🚀 ClearPoint Next 16.5.53 Release Highlights!

Hey there,

We're excited to announce ClearPoint Next version 16.5.53! This release brings meaningful new capabilities around plan management and user experience, alongside a strong wave of reliability and consistency improvements across the platform.

Here's what's new:

✨ Newly Available in CP Next

👥 Full Names in Multi-User Picklist Fields Custom multi-user picklist fields now display full user names by default in pods, reports, and exports — consistent with how the Collaborators field has always worked. No more hovering to see who's who.

🔧 Enhancements and Fixes Across the Platform

Navigation & Scorecards

• The breadcrumbs dropdown menu now displays all available navigation options correctly, restoring full navigation from element detail pages
• The Manage Scorecards page now updates immediately when scorecards are created, duplicated, or deleted — no refresh required
• Scorecards now load reliably on the Manage Scorecards page for accounts with large scorecard counts

Manage Pages & Elements

• The Objectives page and other element list pages now load correctly on first click
• By Scorecard User roles (Admin, Editor, Updater) can now access element options menus as expected
• Scorecard-specific element naming conventions now take proper precedence over general custom element names

Edit Drawer & Saving

• Changes made in the Edit Drawer — whether on the Edit Fields tab or Update Fields tab — now save correctly and consistently
• Confirmation messages after saving now display as expected, rather than showing unformatted code text
• Milestone status updates made from the edit drawer and milestone card now apply and persist as expected

Fields & Custom Fields

• Custom category names defined in Account Settings now translate consistently throughout the application — including in the edit drawer, category modals, and wherever categories are referenced
• Status icon fields now display only the statuses selected for that field, rather than showing all available statuses
• Custom multi-user picklist fields now show full user names by default across all views — pods, reports, and exports

Charts & Data

• Chart line stroke styles (such as dotted or dashed) now save and display correctly in both the chart preview and on the detail page

Reports & Exports

• Data Grid pods now respect the account's default rows-per-page setting, improving load performance for accounts with large datasets
• The element type dropdown in Data Grid pods no longer includes Milestone as a selectable option, since milestones do not support reports
• Hidden element types no longer appear as options in Data Grid report type dropdowns
• Dashboard reports now display both the chart name and the associated measure name, making it easier to distinguish between charts that share the same name
• The rows-per-page selector in Data Grid reports now reflects the selected value correctly
• Report filters now retain the selected element type when a field is chosen, rather than reverting to the default

Kanban View

• Drag-and-drop position changes in the Kanban board now save and persist correctly when navigating away and returning to the board

Automation & Notifications

• Notification rules with specific field-equals criteria now save and persist correctly — previously, custom criteria would revert to "any change" after saving

System Setup & Admin

• Archived reporting periods are now hidden by default on the Manage Periods page, consistent with how archived scorecards are handled — keeping the view clean and focused on active periods
• Custom field filtering on action items now works correctly
• Adding new snapshots in ClearPoint Next now works as expected

Accessibility

• Clicking the accessibility option from your profile icon now correctly opens the accessibility plugin within ClearPoint Next, rather than redirecting to ClearPoint Classic
• An issue that caused accessibility mode to become permanently cached — leading to slow page loads, focus indicators appearing on all elements, and typing issues — has been resolved
