Sertifi Release Notes

This article contains summaries of the bug fixes, feature enhancements, and new features for the Sertifi releases. The Sertifi releases are named after the day they're released. For instance, Release 20180101 would be released on January 1, 2018. For more detailed information about new features, see Sertifi what's new.

2020 Releases

Release 20201008

What's New

  • Admins can now unmask card numbers when reviewing payment information.
  • Performance enhancements for added reliability and speed

Fixes

  • An error would occur when attempting to access View Folders if there are folders with no assigned participants. This no longer occurs.

Release 20200813

What's New

  • Super Admins can now determine when they would like their Sertifi portal to automatically expire and remove signer-uploaded attachments. By default, attachments will be expired and removed when their associated signature document reaches its expiration. However, signer-uploaded attachments can be retained for a period of up to 1 year. Note that changing this setting will immediately affect all attachments currently within the system, which may result in unintended deletions. For example, if the setting is changed from “30 days” to “1 day”, any document that was uploaded more than 30 days ago will be expired.
  • Folder Maintenance screens now display user-uploaded attachments.

Fixes

  • If a folder contained only signed signature documents, some users attempting to open the folder would receive a “cannot read property ‘role’ of undefined” error. This has been fixed and should no longer occur.
  • Regex validation bugs would result in errors occurring when attempting to input email addresses containing a capital letter and a period (e.g. Faye.Valentine@gmail.com). This has been fixed and should no longer occur.
  • When scrolling to the bottom of the View Folders screen, certain folders would disappear if a change was made to the “Created” filter. This has been fixed.
  • If no default email group was selected, portals would sometimes auto-select a random email group for workflows. This should no longer occur if a default email group is selected.

Release 20200715

Sertifi is excited to announce the release of our new Advanced Fraud Tools. With a combination of smart technology and data analysis, your Sertifi portal will now automatically assess new transactions for signs of potential fraud. More than 100 points of data are used to perform the risk assessment, including IP address, user device type, billing address, and CVV verification. Hotel staff can review the risk analysis score before deciding on whether or not to proceed with a transaction.

Next Generation Release Notes (Version .13)

  • User interface updates were made to the toggle links, making it easier for users to switch between Sertifi Classic and Sertifi Next Generation.

  • For eSignature and ePayment portals, Super Admins can now choose for their portals to use either the Sertifi Classic or Sertifi Next Generation user interfaces. Super Admins can also give Admins the ability to choose between Sertifi Classic or Sertifi Next Generation. This functionality will become available in eAuthorization portals later this year.

Release 20200702

When Admins view signer attachments, the attachments will now appear in a separate browser tab. This is a fix for a security issue in which signer attachments had to be downloaded to the user's loca machine if the user needed to see the attachment.

Release 20200406

This release contains no major updates to frontend features because Sertifi is hard at work enhancing our backend functionality to prepare for upcoming feature releases.

Release 20200325

New Email Tokens for Payment Details

Super admins are now able to add fields from their Payment Settings to email templates; by doing so, emails will automatically be populated with information from the relevant field.

Email tokens are available for the following fields:

Website

Location

RefundCancellationPolicies

SupportPhoneNumber

SupportEmailAddress

Release 20200225

You can now force your admins to reset their password every 90 days which makes your Portal more PCI compliant. Contact your Sertifi Customer Success Manager to enable this for your portal. Note that if your admins are using SSO to access Sertifi, this setting doesn't apply.

Release 20200203

What's new

eConfirmations

The eConfirmations report includes a Record Source on the eConfirmations record pop up so you can see which provider or partner you're receiving records from.
