User Management
Up until this point, Breadboard has required the dev team to make any edits to users on the backend. With this update, anyone on the team will be able to make updates!
RFQ "Select All" Bug
When creating an RFQ and there are multiple BOMs in a project, if you press "select all" this will deselect any previous selections. This would mean having to go back and reselect all lines items.
Highlighted Elements in Light Mode
As a user viewing Breadboard in light mode, the highlight color for partial matches was too similar to the light mode background to clearly see the differences.
Users that activate light mode, will more easily see the highlighted elements.
Search Icon
The search button icon not responding when trying to use it.
As a user, you will be able to press "Enter" or press the magnifying glass button. This will make Breadboard easier to use for which ever route works best for you!
