✨ Module information — Updated module version details in administration so they stay aligned with release notes.
✨ Improved — Added automated checks that confirm the permit lifecycle stages (including invalid, released, active and expiry) and the security protections (signed verification codes, guest-link validation, and safe document uploads) behave correctly before release.
???? Module update reliability — Fixed an issue where updating Accounting and Bookkeeping could fail on environments that had a newer version already recorded in the database.
✨ Improved — You can now save and edit draft permit requests, withdraw submitted requests, resubmit after revision, attach required documents, and verify issued permits online. All twelve permit types route to the correct approvers, financial clearance is enforced before approval, and overdue approvals are escalated automatically.

???? Module description text — Fixed garbled characters (such as â€â€) in module descriptions on the Modules screen; titles and summaries now display the proper dash and accented letters in English and Portuguese.
✨ Improved — Each pending approval's service-level status (on track, at risk, or overdue) is now updated automatically in the background, so reports and dashboards show aging instantly, and an approval is flagged "at risk" only once it has used 80% of its allowed time.
✨ Module information — Updated module version details in administration so they stay aligned with release notes.
✨ Clearer module description — The Advanced Modules screen now explains that Accommodation covers guest assignments, meals, check-in and check-out, and occupancy reporting.
???? Document Preview — Approved permits can now be previewed in the browser before download: the issued document is shown inline with Download, Print, Verify, and Back actions, straight from the permit page.
???? Fixed — Permits past their validity window now close automatically once a day, recording the change in the permit history and notifying the requestor, and the daily expiry reminders and approval summary are now sent once per day instead of repeating throughout the day.
✨ Module information — Updated module version details in administration so they stay aligned with release notes.
???? Document Templates — Administrators can manage permit document layouts and field mappings, publishing new versions when layouts change.
✨ Modules Listing — Improved how Advanced Email Templates appears on the Modules screen with a clearer description shown in your language.
✨ Improved — Approved permits are now issued as a downloadable document that carries a scannable QR code and verification link, so anyone can confirm a permit on the spot. Verification now distinguishes an approved permit whose dates have not started yet from one that is currently active, and the staff verification page shows the full permit details and approval history.
???? Approval Delegation — Approvers now have a dedicated screen to delegate their approval authority to a colleague for a date range, see their current and past delegations, and revoke an active delegation at any time.

???? Module Upgrade — Fixed an issue where updating Building Management stopped during the Permits Management database setup because of a conflicting database rule name.
???? Fixed — Permit reference numbers and issued permit numbers are now allocated reliably per mall, so two requests created at the same moment can never be given the same number. Re-issuing a permit after a revision keeps its original permit number.
???? Configurable Approval Routing — Administrators can now define custom approval chains per permit type (optionally per mall) on a new Approval Routing Rules screen, including running approvals in parallel. When no rules are set, the built-in routing continues to apply, so nothing changes unless you choose to customise it.
???? Report Export — The SLA / aging report and the permit volume report can now be exported to a spreadsheet (CSV) with one click for offline review and sharing.
✨ Improved — Permit activity events now carry consistent tracking details (a unique reference and a correlation id) so connected systems and integrations receive complete, traceable, non-duplicated updates.
???? Fixed — The public permit verification link and external guest submission form now open and submit correctly without errors, and notification settings labels display fully in English and Portuguese.

✨ Improved — The public permit verification page and the external guest pages now carry a branded header with the company logo and a footer, so they read as official pages rather than a plain standalone form.
✨ Improved — Permit requests now track how many times they have been returned for revision, record the reason category when a request is marked invalid, and apply financial clearance according to each permit type's policy (required, conditional, or not applicable).
???? Release notes tables — Fixed release notes history tables in the module viewer so rows and columns display correctly instead of appearing as broken or merged text.
✨ Improved — Dashboard counts, SLA aging reports, permit type catalogue, approver assignments, and notification settings are now available from the Permits Management menu.
???? Changed — A request marked as invalid now has its own clear status, separate from a rejected request, and its reason category is recorded. The permit lifecycle also recognises the released and active stages once a permit has been issued.
???? Fixed — Permit request pages, the type catalogue, and settings screens now open without errors, and draft or submit actions return clear validation messages instead of failing silently.
???? Fixed — A brand-new installation of Permits Management now sets up all of its records completely, so a fresh install works the same as one that was upgraded from an earlier version.
✨ Module information — Updated module version details in administration so they stay aligned with release notes.
???? Fixed — The public permit verification page now displays with readable styling and permit details, and Verify Permit is available from the Permits Management menu with the standard admin layout.
✨ Improved — The QR code on an issued permit is now digitally signed, so the verification page can confirm a scanned code is genuine and warn if it is not. A permit document that has been altered on file can no longer be downloaded.
???? Fixed — Staff assigned to specific malls now only see and open permits for those malls, both in the approvals queue and when opening a permit directly; central report viewers and administrators continue to see all malls.
???? Guest Submissions — Staff can invite external contractors to submit permit requests through a secure one-time link without signing in.

???? Fixed — Permit alert links in the notification bell now open the correct request page, and each alert shows the full requestor, subject, reference number, and date details.
???? Fixed — The public permit-verification page and the guest submission links are now rate-limited per visitor, preventing automated guessing of permit numbers or links.
✨ Advanced Modules — Added a clear description for Engineering & R&D on the Advanced Modules screen so teams can see what the module offers before activating it.
???? Fixed — Permit notifications no longer arrive twice (returning a request for revision and approving a permit each now send a single notice), permit emails now carry the correct subject for every event instead of a generic one, and the Mall Finance Manager is now notified when a permit is held for an outstanding balance.
✨ Modules Listing — Improved how API Services V2 appears on the Modules screen with a clearer description shown in your language.
