Highlights

Release Information

The Znode 10.0.2.0 release includes certain enhancements and some minor bug fixes. 

What’s New

Tax Plugin Enhancements

• The tax plugin architecture has been enhanced to introduce a more refined and efficient structure, now applied to both Sales Tax and AvaTax plugins.
• Built-in Plugin Availability:
  • The AvaTax plugin is now available by default in the Installed Plugins section. There is no longer a requirement to install these plugins manually.
• AvaTax Configuration Sets:
  • Configuration sets are now required only for AvaTax. These must be created via the plugin to link tax account credentials, ensuring tax calculations function correctly based on the configured account.
• No Change for Sales Tax Configuration:
  • Sales Tax functionality continues to operate without the need for configuration sets.
• Tax Creation and Association:
  • The process of creating taxes and associating them with stores or products remains consistent with the existing Znode behavior, maintaining backward compatibility and ease of use.

Enhanced URL Routing for User Password Resets and Admin Account Management

• Account Activation:
  • When a user account is enabled, the appropriate URL will be sent in the activation email based on their role:

    • Sales Rep accounts: Receive an "Admin URL".
    • B2B Administrator, Manager, or User accounts: Receive a "Webstore URL".

    • Commerce Portal role: Receives a "Commerce Portal URL" if associated with the account.

    • Commerce Portal role: Receives a "Commerce Portal URL".
    • Users with both Commerce Portal and other roles: Priority given to "Commerce Portal URL".
      
      
  • Portal-Specific Requests: If the user initiates the password reset from a specific portal, the corresponding portal URL (Webstore, Admin, or Commerce Portal) will be sent in the email, based on the portal they used to initiate the reset.
    
    

Note: The #URL# macro in email templates will dynamically insert the appropriate login or reset password URL based on user roles and the portal used for the request.
