New feature: UserEcho portal.
We're preparing to release our brand new portals for UserEcho ant it is in pre-release stage. You can see how it works on our own support portal https://feedback.userecho.com or our blog https://blog.userecho.com.
You also can check how it works for you! Go to your Project Settings. -> UserEcho Update. The feature will convert your community to all new UserEcho Support Center (we call it Portal). But no worries, only you will be see that for now. Your users will work with your current community.
Some features are not available for now but here is the list what you can expect:
1. Now you have DEV and PROD version of your portal. You can make any changes, check how it looks and release for your users only when you like it!
2. Three steps of customization of your Portal:
- Easy configuration via settings (Beginner level)
- Additional customization via CSS and JS similar to our current Custom CSS/JS functionality. (Intermediate level)
- Full templates customization. You can virtually change everything and make it looks exact like your own website! (Advanced level)
3. Custom translations. You will be able to translate every word as you want or replace any sentence to your own. (not released yet)
We are still working to add documentation but you already can play with the feature and send your feedback to us to make it even better before release!
Feel free to contact us with any concern.

New feature: New custom field type - HTML.
We've added a new custom field type - HTML. The field will have an Editor to edit the value. The value will be processed as HTML. It allows you to add some formatted information to your user's profiles or topics. We would recommend to allow adit such type of fields to support agents only.

New feature: Custom links
Now you are able to create custom links which will be processed and redirect users to another link in your community.
For example, you have an article "How to reset password" with some long link https://feedback.userecho.com/en/knowledge-bases/10/articles/7913-how-to-reset-your-userecho-password and you would like to publish some shorter link to the article (e.g. some paper materials). You can create a custom link https://feedback.userecho.com/links/password-reset which easier to remember and will redirect users to the article.
You can find these settings in your Project settings -> Project -> SEO -> Custom links
New feature: Reports data related with your SLA settings.
As you know you can see your support agents reaction on users requests in our reports ("Time to first reply" and "Time to complete request"). Until today you saw information that was calculated from the post date. But if your support agents do not work 24x7 you cannot understand how fast they actually reacted to the ticket. Now you can!
First, you need to setup your Business Hours (Project settings -> Project -> Business hours). Then you can see additional information on reports that calculated depends on your Business Hours for new tickets.
Example: A user sent request in 2:00 a.m. You business Hours start at 8:00 a.m. and your support agent replied to the request at 8:05 a.m.
In data related on time of creation you will see first reply time as 6:05 for the ticket. But in the SLA related data you will see 0:05 for the same ticket because it was answered in first 5 minutes of working time.
