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

Hey there,

We're excited to introduce ClearPoint Strategy version 16.5.53! This release focuses on reliability improvements to keep your reporting and notification workflows running smoothly.

Here's what's new in this release:

📧 Reminder Emails Now Send Reliably An issue that caused workflow reminder emails to send multiple times to the same recipients has been resolved. Automated reminders now go out once, as intended — keeping your team's inbox clean and your reporting workflows on track.

📁 Chart Exports Now Include the Correct File Extension Exporting a chart whose name contains a period (such as "Q1 vs. Q2") now correctly includes the file extension (PNG, JPEG, etc.) in the downloaded file. Previously, the export would download without an extension, requiring users to manually rename the file before opening it.
