    OpenSlides 4.1.3 (2024-03-11)

    New features - Parliament mode: Integration of various features and reworks that reflect the specific requirements of a complex speech time management system with time quotas - especially for parliaments.

    • New Structure Level Management: The participant attribute 'Structure Level' has been reworked and expanded. It is now possible to create structure levels and assign color values to them via a new menu. In addition, the management of participants with multiple structure levels has been improved. (Filtering by structure level, assignment via multiple selection) [ATTENTION: Interface changed, PR#1996]
    • IMPORTANT: Existing structure levels are automatically created as new structure levels. If an existing structure level is, for example, in the format "Board, AG Bau, BAG Netzpolitik", then the new structure level is in the same format and is NOT separated. This must be done manually.
    • Speaking time management: Linking of structure levels with configurable speaking time quotas. With the integration of this feature, it is now possible to represent structure levels (e.g. parliamentary groups or coalitions) with their specific speaking time quotas.
    • Speaking time widget: Visualization of all available speaking time quotas (with names of the structure levels and optional color stripes) as a separate widget in the Autopilot. If required, the speaking time quotas can be adjusted in the widget.
    • List of speakers: Participants can be added to a list of speakers multiple times.
    • List of speakers > Point of order: Points of order can be put for other persons. (only for list of speakers admins)
    • List of speakers: Integration of new types of requests to speak: '(parliamentary) interposed question' and an 'intervention'.
    • Overview of speakers: Via the new menu 'Contributions' in the Participants module, it is possible to view all contributions of a meeting, filter/sort them or export them via CSV file.
    • Projectors: Integration of two new projectors to display speaking time quotas; a) display of the current speech with speaking time quota and b) display of all structures with their speaking time quotas.
    • Projectors > Timer: Enhancement of the existing functionality. It is now possible to set a timer (stopwatch).
    • Moderation notes: A new field 'Moderation notes' can be filled in for each agenda item. This content is displayed in the Autopilot under the current list of speakers. A new right controls who can see this field.
    Further features:
    • Motions > Recommendations: The recommendations of motions can be set to not public in the workflow depending on their status.
    • Motions > Metadata: Integration of two new selection fields in the metadata; 'Motion editors' and 'Spokesperson'.
    • Motions: Check for word-for-word match integrated. If there is an equal worded motion text, this will be displayed in the metadata.
    • Voting records: New filter options have been integrated in the voting record (Entitled Users) for motions and elections. These enable filtering by presence at the time of voting and by voter turnout.
    Optimizations:
    • Participant import: New column 'structure_level' added. The new column can be used to add and create new structure levels during import.
    • IMPORTANT: By changing the 'Structure level' attribute, old csv files can no longer be used.
    • Accounts > Detail view: Removal of the 'Default structure level' attribute. Setting/creating structure levels is now only possible at meeting level.

    • Motions > Detail view: Position swap of the metadata submission date and creation date.
    • Motions > Detail view: The visibility of 'Creation date' has been adjusted. The 'Creation date' is now only visible to users with the group right 'Can manage motions'.

    • Motions with amendments > Delete: Deleting a motion with amendments deletes both the motion as well as all amendments.
    • Applications > Creation: When creating an application, the preamble is also displayed.
    • Meeting import: The import of meetings is now only possible as 'Superadmin'.
    • New translations added and various existing formulations optimized.
    • UI: Readability of texts in dark mode, more precisely of texts in fields that are currently being edited, improved.
    • UI: Imprint > Requests to speak: UI optimization of 'Count completed requests to speak'.
    • UI: Imports > Preview: improved display of data and errors.
    Bug Fixes:
    • Accounts: Existing accounts with spaces in the user name can be edited and updated again. The successful creation of the account is confirmed visually and the account is created with a consecutive number after the user name.
    • Creation of users/accounts via lists: Fixed a bug that prevented the creation of user names in a talk list, for example, if an identical user name already existed. The successful creation of the account will be visually confirmed.
    • Participant import > CSV file: Groups can be added or changed again via CSV import
    • Motions > Amendments > Workflow: Preset workflows for amendments that differ from the workflows of the motion are used/displayed correctly again.
