We’ve been working hard to make Host Building better! Here’s the new and improved features, integration updates and resolved bugs you’ll find in this release.

What’s new

Homepage Redesign

We’ve been working to improve the user interface and user experience of the Homepage. The footer menu improvements were released in V1.75, all other improvements have been released in this release. The changes have improved the legibility of each content piece, as the text previously overlayed the image restricting the images that could be used. These improvements won’t impact the current content appearing on the homepage nor will it change the logic that determines what is shown, and there is no action required by clients for this update to take place. See Coming Soon: Homepage Redesign for an in depth look at the most notable changes.

New data extracts in preparation for migration to VTS

We’ve created new data extracts that will allow clients to better leverage their historic Host data as they transition to VTS.  These extracts will be provided to clients by the digital team at the time of transition to VTS and will contain information from each section in the admin portal. The new extracts created this release were:

• Admin accounts
• App users
• Buildings
• Spaces
• Tenancy listings

What’s improved

Blocked app users and deactivated tenancies  

• Deactivated tenancies
  After a tenancy has been deactivated, if the app user tries to access or use the app they will be shown a tenancy deactivated message. The only action the app user will be able to take is to access a limit view of My Profile.
  
• Blocked app users
  After an app user is blocked, if they try to access or use the app they are now shown an updated message and are able to submit a contact us form to alert those nominated Building Access Support Email Address in the admin portal that the app user is blocked and are trying to access the app.
  

App user information removed from reports

Personal identifiable information has been removed from food and beverage reports.
