There was nothing to fix in this Release. Everything runs smoothly!

The KPI Monitor got an updated Filter with much more possibilities to dive into your data pool. With that new Filter you can create detailed reports and analysis.

The User Profile got a new Section "Keywords". With that Section the User can set up his interests and gets suggestions for exiting Profiles as well as Users with similar interests so that they can exchange via the Message Center.

From now on every User has to enter his Name and E-Mail before he is able to send a new registration. With that information it's possible to send them E-Mails about the Status of their applications, for example if it's rejected.

Some small sneaky Bugs caused some trouble with one of our API Endpoint. We caught them safely and released them in the nature where they belong.

The Profile Type "Technology" got a major update. New Technology-related Properties and Assessment Possibilities.

A first look into the new Message Center is possible now. You can send Text Messages to other Users in the first place. Later on we will update and extend this Message Center with multiple new features.

If you have the Profile Type Technology enabled, your Portfolio now shows different Tabs for the Company Profiles and Technology Profiles.
In the Activities Section there are also two Tabs now for Profile and Project Activities.

Some additional minor Updates are implemented. For example we built in an access Cache System to boot the Performance of Activities.

Some of the New-Stream entries shoed the wrong time. This issue is now fixed and the timestamps are correct for all of the entires.

The Project Access restriction for custom users was too restrictive. Now it's possible to select users for granting access again.

Small Text Fixes in Tooltips and Labels.

In this release we have introduced a new profile type - the User Profile.
By clicking on the image of a fellow user the user’s profile page opens. In this profile, you will now see the contact details of the regarding user, the profiles he/she is in charge of and all the activities you are granted to see. This new profile type will increase the transparency and ease getting in touch with the right persons.

We also have developed a new profile acceptance process. This means our customers can now decide if certain user roles that are allowed to add profiles to the portfolio need to go through an acceptance process prior to add or import new profiles to the portfolio. The mentioned user groups can still create new profiles as before with the difference that admins will check the newly created profiles and either accept or reject them before they are displayed publicly in the company’s Portfolio Overview.

We understand that it should be possible to add a user to a company’s aumentoo application even if the email address of the user was already listed in aumentoo. This is especially the case for users that are involved in an external Hub using aumentoo as a tool to connect startups to corporates and also involved in the company itself using aumentoo for managing projects and cooperation partners. So, we decided to develop a feature which makes it possible for the same user to login to two different aumentoo interfaces - one of the Hub and one of his company - without problems. Users with more than one account at aumentoo can now choose on the login screen which company interface they want to login.

In aumentoo there are a number of profile fields that can be added optionally to the profile. In order to make it easier for the administrator to configure the tool in the settings, these disabled optional fields are now better highlighted as disabled in the application.

On smaller screens it was not possible to close the menu bar once opened. The overall desktop application is not meant to be responsive as we also offer a mobile application for iOS devices to assure the best user experience. Nevertheless, we decided that it is best to add a closing button for the menu bar if users work on a reduced screen size in order to close the menu bar.

While opening a few profiles after one another, it is possible to navigate back to the previous ones. This was not possible when opening competitors’ profiles in the context tab of a profile. Now you can also navigate back to the first profile when a competitor’s profile is open.

It was possible to select Scouts as responsibles for projects. As they are not allowed to see the projects feature even if they are selected as responsible or if they were granted the visibility access rights it did not make much sense to allow their assignment as responsible. So, we have now disabled Scout users to be selected as project responsibles.

We have now implemented a sorting order function for the status. Admins are able to set the order of the various displayed status in the settings section of aumentoo. The given order will then be set for the grid view in the profile overview page as well as in the assessment graphs of the profiles’ page and of course in the dropdown status field in the profiles.

Only competitors could be added to a profile that were already in the aumentoo portfolio. But now - in order to ease your work - we have introduced the possibility to add competitors directly from the Crunchbase database if the regarding company is not yet in the portfolio.

To make your user experience even better and to bring some variety into the profiles, we have added Google Maps to the profile's overview page. Now you can see in Google Maps where the company’s headquarter is located, if an address or at least a city is given.

We have modified our custom user roles feature, so that it is now possible to assign even more detailed user rights.

It turned out that when a user wanted to change documents or images in the profiles, while another user changed the same documents/images at the same time, the user got an error notification saying that the file does not exist. This incorrect error message was renamed in a more user friendly hint, and is now saying that the document/image is probably being edited by another user, asking the user to refresh the page in order to make his changes to the document/file.

It is possible to reactivate archived profiles. To do so, you must go to the profile and click on the ellipsis button in the right corner of the profile and select reactivate. This button was also displayed for users with no editing rights on the profile. Although, they were not really able to reactivate the profile as a hint was displayed saying that they are not allowed to take this action, we have completely removed the button for the users that are not allowed to edit profiles to avoid confusion and a bad user experience.

The tables in the task page were not fully responsive, which lead to not so nice overviews when opened on the phone or on smaller screens. This issue is now fixed - you can work on the tasks also on smaller screens having the same UI experience as on desktop screens.
Also the Firefox browser led to a display issue - which could successfully be removed. The browser highlighted the Notes activities’ boxes in red colour, although there was no mistake made by the users.

We have recreated the Project section in the profiles. Adding a new project is now similar to adding a new request plus the project creators are able to select its visibility. This means the creator can decide which user may see their projects and who is not allowed to. Additonally, new information fields were added to the form in order to describe better the scope and available resources for the projects. Multiple responsibles as well as participants may be assigned to a project, too. And the best part is, that it is now possible to link one project to multiple startups and a startup - or profile - can be linked to multiple projects. The projects will then be automatically displayed in the linked profiles. Like this, you will now have an even better overview on ongoing, planned and finished projects with your startups.

What would be a newly created profile tab without an overall projects page? That’s why we have also developed a new menu page - project overview! Here you are able to see all the projects you are allowed to see and may find an overall view on ongoing, planned and already finished projects.

We have now a “Forgot Password?” option on the the login screen. If you forget your password you can still access aumentoo by clicking on this option, typing the email address associated with your account and then receive a verification code in order to set a new password.

We already have implemented the possibility to customize the email templates as well as the regarding texts. It is now possible to set an English and a German version of all the given emails. As long as there is text given for both languages, the email receiver will get the email in the language that he has previously chosen for his aumentoo experience.

You are able to share interesting profiles with other aumentoo users. You can select all users that are registered in aumentoo but keep in mind that users that are not allowed to see this profile will have no access to it and thus you can not select them for sharing the profile. If you share a profile with another user he/she will get a notification in aumentoo and can immediately discover the profile.

In order to always ensure that an internal employee and not an external consultant is set as responsible to a profile, we have now implemented the rule that every input value must be linked to an internal responsible. If an external consultant/scout now choses one of the input values the profile is automatically assigned to the internal team member linked to that value.

You are now able to pin a profile that would match perfectly to a given request to the shortlist of that request.

We have implemented character limitations for certain profile fields. This is to ensure that the Onepager looks always great.

If a user is assigned to a profile, he/she will get a notification about this change.

It turned out that existing profile activities could be modified but the modification was not saved in the backend. This appeared to occur both from the web interface and from the app. This problem was fixed.

User that were not allowed to see certain profile sections got a notification when changes occured in this section, but the notification only said that something in the profile was changed and not what exactly was changed. This bug is now fixed - the user only gets notifications about changes that he is supposed to see to avoid confusion and a bad user experience.

A few design display issues occured in the Firefox Web Browser, which were corrected.

Now it is possible to customize the Profile Overview Layout. You can decide where the Information-Sections should be placed in a Profile.

An Administrator has now the power to create and edit individual Help-Texts for their users for the Profile Overview and Assessment Section.

Per default it is possible to choose as many Classifications in a Profile as exist. Now you are able to set a limit for a maximum amount of Classifications per Profile.

From now on Alias-Names can be set for every language available (en, de). With this feature all of the users can enjoy their preferred language much more.

The Registration Service got an upgrade so that it supports Alias-Names as well. With this feature for example you can use questions as Alias-Names to make it more to the point what a Startup has to enter in each field.

The Profile-Archive is now optional. If you don't need an Archive for "On-Hold-Profiles", you can disable the archive now and get not disturbed by it's presence.

As a new module we added "Forms". With that you can create Formulars with as much Questions you want and send them to Startups or Users to fill out. As well as you are now able to define one or more Forms for the Registration Service.

The custom roles got an update so that there is a more detailed interface to define what a User should be able to access and how. It is now possible to give or remove access to each single Tab in a Profile, as well as to all of the available Modules.

In the Newsstream, changed Documents were displayed as "Removed Images". That was a misconfiguration in the message selector of the activity. Now a changed Document will be displayed as a changed Document.

New Activity Overview: A new overview page was introduced to view, filter and sort all activities.. This overview simplifies a fast access to open tasks, upcoming milestones and meetings. The Activity overview will be further extended in later updates.

With this release we introduce the ability to post messages, documents or reports directly to the news stream. Therefore, it's now possible to share information/ news with other users.

• Messages can be posted by everyone, except Visitors
• Documents can only be posted by Administrators

To clear the browser cache is important to make changes in the platforms configuration visible. To ease the clearing of the browser cache a button within the personal settings was added to the menu. By clicking on the new button the browser cache is cleared.

A Responsive Navigation bar was implemented, which adapts itself to the browser window size. For this purpose an additional submenu is displayed as soon as menu points can’t be reached anymore.

While switching between the browser tabs during different activities, the user will be notified about the activity in the other tab. For example, a dialog appears as soon as the user starts editing a task and switches between the task and the application interface.

The texts in the charts “Classification Cluster” and “Source Flow” were redesigned to improve the legibility and to have a consistent design.

The different types of news entries have been unified. Now the entries can be easily identified through a informative label.

The default Profile cover Image was changed to a gradient in the pre-configured corporate color. This improves the orientation within the profile header as well as the loading time of the profile.

Empty Profile fields, won't be displayed in the viewing mode anymore.

Part of this release are updates to the Infrastructure and Framework for a better and steadier Performance of the application.

A set filter in the Newsstream was also applied in the activity stream of the profiles. This bug was fixed. Now, it is possible to set different filter separately in the Newsstream and activity stream of profiles.

Under certain circumstances a warning notice was displayed while the user was editing a task. This notification did not cause any problems but was not helpful either. So, now there are no more notifications without a clear message for the user while completing a task.

Task descriptions that are displayed in the news stream are now shortened and can be unfolded if the text is very long to avoid too long entries in the Newsstream.

The Chart-Frameworks failed to display the data, at customers that handled a huge amount of information. Therefore the Chart-Framework Item Limitation was removed to prevent issues with the charts in the platform.

In previous versions the translations were not fully adopted in the whole application when the language was changed. Through this update this bug was fixed and all the translations are now displayed correctly when the language settings are changed.

Some minor bug fixes were made in addition to the mentioned bug fixes and features. These include adjustments to the design and text, which generally did not cause any functional bugs.
