Released Enhancements

Streamlined Navigation Buttons Across Item Subpages

Navigation has been improved across Item subpages. We have replaced the “Save Item” button with consistent, workflow-friendly navigation options. This allows users to move smoothly through agenda items and approvals.

The Next Item and Next Approval buttons on an example Item Approvals page.

Key Details

New Buttons Added:
- Next Item: Navigates to the next agenda item
- Next Approval: Navigates to the next item requiring approval
Replaces Save Item Button: Removed from view-only subpages where edits are not typically made:
- Item Timeline
- Item Approvals
- Item Tasks
- Item Written Comments
Consistent User Interface Placement: New buttons match the styling and position used on the Item Fields page
No Save Required: Navigation does not prompt for saving, as these pages are intended for reference only

New [CURRENT_DATE] Merge Tag for Document Templates

Format: Displays in long-form | Month Day, Year (for example, January 1, 2025)

WCAG 2.2 Admin Portal Improvements

Improved Text Scaling and Responsive Layout in Agenda and Meeting Management Select Admin

To support {{glossary.WCAG}} 2.2 compliance and ensure usability for low-vision users, the {{variable.AMM Select}} {{glossary.Admin}} interface has been updated to support proper text scaling and responsive layout adjustments across Meetings-related pages.

Key Details

Zoom Support Up to 400%: All admin interface elements now scale properly up to 400% browser zoom without breaking layout or losing readability
Responsive Redesign: Content now flows into a single column layout when needed, minimizing the need for horizontal scrolling
Dynamic Layout Adjustments: Containers, text, and navigation elements resize dynamically to remain accessible across screen sizes and zoom levels
Improved Page Behavior: Enhancements made to Items, Agendas, Minutes, and Events views to support accessibility
Vertical Scrolling Introduced Where Needed: Tables and content areas now support vertical scrolling to preserve visibility and functionality
Screen Reader and Keyboard Navigation Ready: Updates align with assistive technology use cases, including screen readers and keyboard-only navigation

Added Table Captions for Screen Reader Accessibility

To support {{glossary.WCAG}} 2.2 compliance (1.3.1 – Info and Relationships), meaningful <caption> elements have been added to tables across key Admin views. This helps screen reader users understand the purpose of each table.

Key Details

Improved Accessibility: Screen readers announce the table's title, providing context for non-visual users
WCAG Alignment: Meets 1.3.1 guideline by ensuring relationships and content structure are conveyed programmatically
Consistent Implementation: Table captions have been applied across specified views where data tables are presented

Resolved Problem Tickets

978806: The Event Name and Event Location elements on the Public Portal and Public Portal Embed did not include ARIA labels. This made them inaccessible to screen readers. It also triggered failures in {{glossary.ADA}} scans
- Expected Functionality: ARIA labels have been added to the Event Name and Event Location elements. This ensures screen readers can accurately interpret and convey this content. This update improves accessibility compliance for both standalone and embedded Public Portal views.
980021: When visiting the Public Portal with an Event Category filter applied and fewer than three upcoming events published, the page scrolled to the Past Events list instead of the upcoming or current events.
- Expected Functionality: The Public Portal scrolls to the upcoming or current events on initial load. This occurs even when a category filter is applied and there are fewer than three upcoming events.
983414: The Support Chat widget was failing to load for Admin Users on V8 Admin. Access to in-app support was prevented.
- Expected Functionality: The Support Chat window loads properly for Admin Users with chat access. This allows them to reach Support directly from the Admin Portal.
994270: Live streams were failing to load on the Admin Portal, Public Portal, and embedded players on third-party sites. A "No Media File Available" message was displayed instead.
- Expected Functionality: Live stream playback now works correctly across all platforms. Streams appear on the Admin Portal, Public Portal, and embedded players once the event is live.
