Release Date: November 8, 2023
Updates to the Librarian User Role
The Librarian user role has been renamed to Reviewer in preparation for future additional user role additions and changes.
The Reviewer user role remains a "read-only" user role which can view patrons and notice templates, but cannot edit in these functions.
There is a bug which will be addressed in a future release which allows users with the Reviewer role to edit patron email address and notification method values.
A breakdown of LX Starter user roles may be found in the LX Starter documentation here.
We will be releasing the Manager user role in a future LX Starter release.
BUG FIXES
Error Message When Attempting to Send Test Email
When staff attempt to send a test email, LX Admin displays an error message (Fill in library location settings) and does not send the test email. This issue has been resolved with this release.
Incorrect Warning Message When Publishing/Unpublishing Courtesy Notices in Sierra Releases Prior to Sierra 6.0
A small change was made to the text within the warning message when publishing and unpublishing Courtesy Notices in releases below Sierra 6.0.
Release Date: November 22, 2023
Manager Role
A new user role, Manager, is available to use with LX Starter.
Manager was designed to allow users management of LX Admin settings, while leaving notice design and publishing to other roles.
We will be releasing additional roles for LX Starter in the future to provide support for users who should be able to design and publish notices, but should not have access to LX Admin settings.
BUG FIXES
Special Character Support in Email Subject
A bug was fixed where some special characters within the Email Subject caused issues with notices being stuck in scheduled status.
Incorrect Display of "Patron email updated" in Patron Activity Logs
A bug was fixed where patrons with hard bounced notices would show "Patron email updated" in the patron activity log despite no email update occurring.
