New Features:

Copilot Enhancements

πŸš€ We are offering this new iteration of Copilot to all users as a free preview. Please let us know how you like it!

A preview of an enhanced Copilot was made available to all Element451 users. Copilot, our intelligent assistant, now offers a seamless, intuitive, and conversational interface that allows you to access information and perform actions efficiently through Copilot's chat interface, no matter where you are in Element451. Ask the Copilot to summarize a student record or catch you up on your tasks. Copilot can even assist in completing your work by drafting communications, suggesting next steps, developing outreach strategy, and so much more.


Task Templates

Task Templates are designed to boost your workflow efficiency by enabling quick application of predefined settings to new tasks. Templates can be applied when creating tasks manually or automatically via Rules + Workflows, ensuring uniformity and saving valuable time. Task Templates also extend their utility to subtasks, preserving the structure in multifaceted projects.


Workflow Formulas

Workflow Formulas introduce a dynamic way to manipulate data through custom-calculated fields. Utilizing formulas within the Set User's Custom Date Property, Set User's Custom Property, and Set User's Property actions, this feature offers extensive data manipulation capabilities. It’s a powerful tool for power users and those familiar with our formula syntax, paving the way for advanced, customized data solutions.
