This update brings major improvements to ALIX security as well as the ability to modify email templates.

News

✯ Redesign of the login page and validation of the email
  1. Several changes have been made to make ALIX even safer.

  2. New login page and reactivation of password change at first login:

  3. New forgotten password page, now only available for users who have validated their email address:

  4. Enhanced profile page:

    1. The profile page allows you to validate your email which will replace your username with this email to simplify your authentication and also will allow you to use the standalone password reset feature.
    2. Eventually, we will also add a multi-factor authentication (MFA) feature and one of the ways will be to use your validated mailbox to identify you securely.
    3. Once an email address is validated, only the primary account holder will be able to change their email address and password for greater security.

  5. In addition, ALIX can now be tried in 30-day free trial mode. Do not hesitate to share the good news with your partners who still do not use ALIX.

✯ Changing default email templates
  1. Since sales orders and purchase orders can be sent directly by email, email templates were static. From now on, you will be able to modify these 4 email templates to adjust them for your needs.
  2. In the ALIX configurations section, a new section called "Email Templates" allows you to view and edit the default email templates. 
  3. An upcoming article will explain in more detail the different codes that can be used to put replaceable keywords in email templates. Here is a short list:
    1. Purchase order
      1. {{vendor_display_name}} : Vendor name
      2. {{po_name}} : Order number
      3. {{buyer_display_name}} : Buyer name
      4. {{plant_company_name}} : Company name associated with the plant on the order
    2. Commande client
      1. {{customer_display_name}} : Customer name
      2. {{so_name}} : Order number
      3. {{user.fullName}} : Name of the user that sent the email
      4. {{plant_company_name}} : Company name associated with the plant on the order
  4. Please note that at the moment it is not possible to create new templates or delete pre-existing ones, but eventually we will improve this aspect as well.
