Features
To create more dynamic ticket scores, we have added dynamic conditions for date and time fields.
Currently for conditions which are related to date and time we cannot give proper comparison values as we do not provide the matching options. You will soon be able add operators for date and time values as dynamic conditions. Your existing ticket scores will still work (though not displayed correctly), therefore our recommendation is to set them up again.
New options to limit the optimizer at a project or ticket level
We have introduced the new field "Optimizable" with options for yes and no inside the Ticket Details. Tickets by default are "Optimizable". New is that you now have the flexibility to decide which particular tickets should be included or excluded from the optimization.
We have added an additional section for optimization configuration that will allow you to decide whether or not to set a proposed date during optimization.
This enhances the flexibility of the optimization configuration.
We have introduced form field validations that allow you to create individual validations for your fields on your forms, such as allowing only numbers, text, emails, etc.
We have included an additional tab for each field settings inside the form creator on which the user is able to give their on custom validation by using RegEx and Hemscript. You are able to enter your own error messages that should be displayed with translations. Multiple validations can be added and also cross-validation (validation in comparison with other fields) are available. System default validations are also visible on this tab, however, they are non-editable.
FMA: We have introduced a new feature that allows FMA users to take photos and attach them directly from FMA
This helps to eliminate the need to switch between different apps.

This change makes it easier for you to recognize which exact options are turned on or turned off for each project. Options like: Skills consideration, Show device, LSDT violations, SMTP, Anonymization, Retention days etc.
We have improved container tickets so that they are displayed correctly on the Timeline with the correct appointment times
Before this change, it sometimes happened that incorrect times were displayed. After this change, this will no longer be the case.

We have rearranged the "Miscellaneous" section a bit and have introduced a new "Driving preferences" section to make the optimization configuration even more comprehensive.
