This release puts most of its effort into billing and invoicing, AI, tickets, integrations, and asset management. It adds recurring-billing controls, broader AI configuration and search options, asset workflows, and changes to several integration behaviours and APIs.
The largest changes include enhanced ticket to-do lists, PII detection and redaction, Amazon Bedrock and built-in OpenSearch support, portal dashboards, asset workflows, and ConnectWise RMM v2 support. Administrators should also review removed ticket API fields and other integration or configuration changes before upgrading.
Before you upgrade
Check these while you're still on 2.236: things removed or working differently afterwards.
- 1.Review integrations and synchronisation processes that use fields removed from the tickets API, including cost, invoice, quote, audit and third-party integration fields.
- 2.Review ConnectWise RMM v2 changes and record current site and field mappings before switching, because the switch clears mappings, removes alert webhooks and cannot be reversed.
- 3.Check notification trigger intervals above 10,000 and reduce them before upgrading.
- 4.Identify runbooks using the unsupported trigger option that will be removed and revise their workflow configuration.
- 5.Review payment-processing-fee invoice payments that currently sync to accounts integrations, because those payments will temporarily stop syncing.
After you upgrade
New features that do nothing until someone switches them on.
- 1.Enable enhanced to-do lists in ticket settings to provide the redesigned tab, reordering and completion and ownership details.
- 2.Enable PII detection in Configuration > Users > General Settings and configure permissions, automations and ticket types for review and redaction.
- 3.Create an Amazon Bedrock API key and configure the AI connection with its AWS Region and default model.
- 4.Switch hosted instances to the built-in OpenSearch connection for AI vectors and re-index records after changing the vector database.
- 5.Enable portal access to selected ticket dashboards and configure the relevant column profiles and dashboard tabs.
- 6.Enable asset workflows and configure conditional steps, custom buttons, runbook automations and asset-type workflow behaviour.
