New Release Notes every three weeks!

	We are listening! Items with this label are a result of your suggestions in uInnovate. Please continue to share and support those ideas that help your business.
	Items with this label are features that may require adjustments to security or configuration and may have implications for your operations or current workflows. We recommend reading these and understanding the impact prior to updating.

Elite Cloud File Storage: 

As we move Elite Cloud to a more modern platform, the storage of files that would otherwise be on the server drive (for things like attachments, instructions, pictures, etc.) will be moved to cloud storage. Users will be able to access these records from a left menu option called ‘File Management’ that has its own security controls. Over the next several months, we will be migrating users in groups. An email will go out the day before you are migrated informing you. For more information, please reference the uLearn article: File Management Overview in Elite.

DL Scanners with Cloud Bridge: 

 Driver’s license scanners, like printers, can now be mapped through Cloud Bridge. This eliminates the need for a VPN to maintain the scanner functionality and is part of the broader modernization efforts Elite is undergoing. It is also required for all of our cloud-hosted customers to move their DL scanners to the new Cloud Bridge mapping before February 13, 2026, or risk loss of functionality.  If you need assistance, please reach out so we can create a ticket to help you with this process. To learn more, please see the article Driver's License Scanners With Cloud Bridge.

Unified Storefront - Display ItemKey for Rental Items on Product Pages:

You can now see the ItemKey on the Product Display Page for rental items in Unified Storefront, helping you match products to the same key used in the webProducts API. The ItemKey appears under the SKU when available.

Quiklinks Find to Correct Transaction Even After Quotes Become Reservations:
Elite now notifies the Consumer Portal when a contract ID changes (such as quote to reservation), so payment Quiklinks keep pointing to the current contract without store intervention. This maintains link validity across contract lifecycle changes and reduces customer errors. 

Ask AI from the Item page in Elite:
There is now an Ask AI prompt from the Item page in the Elite browser view.  Once an item is selected in the search list, it will display on the left with a green ‘Ask AI’ button. The prompt will include the make, model, year and a list of preset questions or a free type field for a question of the user’s choice.  This is useful when needing to search common troubleshooting steps or details when working on a piece of equipment. For more information, please see the article Item AI.  

Multi-select and unlocked filters on Items for Vendor when building POs:
The Items for Vendor grid now includes a Select checkbox column to allow users greater control over which items get added to the Purchase Order.  The action button updates to Add Selected Items to PO when boxes are checked, otherwise it reverts to the original behavior of adding all items with reorder quantities. Selecting multiple items will also suppress quantity/price prompts and default to a quantity of one when no reorder quantity exists. This gives additional functionality to streamline large stock orders without losing existing behavior. For more information on Multi-select and vendor files, see article Items from Vendor.

See On Hand and Sell Price directly on the PO grid:
The PO writing grid now shows an On Hand column after Case Qty and a Sell Price column after Ext Price for faster decisions. Sell Price updates in real time when you use the right click option to Update Sell Price on a line.  This information is useful for making more educated ordering decisions.

Choose item images directly from S3:
On S3-enabled systems, Item File and Item Availability image pickers now offer a From S3 option that opens your S3 explorer and downloads the file in the background for import. Non-S3 systems continue to use the standard From File option with no changes.

Reliable API paging for contracts and items:
We fixed an issue where paging through large contract sets could return duplicates or stop early due to non-deterministic ordering. Results now use consistent sorting, so you can page through all records without missing or repeating data.

Payment receipt prompt preselects OK for faster checkout:
The email payment receipt screen once again preselects OK, letting you advance with Enter and move through payment steps more quickly. This restores prior behavior.

Disable Change Posting Date when using API-integrated accounting:
When your accounting export method is set to use an integrated API method, the Change Posting Date will be disabled in the Transactions file through File Maintenance.  This functionality is not supported in these export methods.

Open To Do Files directly from the Maintenance schedule and dashboard :
The ability to view ‘To Do’ files in the Maintenance UI has been restored for cloud hosted users that have recently had their files migrated to a cloud repository.

Language-aware Text QuikLink sending from the Print screen:
The SMS Text screen now includes a language selector that preloads the language chosen on the Print screen, making it faster to send localized messages. When you send a message containing {CONTRACTQUICKLINK}, the link is generated and translated to the language selected at send time.

Memory Lane Monday: This is a fun corner where we republish release notes from previous sprints you may have forgotten about.

Twilio Notifications from Dispatch Center: Twilio users now have the option of enabling Twilio SMS notifications from the dispatch center. To utilize this, users must be using Twilio and dispatch notifications must be enabled. There are checkboxes to enable this on both the customer notification and dispatcher notification tabs in dispatch parameters. The e-mail notifications will continue to work as they always have. To learn more about Dispatch notifications, see articles Dispatch Parameters | Customer Notifications and Dispatch Parameters - Dispatcher Notifications.

Consumer Portal Bulk off-rent setting: Last cycle we introduced the ability to off-rent portions of the bulk items. We changed the default entry to the number still available and allowed the customer to modify it from there. (Advanced Consumer Portal Users)
