We have added a new dialog and action to record a purpose against contacts and leads in order to specifically define their original and on going relationship. This creates a new entry in the privacy log. The removal date against the contact/lead is automatically updated from the removal date of the privacy log entry (if later than the existing date). Note - this is an Admin user function for users who have access to the Privacy menu.
Users can now select a Removal Date Mode for a purpose.
The options are "Created date" and "Now" and will affect when the removal date in the privacy log is set based on the selected option. When Recording a purpose against a contact or lead the Removal Date Mode is taken into account when setting the removal date.
Users can now select an event type when the interaction type is event attendee. Changing an anonymous attendee to a contact or changing contacts now inserts to privacy log for new contact if a rule matches.
Users can now see the "opted in" status of a lead from the top level lead management list. This field is automatically present in the top level leads list and can be filtered. It is not present on screens.
Users can now see the date a lead or contact opted in against the list. In the top level lead and contact list a "Connect Opt In Date" field is now present that can be filtered. This field is automatically present on the lead list and can be list-designed onto the contact list. The date is set for all newly synced opt-in data from Connect and is set to the current date and time at the time of syncing.
Against a campaign stage a new field has been added to "Only include opt-in recipients". Note: the field will need to be screen designed onto page)
The default option (including when the field is not on screen) is No. When set to Yes only recipients that have opt-ed in through GV connect will be included in the stage as recipients.
When a contact un-subscribes their opt-in status is now also revoked.
This is an on-premise only single hotfix release for a document permissions issue.
Gold-Vision, as with other business software products, will be one element of your GDPR strategy. After completing a data audit and identified your sensitive and personal data, lawful basis for processing and purpose for holding contact data, you will want to map these processes and build privacy rules in Gold-Vision.
We have released functionality to allow you to:
• Identify and set your personal or sensitive data fields
• Define your data purpose – using lawful basis for processing and retention duration
• Configure privacy rules
• Monitor and manage – Subject access requests and erasure requests
Additional functionality will be available in future releases.
In addition to searching by Account Name and Contact Name in a Contact Activity you can also search by email address and mobile number.

Standard Gold Vision security functionality has been extended to Events and Campaigns this will;
1.Provide Gold-Vision administrators with the capability to restrict user access to Events (and all related sub Items) and Campaigns (and all related sub items) via Owner Security functionality.
2.Provide users with a consistent selection of options for securing the item via the standard security drop down (i.e. via the Public, Private and Team security options)
3.For items referenced against an Event or Campaign, continue to ensure they are correctly managed by Account Security (for example, Accounts/Contacts attending an event or Opportunities linked to a Campaign)
The security dropdown is only available against the top-level items but applies to all child items, so you can only add the drop-down to the Seminar, Marketing Campaign and Marketing Source items
Security is only applied to the top-level lists, not the sub-lists within items therefore in the top level list the item will not appear however with in a sub list the item will appear but once it is click access will be denied
The security field has been added to the following objects:
Additional user defined fields are available in the following areas:
Additional user defined fields are a feature of Gold-Vision 7.1. This will provide significant flexibility for users who need more than the current allowable fields and means you can develop your Gold-Vision to suit your team requirements.
There is no limit on the number of additional fields that may be added to an object, although please note that large numbers of fields may adversely affect Gold-Vision Performance.
Fields of the following data types are available to be added:
Currently, the following objects can have additional fields of any type (above) added to them:
Please note - currently, the following objects cannot have additional fields added to them.

If an Account has been promoted from a Lead record, the user will have the ability to view the Lead record and Lead List it was promoted from, against the Account record. 'Lead' and 'Lead List' are now available as clickable fields within the Accounts List view and Accounts Screen Design. Clicking on either the 'Lead' or 'Lead List' field will open a new window containing either the original Lead record used to promote the Account or it will contain the Lead List that the Account was promoted from.
When users create new Email Alerts, they are able to use a custom 'Sender Address' that the alert will be sent from. There is also now a 'Test' button which allows the user to test that the alert can be sent as the specified 'Sender Address'.
It is now possible to email template documents to the record contact by an option on the template document output. This saves users having to copy email addresses from the record manually.
Plus general fixes including:
Searchable dropdowns now work with extension item dropdown fields
Marketing campaigns click-thru list now displays correct details for leads
Touch Point user access control is now on a per-user level (as well as being in a Team with access to Touch Points you will need to check the box for the user)
Back-End Campaign Processing
All campaign processed for 'new' campaigns has been moved to the back end, specifically to the data transfer service. This change has little impact to the front end and is intended to improve the stability and support (it does not improve performance directly).
When performing a refresh in the front end the user will see a typical "refreshing" message but will also be alerted to the fact they can close the window while the work is being carried out. Furthermore, if a user opens a source or stage that is currently being refreshed in the back end, the "refreshing" message will return to the display and the user will not be able to key another refresh until the current process has finished.
DTS Automatic Start
The DTS (data transfer service, which controls Connect transfer and touch point imports) will now automatically start when an attempt is made to refresh a source or stage in the user interface.
Campaign Source Refresh Performance Improvements
Some performance improvements have been made to refreshing campaign sources / stages. Please note that stages containing many sources will still perform refreshes of the sources sequentially and hence users will experience a slower refresh time than for fewer numbers of sources.
A new account can be created for every unknown attendee imported from Eventbrite.
Billing Addresses can now be mapped against the Attendee.
Work Phone can now be mapped against an Attendee.
Follow-Up Delay Details Displayed

.

When open, the black arrow points downwards. Expanded items can be closed by clicking their bars again, or by clicking the 'Close' link.
