New Features Going Live: 3/11/11

As part of our continuous development cycle, we will be releasing new features today. Each feature is described below.

(Beta) New Opens Report For Messages, Deliveries, And Delivery Groups

We have added a new opens report that provides more insight into where, when, and in what kind of email client an open occurred.

Overview Metrics Added To The Overview Page For Delivery Groups

When viewing the overview page for an individual delivery group, you can now see overview metrics for the delivery group at the top of the page.

Resizable Columns In Tables

You can resize table columns by moving your mouse over the edge of the header of the column you want to resize, and then dragging it to the size of your choosing. The columns will remain at this size until you choose to reset them to their default sizes.

Table Column Before Resize

Table Column After Resize

To restore table column widths to their default size:

1. Click the Choose Visible Columns icon.
2. Click Reset Column Sizes.
3. Click Done.

Bug Fixes And Minor Enhancements

Below is a list of all the bugs fixed and minor enhancements made in this development cycle.

• (Beta) When viewing the comparison report for an A/B split test, you can now see the percentage assigned to each split group used in the test.
• In the table on the Outgoing Messages page, each group used in an A/B split test now appears in the table. Previously, all the groups were rolled up under one delivery. You can also see the percentage assigned to each group in the Recipients column.
• If you set a throttle for a delivery, you can now see the throttle you used next to the scheduled start. Next to the sending time, you can also view the percentage of the delivery that has completed (if it is still sending), and the total elapsed time for the delivery (after the delivery has completed).
• (Beta) A message is now sent to users with message approval permissions when a message is pending approval. For more information on message approval, see Enabling Message Approval Prior To Send in help.
• We have significantly increased the rate at which delivery groups refresh and have thus removed the "Last Updated" column from the table on the all delivery groups page.
• Special characters now correctly appear in the message preview on the overview page for an automated message rule.
• You can now pick the three default delivery groups (All Deliveries, Marketing Deliveries, and Transactional Deliveries) when using any of the delivery groups pickers in your account.
• Contacts who have been deleted will no longer appear in the list of contacts shown when selecting which contact to view a dynamic preview for.
• Fixed issue where tables showing deliveries were including deleted deliveries.
• Fixed issue with deleting a list when viewing the page which shows contacts who are on the list.
• Fixed an issue with the Re-generate from HTML version button used in text versions of messages that was causing the text version of messages created using a webpage to show up blank.
• Fixed an issue with the table on the Contact Growth Over Time report showing incorrect metrics.
• Enhancements made to the All Messages page to ensure that it loads more quickly.
• Now if you add a quick link to a specific message folder, the name of the quick link correctly reflects the position of the folder in the folder hierarchy, rather than always saying All Messages. For example, the quick link may say All Messages: SomeFolder/AnotherFolder.
• Fixed an issue with refreshing inbox previews.
• Fixed an issue with deleting footers currently associated with a message.
• Enhancements made to speed up deliveries for accounts using contact frequency caps.
