Touch App Enhancements

The following enhancements are available when you upgrade to the Touch app version 4.1:

Improved Search Functionality

Deltek Tracking: 1680648

Previously, the Touch search functionality did not run as seamless as expected, and there were a few issues in obtaining data on the lookup screens. When you searched for specific criteria, the More button was either missing or pulled incorrect or no data. In addition, if you did not use the Magnifier icon during your search, you can only view the app results.

Lookup screens now show all the available data by default. For example, if you are on the Find Job screen, you can view your existing jobs, recent ones, and all other jobs on the screen in one go. If you are looking for more data, simply scroll down to the bottom of the screen. There are no additional data available in the Maconomy server if you cannot scroll anymore.

The More button and the Magnifier icon are also now removed. As you enter your search criteria, filtered data displays on the lookup screen automatically. Tap Search on your keyboard or use the new See server results for button to load more results. "No record found" is displayed on the screen when there are no results matching your search criteria.

Maconomy Enhancements

The following enhancements are available when you upgrade to the Touch app version 4.1 and Maconomy 2.6.1:

Note: For more information about the Maconomy 2.6.1 enhancements, refer to the Deltek for Maconomy 2.6.1 Enhancements Guide.

Server URL Auto-Population Removal

Deltek Tracking: 1453257

To ensure app security, the link to auto-populate the Server URL field in the initial Touch setup screen is no longer available. The initial setup screen in Android and iOS mobile devices previously had slight differences. For Android, there was one link that you can click either to download the app if it is not yet installed or to auto-populate the Server URL field, whereas for iOS, those actions had two separate links.

Now there is only one link in the initial Touch setup screen that allows you to download the app. If it is already installed, you must copy the URL provided in this screen and paste it in the Server URL field in the app. These changes to the initial setup screen apply to both Android and iOS mobile devices.

Note: If you are using Touch Backend 4.0 (or earlier) and Touch app version 4.1 (or later), you cannot click the link to automatically populate the Server URL field. Request for the Touch URL from your administrator and enter or paste it manually in the Server URL field.

Documents for Mileage Sheets

Deltek Tracking: 781469

You can now include receipts in your mileage sheet and mileage sheet lines. You also have the option to remove receipts and keep or remove these in your Archives folder. To support this feature, the Attach Receipt and Detach Receipt actions are added to the Mileage Sheet and Mileage Sheet Line screens.

Note: For the updated mileage sheet procedures, tap Help in the app to access the Touch 4.1 Online Help.

The new server settings and layout changes for this feature are added in the Touch 4.1 Admin Guide and the Deltek Touch 4.1 for Maconomy 2.6.1 Layout Configuration Guide, respectively.

Multi-Level Approvals

Deltek Tracking: 164274

Touch now shows the correct approval statuses and actions for multi-level approvals.

The following statuses can be displayed on approval items:
  • Submitted
  • Approved
  • Partly Approved
  • Rejected

The Approve, Undo Approve/Reject, and Reject actions are displayed or hidden depending on whether the item is approved or rejected.

Note: For more information about the layout changes, see the Deltek Touch 4.1 for Maconomy 2.6.1 Layout Configuration Guide.

System Maintenance Messages

Deltek Tracking: 1310089

Maconomy system maintenance is scheduled regularly, and to inform customers, email notifications were previously sent to SaaS administrators. A better way to inform users of system maintenance windows is directly in the app. Maintenance warning messages are now displayed in Touch once you log in.

Online App Release Notes

Deltek Tracking: 1698556

Previously, the Deltek Touch for Maconomy App Release Notes was published as a PDF along with the rest of the Touch documentation suite. The App Release Notes is now available in the Maconomy Information Center only. There are no major changes except for the addition of the Release History section which nests the release notes of earlier Touch versions.
