Business Connect release notes

Business Connect platform

Improved application summary PDFs

Customers will now see that all application summary PDFs display the form name and submission date at the top. This ensures users can quickly identify the service and government service provider.

Better screen reader support for success screens

We have resolved a critical accessibility issue where screen readers were not reading confirmation messages on form success or error screens. This update ensures important status messages are properly announced to all users.

FormBuilder.govt

Form metadata now stored for PDF summaries

Customers who keep a pdf summary of their application will now find the form name and submission date included.

FormBuilder now stores this data, though the fields are invisible in the builder and preview modes.

Improved formatting for survey components

If you want to use FormBuilder for surveys, we’ve improved the survey component in this release. You’ll now find it supports long row or column labels and multiple columns, with a maximum of 10 columns displayed and a horizontal scroll. 

Help text has been added to clarify input limits.

New flexible contact options for form help

You can now choose to display an email address, phone number, or both in the 'Need help?' section. This allows for more flexibility when supporting your customers. 

To note, these contact options won’t appear in the generated PDF download of the form.

Improvements

This release includes general improvements such as clearer error messages, improved accessibility for screen readers, better alignment and formatting in form sections, and fixes to ensure help content and required fields display correctly. These updates help make forms easier to build, preview and complete for everyone.
