🌟📊 November Update: Enhancing System Stability at Avicenna

As November draws to a close, we at Avicenna Research are excited to share the specific updates and enhancements we've implemented. Our focus this month has been on making our platform more stable and efficient.

Hello Fabulous Avicenna Community,

🚀 New Features and User Experience Improvements

Public Triggering Logic: We now enable you to conduct surveys that allow for anonymous participation, eliminating the need for participants to create an account. This feature simplifies the process for both you and the survey participants, focusing on ease of access while maintaining privacy.
- Find more about this feature on our Learn website.
Streamlined Table Sorting: We've resolved the sorting issues in the Participation page tables. Now, when you sort data, the changes accurately reflect in the UI, allowing for more effective data management.
Accurate Participant App Button Captions: We've resolved the issue of displaying the survey name instead of the button caption. Now the button caption matches your settings in the Activity Editor.

🔧 Technical and Functional Updates

Consistent Activity Naming: We've addressed an issue where some activity names in the Research Dashboard, particularly for draft activities, weren't displaying correctly on the Activity Editor. Now these names match, enabling better and more efficient activity management.
Enhanced Data Export Email Templates: We've revised our data export email templates to provide detailed information about the exported data, including the type, format, and a link to download the data. You can now easily download the data directly through your email inbox, without signing into your account.
Self-referenced Placeholders in Surveys: Following your feedback, we fixed an issue causing incorrect values for self-referenced placeholders in surveys. Placeholders now work properly on both the Publish and Preview pages of your Activity Editor and on the participant’s app.

🛠️ Stability and Performance Fixes

Survey Display and Response Stability: We've fixed issues that affected the display of image answers in surveys and prevented crashes on the Activity Responses page, enhancing the reliability of survey interactions.
Reliable Audio Playback in Surveys: We've addressed audio playback issues in survey questions to ensure consistent and clear audio across different devices, improving the participant experience.
Duplicating Filters: We’ve fixed the issue with duplicating filters which resulted in an error. Now you can duplicate your filters smoothly and manage your data more efficiently.

🌟 User Interface Enhancements

Notification Template Display: We've resolved the error with the visual representation of Notification Templates on the Activities page. Now, a specific icon shows the means of communication, providing a simple summary at a glance.
Improved Editor Usability: We've added a scrollbar in the Activity Editor for the contents of your activity. This enables efficient navigation through extended content, providing a visual cue of the content's length and improving your experience using the editor.
Changing Email Address on Your Profile: We’ve resolved the error encountered when reloading the page after changing your email address. Now, you can seamlessly reload pages and navigate to others after an email address change.
