What's New

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) using Twilio Verify

Relying on just usernames and passwords to secure your online accounts is no longer considered safe. Data breaches occur daily and hackers are always inventing new ways to take over your accounts. Protect yourself by enabling two-factor authentication (2FA). This blocks anyone using your stolen data or guessing your credentials by verifying your identity through your device. Speak with us to enable 2FA on your W5 to protect your data.  

More information about 2FA can be found here: What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Notifications

SMS Text Messages and Outbound Voice Calling

Using Twilio.com, W5 can now send text messages using the Action Trigger system. 

This can be used to contact anyone with a phone number.  For instance, send SMS text messages or make voice calls to Providers, Clinics, or even Claimants for appointment reminders. 

Contact us via the Support portal for assistance in setting this up.

* A Twilio account is required.  The cost for sending text messages and making calls is billed directly to you from Twilio.

Documents

Document Library

A New button is now available that allows you to create an empty template directly from the Document Library.  Just specify the document type and then press the New button to have W5 create a blank template for you.

RPX Document Template Format

RPX Templates can be used to create Enhanced document templates that allow for precise placement capability for text and fields.

Reporting Enhancements

Reports Tab

The Standard and Custom Reports now show on their own Reports tab within W5.  With this enhancement, both standard and custom reports have been segmented to keep the reports contained and easily accessed and allow any of them to be added as a shortcut to the quick access bar. Use the Refresh Reports button to refresh the list as permissions to new reports are granted.

Standard and Custom report categories are listed for each.

Run a Report to Email

You can now have W5 run the report in the background and emailed to you while you finish other work in W5.  No more waiting for reports to finish.

Other Enhancements 

Within a Custom report, simpler criteria selection per field can be added.

Previous Version

NEW Version

RPX Report Template Format

RPX Templates can be used to create Custom report templates that allow for precise placement capability for text and fields.  This can be very useful for preprinted forms.

User Security Enhancements 

User password lengths can now be up to 200 characters long and must be a minimum length of 8 characters.  Additionally, there is no longer an option to turn off password complexity rules.  All passwords must now meet the below requirements.

Show Hidden Codes

A new option to show hidden (Not Visible) codes within the Search pop-up from within the Maintenance forms.
