pending notification emails include these requests *** ## Points & Expiry ### Updated Bulk Expiry API * The `ProcessExpiredPoints` API has been deprecated and replaced by `ProcessBulkExpiredPoints` * Quarterly expiry can now be triggered in **any month** within the expiry window — previously it required triggering at the start of the quarter ### OTP Length Configuration * OTP length is now configurable via the `OTPLength` config variable (valid range: 4–8 characters) * Defaults to **4 characters** if the configured value is outside the valid range * Affects `GenerateOTP` and `GenerateOTPByRelationReference` APIs (Login and Activation OTP types) * OTPs are encrypted in the database and decrypted before sending *** ## Reporting ### Automated Monthly Transaction Report * Monthly and quarterly transaction reports are auto-generated for programs on a scheduled cron * Handles up to **1 million members** in approximately 10 minutes * Configurable API parameters: Program ID and recipient email address ### Transaction History Date Filters * Date range filters added to member transaction history with pagination and a rows-per-page selector * Initial display shows the last 5 transactions; users can search by processing date * **Pending transactions** (transaction\_type = 5) are now visible in the member transaction summary on the admin portal * SFTP log improvements: row count tooltip on hover for successful logs; download option available for all statuses (Successful, Failure, Incomplete) *** ## Redemption ### On-Behalf Redemption Authorised admin users can now redeem on behalf of members: * Requires *"edit platform configuration"* permission to configure the storefront URL * Three member permissions required: **View Member Details**, **View Member**, and **On Behalf of Redemption** * Member must have Active status * Audit log is created when the admin accesses the member's account on behalf * A confirmation email is sent to the member upon redemption * Transaction narration: *"Redemption GiftCard"* * Reports include a new *"On Behalf User"* column showing the username of the admin who performed the redemption * *"On behalf redemption"* filter shows only on-behalf activity; *"Debit by redemption"* includes both standard and on-behalf transactions *** ## Segments * Segment names must now be **unique** (case-insensitive); attempting to create a duplicate name returns an error * The **Tag** field has been removed from segment creation and all selection interfaces * Existing segments continue to function without changes *** ## Rule Engine ### Recurring Date Attributes Three new attribute types for time-based rules: * **Day of Week** * **Month of Year** * **Day of Month** These can be used in rule conditions and are compatible with existing date logic and reward calculations. They apply to rules only — not to rule groups. *** ## Programme Settings ### Abbreviated Number Formatting * A new **"Enable Abbreviated Numbers"** toggle is available under Program Settings → Points Definition → Point Terminology & Rates * When enabled: points are displayed as K (thousands), M (millions), B (billions) on the storefront * When disabled: points display in standard numeric format *** ## Naming Flexibility * Programs, products, and rules can now share names — internal IDs remain unique * Duplicate segment names are still rejected; all other entity names now allow duplicates *** ## PII in Reports * A new **Advance Config setting** (admin-only, program-level) allows email and phone number to be included in member reports * This setting is a **one-time enablement** and cannot be reversed * Only users with report creation permission can export reports that include PII data
