With a new streamlined and efficient process, aimed at reducing the time necessary for sales reps to spend creating orders, our new orders greeted the new year in beta format where a large portion of our active users began pressing buttons and providing feedback. Since then, new orders has received multiple improvements and moved out of the beta phase, and replaced our existing order management process.

October 2019

• Document Manager (MagHub’s file sharing tool) improvements.

With only two releases left of 2019, November’s release was aimed at cleaning up existing features, and adding new improvements for our current clients, including:

• Ad Inventory Report.

• Along with the portal editors, you can now also personalize your MagHub instance to make it a more white-labeled solution to match your branding.
• Left-Hand Navigation updates: With all of the changes in 2019 to the left-hand navigation, we also added the ability to use MagHub’s Global Search to find nearly any item in the system, including actions! You could type in a report name, or perhaps add a contact, and our search engine would find exactly what you were trying to do. Next step, voice controller? Maybe.

Here we end our journey of 2019’s MagHub Release, in December we rounded out the year with multiple client requested features to MagHub’s CRM, Proposals, and MagBuilder modules. Features included:

Well there you have it, a year in review of 2019’s MagHub Releases. We understand it’s quite a bit, and the crazy thing is that it’s not even all of the features added, nor does it include any improvements or fixes we’ve added in the system in each and every release throughout the release.
