generate and view dashboards from the point of view of a selected user or user group with the "Test Dashboard" links.

We're excited to announce a new option for check conditions: regex matching! For those complicated conditions that need detailed matching, you can now use the power of regular expressions to help match exactly what you need. A regex reference and tester can be found at http://regexstorm.net/

We have added the option to change your organization's date and time formatting: you can now choose between 24-hour clock and 12-hour clock display, and several date formats. If you have alternative formats you would prefer to use, please let us know! These settings apply across your organization, and can be configured by administrators on the organization's settings page.

Date and time formats for organizations

In addition, we now provide several new options for creating activity reports. Any search on the activities page can be saved to a PDF or CSV file, and the checks page includes the option to save a comprehensive history of your organization's activity history. The "Export Check History" option on the checks page will generate an archive of CSV files detailing the activities processed by CheckCentral over the selected period.

We also made some adjustments to subscription management to simplify changing your subscription level and added support for payments with American Express cards. If you have feedback or questions about these updates or any aspect of CheckCentral, please get in touch!

We're excited to announce a number of recent updates to CheckCentral!

We've updated nearly all the pages on CheckCentral to include pagination and filtering to ensure that your data is always easily available. As your organization grows, you will always have fast and simple access to your checks, groups, and more. You can also search for checks by name on your dashboard, to help you get to the information you need as fast as possible!

For organizations looking to automate the set up of their data, the CheckCentral API now supports create and delete endpoints to manage your checks, groups, and users. Access to these endpoints is restricted to API tokens granted the appropriate permissions. As well, we have also added authentication tokens tied to user accounts, which provide access through the API to only the data that that user is permitted to read or modify.

API Access Tokens

We've also made many other updates, such as an option to pre-sort newly created check groups in alphabetical order, improvements to PDF reports, the ability to configure Slack notifications for specific check groups, and notification emails now include the original message's attachments.

If you have feedback or questions about these updates or any aspect of CheckCentral, please let us know!

We're happy to announce that we're rolling out some updates to the CheckCentral mobile apps! The apps are updated with a new framework, and most of the changes are behind the scenes improvements. Here's the full list:

• Improved device support (including support for Amazon devices)
• The Microsoft Store (UWP) app now supports push notifications
• We've made some reliability improvements to the push registration process
• The Android apps have been posted to the Play Store and Amazon App Store, and iOS is coming soon

If you're not already using the CheckCentral mobile app, we encourage you to try it out. As always, if you have any feedback, we'd love to hear from you!

CheckCentral Mobile App

The CheckCentral API provides an endpoint for adding users programmatically. All of the configuration options are available through the API, detailed below. To add a new user through the API, you will require an API token for your organization with Read/Write access. Organization administrators can create tokens through the API portal on your dashboard.

The endpoint is located at https://api.checkcentral.cc/createUser/?apiToken=APITOKEN where the APITOKEN placeholder is replaced with your valid token. The request must be made with the Content-Type header set to application/json. The body of the request should contain the properties below to configure the new user's settings. Any properties not passed will be set to their default value.

For example, to add a new user you could send the following json in the body of the request:

{
  "name": "Person Somename",
  "email": "person@myorg.realdomain",
  "accessLevel": "User",
  "sendWelcomeEmail": true,
  "userGroups": [
    "userGroupID"
  ],
  "notifications": [
    { 
        "type": "failures",
        "services": [
            "sms",
            "push"
        ]
    }
  ]
}

The user data must include an email property as well as an accessLevel at minimum.

The complete list of possible properties for user creation are as follows:
