Touch for Maconomy App Release Notes

Enhancements

This is the start of your concept.

Touch App Enhancements

The following enhancement is available when you upgrade to the Touch app version 3.2:

Updated Interface of the Settings Screen

Deltek Tracking: 1051699

To help you easily determine which menu items to configure, the options on the Settings screen have been reorganized in separate sections (General, Menu, and Information).

When you set the Approvals toggle switch to ON, it displays another section called Approval Settings between Menu and Information sections. This section contains three options related to invoice allocation approval and substitute approvals.

Maconomy Enhancements

The following enhancements are available when you upgrade to the Touch app version 3.2 and Maconomy 2.4.4:

Enhanced Support for Attaching Receipts Using Quick Capture

Deltek Tracking: 1099685

Touch allows you to attach receipts using Quick Capture on the Expense Sheet screen and, subsequently, attach the receipt from the Expense Sheet screen to the Expense Sheet Line screen. In the previous version, you could attach receipts only to the Expense Sheet screen, only to the Expense Sheet Line screen, or both screens.

This capability is controlled by the ExpenseAttachmentType server setting, which applied consistently to the Quick Capture, Expense Sheet, and Expense Sheet Line screens. A new option called Header in Quick Capture, Line in Expense has been added for this server setting.

Map Feature on the Expense Sheet Line Screen

Deltek Tracking: 1099674

You can now use the Map feature, which opens the Google Map and displays the From and To route, on the Expense Sheet Line screen. This feature works in the same manner as it does on the Mileage Sheet Line screen. The only difference is that on the Expense Sheet Line screen, this feature is hidden by default.

To make the feature visible, your technical consultant needs to customize the standard ExpenseSheetLineLayoutREST.I file. Setting the {key: #N"map", hidden: false} setting to true to make the option available in Touch.

Support for the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in REST

Deltek Tracking: 804820

Deltek Touch now supports the 2FA method for Maconomy 2.4.3 and 2.4.4 in REST. This authentication method verifies end users’ identity by requiring a combination of two different factors, something that the users know (for example, your password) and something that they have (for example, an installed mobile application that can approve authentication requests).

Maconomy 2FA is disabled by default.

Note: For more information on enabling Maconomy 2FA for Touch, see the Deltek Touch for Maconomy 3.2 Technical Installation Guide.

Support for Option List in Expense Justification in REST

Deltek Tracking: 793790

The expense justification functionality now supports option lists, allowing you to select values in justification fields. If you tap an Expense Justification field with an option list on the Expense Sheet Line or Mileage Sheet Line screen, a search screen where you can select a value instead of manually entering it displays.

Vendor Invoice Allocation Lines for Approval

Deltek Tracking: 712897

The Invoice Allocation Approval feature has been updated to display invoice allocation lines for approval allocated to certain invoice types, including G/L accounts. In the previous release, Touch only displayed those lines allocated to jobs.
  • The Invoice Allocation Approval screen has been updated to display the Job and All tabs, depending on the option you select in the Invoice Allocation Lines drop-down list on the Settings screen.
  • You can select an invoice line to approve or reject on the Vendor Invoices screen. Tapping the line displays the Invoice Allocation Line screen, where you can view more invoice line details, such as Job Number, Job Name, Task, G/L Account, and PO Reference.

Login Performance Enhancements

Deltek Tracking: 698254

The styles used in Touch layouts has been updated such that the file layout size is considerably reduced. This change speeds up the loading of the layouts upon login.

Support for Substitute Approvals

Deltek Tracking: 488750

Deltek Touch now has the ability to notify you (as the assigned substitute approver) if there are items you need to approve in the absence of the original approver. You can only approve those items to which you have appropriate rights.

Support for Long Text Fields

Deltek Tracking: 488747

Touch now supports the long text feature available in Maconomy. In certain text fields in Touch, you can enter descriptions longer than the 255-character limit. This is controlled by the Maconomy system parameter called EnableLongTextEmulation.

Support for HTTP/2

Deltek Tracking: 903853

Deltek Touch now supports HTTP/2, which covers significant changes to the HTTP network protocol to improve Internet experience.
