GeoCivix System Enhancements for Oct 17th

Dear GeoCivix Administrators,

We are pleased to announce that several system enhancements are scheduled for release during this weekend’s deployment. This release makes messages easier to read, gives portals that use the Outlook calendar connection control over which inspections reach Outlook, and makes passkeys easier to use across devices. It also resolves reported problems with project comments, plan review pages, and inspection fees.

Key Enhancements

Easier-to-Read Messages

Messages on the Messages page and within a project’s Messages panel now display more clearly.

• Full message text is available, with a Show more link for longer messages.
• Icons identify errors, warnings, successes, and informational messages, while unread messages are highlighted.
• The Undismissed and Dismissed views are clearer, and Dismiss All is hidden when viewing dismissed messages.
• If workflow automations repeatedly trigger one another and are stopped, the resulting message now identifies the sequence of automations and steps involved to help administrators troubleshoot.

The Messages page: full message text, an icon for each message type, unread messages highlighted, and Show more on a long message.

Outlook Calendar Sync Controls

Portals using Outlook calendar integration can now limit inspection calendar appointments to email addresses belonging to their organization. Individual users can also disable Outlook calendar sync for their own accounts.

Inspection appointment times now preserve the correct minutes. Inspections assigned before a time is confirmed also appear on the inspector’s Outlook calendar on the requested date.

What You Need to Do: If your portal uses Outlook calendar integration, enter your organization’s email domain (for example, @yourcity.gov) under Site > Configuration > Site Configuration > MSGraph Email Domain. Multiple domains can be separated by commas. Leaving this field blank retains the existing behavior of including all assigned users. Individuals can disable syncing through My Account > Outlook Calendar Sync when editing their account details.

1. The new MSGraph Email Domain Setting, shown when Use MSGraph Calendar is set to Yes.

2. The new Outlook Calendar Sync setting in a user’s account details.

Waived Inspection Fee Fix

Inspections with all fees waived no longer remain in Awaiting Fee Payment status. Waived, inactive, and expired fees are no longer treated as outstanding inspection balances.

Passkeys on More Devices

Two-factor authentication passkeys now work more smoothly across computers, phones, browsers, and password managers.

• Passkeys are labeled by the device and browser used to create them and can be renamed.
• Updated instructions explain how to verify another way and add a passkey on a new device.
• Error messages for passkey setup and sign-in have also been improved.

Two-factor settings under My Account > Security, with a passkey labeled by device and the new rename option.

Project Comment Display Fixes

Adding a project comment now expands only the new comment rather than every comment in its category. Unnecessary blank space inside comment boxes has been removed, and comments on documents with multiple versions now appear under the correct version.

Plan Review Page Reload Fix

Opening a plan review action page from a bookmark or browser history, refreshing after submission, or returning with the browser Back button now displays a helpful explanation and links back to the project instead of an error. No additional action is taken.

The message shown when a plan review action page is opened without an action to perform.

That’s all folks!
