September '24 Increment Release notes

System Wide

✨ Display description message from AIP after request

@maja.pilipovic, @mislav.sirac

We’ve implemented an update to display error descriptions from AIP at the endorsement level in email notifications to agents when a coverage request is rejected. The subject and banner color remain the same, but a detailed error message is now included under each rejected endorsement, ensuring agents are informed of the issue. This enhancement applies specifically to email notifications.

✨ Producer label changed on Admin Panel

@maja.pilipovic, martina.bosnjak

In response to feedback from our agents, we have made label changes to improve clarity when adding or editing a producer on the Admin panel. These updates aim to provide clearer guidance and make the process more intuitive for agents. The labels have been updated according to the attached reference. Additionally, an info icon has been added next to the "Principal Contact (Agent)" label. When hovering over the icon, a message will be displayed: "Notification will be sent on behalf of the agent who is set up as Principal contact."

This update was implemented based on agent requests, showing our commitment to enhancing usability and addressing user needs.

🔧 Improvements

  • 🐛 We’ve fixed the issue where users could attempt to save preferences without entering a valid phone number. Now, the submit button is disabled until a valid phone number is entered, with a tooltip message prompting, "Please enter a valid phone number." Additionally, the issue where the submit container was incorrectly positioned below the footer has been resolved, ensuring proper page layout. @marin.ladovic

LGM

✨ LGM Price Report

@maja.pilipovic, @filip.cogelja, @luka.trdina

We’ve introduced a new option to send price reports for the LGM insurance plan, helping you stay informed about the latest prices and make well-informed decisions. "My Account" preferences now include settings for LGM price reports, currently available for Dairy and Cattle, with future support for Swine. Reports can be sent via email and configured for weekly or daily delivery based on your preference. Reports will be sent if you opt in to receive LGM price reports and set up your Price Report Preferences.

For Daily reports, the report is based on Estimated Prices and is sent every day, except on Thursdays when official prices are provided. The price difference is calculated based on the last available estimated price.

For Weekly reports, the report is based on Official Prices and is sent only on Thursdays. The price difference is calculated based on the previous official offers.

121221

Under "My Account" preferences, users can opt in or out of receiving LGM price reports. If "NO" is selected, the price report will not be sent, with the default state set to "NO" until preferences are configured. A reminder will be displayed prompting users to set up their Price Report Preferences if not already configured.

✨ Indemnity display on the LGM Endorsement Chart

@maja.pilipovic, @martina.bosnjak

We’ve implemented changes to the LGM endorsement chart to ensure consistency with other insurance plans. Previously, displaying indemnity in green was misleading. Now, the chart will display only positive indemnity in green, and if the indemnity is negative, it will not be shown. This update improves clarity and aligns the LGM endorsement chart with the display logic of other plans.

✨ Updated Label Names for Binding Request Statuses

@maja.pilipovic, @marin.ladovic, @luka.trdina

We’ve simplified and updated the binding request status labels for clarity:

  • "Sign Sent to Agent" is now "DocuSign Sent to Agent"

  • "Sign Sent to Producer" is now "DocuSign Sent to Producer"

  • "SignAgentSigned" is now "Agent Signed"

  • "SignProducerSigned" is now "Producer Signed"

  • "RmaRejected" is now "RMA Rejected"

  • "RmaAccepted" is now "RMA Accepted"

These label changes are now reflected in the interface for improved clarity.

LRP

✨ Upgraded logic of assigning Production tags

@maja.pilipovic, @luka.trdina, @filip.cogelja

We’ve implemented restrictions to ensure production tags are correctly assigned to commodities when requesting coverage or adding/editing an LRP endorsement. Now, production tags are tied directly to their corresponding commodities. For Feeder or Fed Cattle, only Cattle production tags can be selected, while for Swine, only Swine production tags are available. Additionally, only active production tags can be selected, which are tags where the "Last Shipping Date" is later than the Sales Effective Date. This update applies solely to production tags, ensuring proper assignment.

✨ Displaying Message for Unavailable Sales on Premium Quoter

@maja.pilipovic, @luka.trdina, @martina.bosnjak

We’ve implemented a feature to notify users when sales are unavailable for a specific commodity on any sales effective date. On the premium quoter, the commodity and type from user preferences will still be displayed. However, if there are no prices available for the selected preferences, a message will now appear stating: "Sales Closed for <CommodityName>: <EventName>."

When sales are closed for the selected commodity, users can only select the date, commodity, and type, while other filters will remain empty. The price grid below the filters will also be empty to reflect that no sales are available for the selected options.

🔧 Improvements

  • 🐛 We’ve fixed the issue where SMS notifications for LRP alerts were displaying the incorrect end date. Previously, the SMS notification showed the end date of the date range defined in the price alert instead of the actual end date of the price. Now, when an LRP alert is triggered, the SMS notification will display the correct end date that corresponds with the triggered price.

For example, if the coverage price ends on March 13, 2025, the SMS will correctly show "March 13, 2025" instead of the alert’s date range end. Email notifications remain unaffected. @mislav.sirac

  • 🐛 We fixed the issue where commodities could be selected when no sales were available on certain days. This affected the LRP insurance plan under both the "Production" tab when adding new groups and the "Market Dynamics" tab when adding new alerts. Now, commodities are correctly filtered based on sales availability, ensuring that only those with sales are selectable when adding Production tags or alerts. @luka.trdina

  • 🐛 We’ve fixed the issue where the wrong sales closing time was displayed on the LRP calendar. Now, when navigating to the Market Dynamics Calendar tab under the LRP insurance plan and selecting a specific date (e.g., September 13th, 2024), the correct sales closing time of 08:30 AM CT is displayed in the calendar details. @marin.ladovic

LIA Mobile app for iOS

@patrick.ruzman

We’ve implemented several updates for the mobile app to enhance the user experience:

  • Introduced the "Report an issue" feature, available under the Account page. This option allows users to send logs directly for faster and more efficient bug resolution. When clicked, it automatically opens an email with a file attached containing the relevant logs.
