Assignments: Annotation tool
An update was made to the annotation tool to version 2024.3.0. This update fixes some defects and updates the icons associated with the tool. Below are the changes that have been made with the old style on the left and new on the right:
Manage Dates Tool: Bulk Edit Intelligent Agents
With this update, users can edit multiple intelligent agents that had previously been set up with a recurring schedule. Users can also use Bulk Edit Dates to add or remove the start or end date for Intelligent Agents or use the Bulk Offset Dates to offset the start/end dates from the Manage Dates tool. This does not apply to agents set to run one time. These agents will still need to be edited via the Intelligent Agent tool.
