default roles (Program Admin, Program Manager, Customer Executive) are protected and cannot be edited or deleted * Role permissions are viewable without requiring edit access * If maker-checker is enabled, user management follows the same approval flow * Existing customers require an upgrade script to apply default role permission protection ### Dual-Mode Login (Username or Email) * Users can log in and use the "Forgot Password" flow using either their username or email address * Applies to non-LDAP, LDAP, and Cloud authentication * Generic error messages are shown for invalid username/email combinations ### Configurable Password Strength * Password length is now configurable per program * Common or easily guessable passwords are rejected * Passwords with a strength score above 3 are accepted *** ## Member Portal (Storefront) ### Self-Service Hub Members can now register, claim transactions, view history, and initiate redemption through the storefront: * Registration supports: email address, first name, last name, and mobile number (optional) * OTP verification is required upon registration * For existing members, the relation reference must match their email address * Points are displayed in whole numbers only — decimal points are not supported on the member portal *** ## Points ### Conditional Points Release Programs can configure a delay between when points are awarded and when they become redeemable: * A **Date Attribute** and **Delay Time** define when the release begins * Points are awarded per rule engine logic but remain non-redeemable until the delay has elapsed * Only transactions with confirmed status are eligible for redemption ### Post-Transaction Claims Programs can require members to explicitly claim transactions before points are credited: * Configuration sets a **Field to Validate Purchase** and a **Date Attribute** * Once a transaction is claimed by a member, it cannot be re-claimed by anyone * Unclaimed transactions remain in the queue indefinitely ### Campaigns Without Compulsory Points * Campaigns can now be configured to send communications without issuing any points * Audience targeting, delivery logs, and analytics remain fully functional *** ## Tiers ### Manual Tier Update via API * Members can be directly mapped to any tier using a batch API (maximum 1,000 members per request) * Tier bonus is issued after the next tier cron execution * Deleting a higher tier automatically downgrades affected members to the base tier at the next cron run ### Tier Custom Benefits * Non-base tiers can have up to **10 custom benefits** (welcome bonus or point multiplier) * Default values if not set: welcome bonus = 0, point multiplier = 1× * Sequencing of benefits is configurable but functionally irrelevant ### Tier Retention Policy * **Rolling Year** evaluation only — retention does not apply to upgrades * Minimum retention period: **30 days**; maximum: **365 days** * Members remain in their higher tier even if their current points fall below the tier threshold during the retention window *** ## Reporting ### Rule ID and Rule Name in Transaction Columns * Four new optional columns are available in all transactional reports: Rule ID, Rule Name, Rule Group ID, Rule Group Name * These are blank for Tier Bonus, Campaign Bonus, Expiry, and Redemption transactions * These columns do not apply to records from legacy (pre-v7.14) programs ### Claimed/Unclaimed Transaction Reporting * A *"Pending transaction"* filter is available for `transaction_type = 5` * Pending transactions are excluded from accrual and reversal reports * Unclaimed transaction reports are available to users with "Create Rule Engine" permission *** ## Segments ### Extended Filter Capabilities * The same filter can now be applied multiple times in a segment definition * Import/export functionality is supported for segments * Conflicting filters are allowed (e.g., "within 1 day" AND "not within 1 day") * Decimal values are not accepted in numeric filters — integer values only *** ## Rule Engine ### Rule Preview * Before saving a rule, users can preview the point calculation based on the last record in the transaction table * Group and product capping, and anomaly detection are **excluded** from the preview * If no transactions exist, a new transaction can be added for preview purposes * Includes transaction type 5 (pending state) *** ## UI Improvements * **Program Logo:** Images are auto-adjusted for dimensions; images larger than 500×500 require manual crop/zoom * **Pending Transactions on Storefront:** Visible with a *"Credit Pending"* tag regardless of whether the value is positive or negative * **Country Code Rendering:** Configurable per client; France is pre-configured as default for the self-signup registration flow * **Multi-Language Storefront:** Language selection via Weglot configuration; French and English tested; text briefly displays in English before switching
