We've added the option to secure your account with two-factor authentication. This helps to secure your account by preventing unauthorized access by requiring a second level of security in addition to your password. To log into your account with two-factor security you will need to enter a code sent via SMS to your mobile phone. Visit your User Account Page to enable two-factor security!
Checks can now be set up with more precise overdue thresholds. We've reduced the 30 minute minimum overdue time to 5 minutes, with additional options for 10 minute and 15 minute intervals.
As well, each Check now has a link at the bottom of its recent activity to view its extended activity history.
This week we also added a new caching layer to the CheckCentral backend. With the new cache layer we'll be able to process and report on all your emails with continuing efficiency and flexibility! Using a shared caching layer common to all our backend services will help ensure that your data is always available and up to date.
When displaying email messages, we always use the @mycheckcentral.cc email address as the "To" address. However, if an email is automatically forwarded to CheckCentral, its original "To" address isn't shown. We've updated this so that for new messages we will now display the original "To" address as well as the address used by CheckCentral. This will only be displayed if the addresses are different.
We've added a new option for configuring your checks. With "Condense Whitespace" set for a group of rules, CheckCentral will ignore any extra whitespace in the message when matching against the each rule. This is particularly useful for HTML formatted emails, which often have extra line breaks and tabs in the document that aren't displayed.
We've also made a number of performance improvements behind the scenes, particularly with regards to sending out daily digests, as well as some minor bug fixes and usability improvements
We've added extra filtering options to your dashboard, to help you view only the Checks you want to see. Clicking on the status indicators in the Organization Overview allows you to directly filter to one specific status, and you can expand the "Filters" interface to select a combination of statuses to view. The filters you select will also remain in effect when your dashboard data automatically updates, ensuring you only see the information you've chosen to view!
In preparation for upcoming updates to CheckCentral, we've moved user management to a dedicated new page, accessible from the Organization navigation menu for organization administrators.
The new layout provides a much clearer overview of the users that you've given access to, and simplifies the process of updating any user's settings.
In addition to theses updates, we've also released various other minor UI updates, including improved standardization of the appearance and naming of pages across CheckCentral.
To build on our new Annual Subscriptions, we've also added the option of Quarterly (3 month) billing cycles, so you can choose the plan that best suits your organization's needs.
Quarterly Subscriptions also come with a discounted price of 5% off the cost of a month-to-month subscription.
CheckCentral now provides PDF copies of invoices for payments. Invoices will be included with payment receipt emails, and you can download past invoices from your subscription or organization history page.
This update also includes several UI improvements and fixes, including warnings about creating checks that will duplicate another check's message matching.
We're pleased to announce the addition of CheckCentral Annual Subscriptions! Organizations can now simplify their billing process to receive an entire year's subscription to CheckCentral with a single payment.
Annual Subscriptions also come with a discounted price of 10% off the cost of a month-to-month subscription.
We've improved the filtering options on the Recent Activity page to greatly improve performance. As well, searches are now saved in the browser history so that you can easily navigate and refresh them.
In addition, the Stats page now provides direct links to filtered searches for each check and status, to provide an easy way to get a deeper look at the status of your checks and activities.
The list of attachments for a message now provides links to view the content of each attachment.
This update also includes several UI updates and bug fixes, including supplementary information in activity status tooltips.
We've simplified several aspects of the billing process in preparation for upcoming additions to CheckCentral's billing options. Organizations that decide to change their subscription plans will now remain on the greater plan for the duration of their billing cycle, allowing for a simpler transition to the new plan.
We've also added social media links to the bottom of dashboard pages to help you spread the word about CheckCentral. Sharing through these links will not expose any information about your organization or CheckCentral account, so please go ahead and share on your favourite service!
In addition to these updates, we also released some behind-the-scenes enhancements and bug fixes, including a bug that displayed incorrect expected hours for Checks.
