Improvements
Bulk Assignment of Links to Groups
- To streamline the process of link collaboration, we have enhanced the Groups feature by enabling bulk assignment capabilities. Users can now select multiple links from the Links page and assign them to one or more groups simultaneously. This improvement saves time and simplifies the workflow for managing link access and collaboration within groups.
Expanded API Access Token Availability
- In our ongoing efforts to enhance user accessibility to BLINK’s API, we now provide an API access token to all users on their My Account page. This update extends the ability to connect with our API to all user levels, previously restricted to only domain admins and account admins, enabling more robust integration options for all of our users.
Bug Fixes
Search and Filtering for Link Admins
- We've resolved an issue that prevented Link Admins from using custom search and filtering options on the Links table. With this update, all functionality has been restored, and Link Admins can now effectively utilize the search and custom filters to manage links more efficiently.

Updated the tooltip to provide even more clarity on the purpose and function of the field.
Adjusted the appearance in the Link Edit and Link Create drawers to signify that this field is not editable, ensuring customers understand its purpose.

Bug Fixes
Visibility Fix for Owner Column in Links Tables
Previously, standard users were unable to see the Owner column on the Links tables in BLINK.

While standard users can only see their own links, the Link Owner field remains visible to all users, providing valuable information for better link management.

Improvements
Enhanced Attribute Ordering in Link Templates
Users can now explicitly set the order of attributes in a link template. This change grants greater control over the ordering of custom attributes during link creation.
Trusted Destinations for E-Link
Account admins can now designate specific URLs or domains as Trusted Destinations for E-Link. This ensures that only links leading to these approved destinations can be created, adding an extra layer of security and trustworthiness to the E-Link page.
Import Attribute Values from CSV
The import streamlines the process of populating picklist and checkbox attributes. This enhancement is designed to significantly reduce the time and effort involved in manually entering custom values for attributes, thereby improving efficiency and usability for our users.
