New features

Import discount tables from Spec

Discount tables in the DISX file format can now be imported in General discounts, making it easy to move from Spec to Aline without manually re-entering discounts.

• Imported discounts create a new revision in unpublished status, preserving previous revisions.
• Discounts for manufacturers not enabled for the team are skipped during import.

SIF import diagnostics

When line items are found in the catalog during a SIF import but can't be matched 100% on product options, a new diagnostics dialog opens and asks how to resolve the mismatch before continuing.

You have two options:

• Import as catalog-connected line items — unmatched options are filled with default options.
• Import as custom line items — line items remain custom and are not linked to catalogs.

Highlight incomplete line items

Aline now flags line items missing a list price or Text Option Response (TOR) in Calculate so incomplete data stands out.

• A warning icon appears on the affected line in the Calculate grid.
• Warnings bubble up to section headings in the right-panel vertical form.
• Clicking the icon takes you straight to the field that needs attention.

The old Status column has been replaced with a Type column showing whether a line item is connected or custom. Both the new Messages column and the Type column can be hidden for a cleaner view.

Product thumbnails

Product thumbnails are now shown in three places, making it easier to identify which product each line represents at a glance:

• A new thumbnail column in the Calculate and Presentation grids (toggle in Calculate; tied to the Product image setting in Presentation).
• The part number autocomplete dropdown as you type.
• Next to the selected product in the Quick Add form.

Click any thumbnail for a larger preview.

Percentage rounding controls

Percentage values in Calculate and Presentation now support flexible decimal rounding, so you control the level of detail displayed.

Calculate

• Percentages default to 2 decimals for a cleaner view.
• Use the rounding checkbox to toggle between 2 decimals and the full 5-decimal precision when exact figures are needed.

Presentation

• Choose to display 0, 1, or 2 decimals in both card and grid views — applied during setup and in published presentations.
• The same 0/1/2 decimal setting is available in the print dialog, so printed presentations match your preferred precision.

New settings dialog

A new Settings dialog has been added to Aline. A cog-wheel icon now sits next to the Team section in Lobby, giving quick access to a dedicated dialog for managing application settings.

Improvements

• Custom line item cards now show part number and description. Custom lines in the Presentation card view display their part number and description fields just like catalog-connected lines, so manually entered items no longer appear blank.
• One-click dismiss for floating messages in Calculate. Inline notification and info messages in the Calculate grid now close on the first click instead of requiring two.
• Higher contrast for warning icons. The TOR warning icon and other status indicators in Calculate use a stronger color and corrected background, so they stand out clearly against the row.
• Stable field widths in forms. Editable fields in the right-panel vertical form no longer change width when switching between view and edit.
• Restored "Show all columns" toggle. The control to reveal hidden columns in the Calculate grid is responsive again and correctly toggles default-hidden columns.
• Cleaner default column order in discount tables. The General discounts table opens with a more useful default column order, reducing the need to reconfigure on every visit.

Fixes

• Login no longer loops on local sign-in. A redirect issue that could trap users in a repeated login flow has been resolved.
• Tags 3–5 visible in Presentation grid view. Enabling Tag 3, 4, or 5 in the Presentation grid now correctly shows the columns.
• Unchecking "Product image" no longer hides every card. Toggling the product image option in Presentation now hides only the image, instead of making the entire card list disappear due to a serialization bug.
• Product image spinner no longer hangs. The thumbnail loader now recovers from image fetch errors instead of spinning indefinitely.
