Product Enhancements

Check this section for minor feature updates and improvements we’ve made to Stavvy!

Small Screen Size Warning 

What changed?:  We’ve added a warning to the annotation editor for smaller screens (768 pixels). Users are informed that smaller screens are not supported and are prompted to switch to a larger screen to annotate documents.

Impacted Users: Notaries/Document Preparers 

Area of the Product: Annotation Editing Experience 

 

 

Template Annotations for Notary & Signer

What changed?: When a template has both notary and signer annotations, the notary annotations are now being applied to the document. Previously the notary annotations were not being applied with the template.

Impacted Users: Notaries

Area of the Product: Annotation Editing Experience

 

Improved View and Editing Document Actions 

What changed?: We adjusted the menu options for packet and meeting documents to make it more obvious when users can only View the documents or can View + Edit the annotations. When a document is in a state that will not support the user editing annotations (such as read-only documents or wet-sign documents) users will see a View option to view the document and all annotation editing is disabled. When users can edit the annotations they will see a View/Edit option instead.

Impacted Users: Title and Settlement Agents

Area of the Product: Meeting & Packet Documents

Bug Fixes

 Whoops - our bad! Here’s the latest list of bugs we’ve squashed.

Meeting Times & Safari Web Browsers

What was fixed?: We fixed an issue with Safari web browsers that was preventing the user from selecting from a list of available meeting times. Now, Safari browser users will see a dropdown list of time increments to select from. This issue did not impact non-Safari web browsers.

Impacted Users: Meeting Creators 

Area of the Product: Meetings

 

Updated IPEN Meeting Error Message for Invalid Attendee Phone Numbers 

What was fixed?: When creating an IPEN meeting, if an attendee's phone number is not in a valid format, we will now display a better error message informing the user the meeting failed to create because the participant's phone number is invalid. Previously we provided a generic error message that made it difficult for end users to fix the problem themselves.

Impacted Users:  Meeting Creators

Area of the Product:  IPEN Meetings

Current:

Message: Error creating meeting. Please contact Stavvy Support

Updated:

Message: Phone number validation failed

 

 

Fixed Issue Creating Meetings with Invalid Participant Email Address

What was fixed?: Users will no longer be able to create meetings when participants have an invalid email address. Valid email addresses will be required for all participants to create the meeting.

Impacted Users:  Meeting Creators 

Area of the Product: RON/IPEN Meetings

 

Last Document in the Document Selector for eSign Getting Cut Off 

What was fixed?: In the annotation editor, the last document in an eSign packet is cut off from the document selector due to the review packet/save and exit bar at the bottom of the screen. This prevents the user from easily seeing the last document on an eSign packet.

Impacted Users: Notaries/Document Preparers

Area of the Product: Annotation Editing Experience 

Current:

Updated:

Edit Signing Window Modal Not Closing as Expected

What was fixed?: Edit signing window Modal will now close when clicking Apply, Cancel or X

Impacted Users: Packet Creators

Area of the Product: Packets

 

Cancelled Tab Displayed and Then Disappearing on Orders Page 

What was fixed?: Cancelled tab will always be present on Orders page regardless if there are cancelled documents or not.

Impacted Users: General Users of this Page 

Area of the Product: Files/Orders Detail Page

Current:

Update: 

Annotation Editor Not Displaying for All Notary Profiles 

What was fixed?: Adding annotations for unapproved notary profiles that are added as the notary for a meeting
