V3.6.0.98 (23.04.2025)

New Features:
  • Domain change to "yourname".myhelm.app (please note this will log all users out. It's advisable to carry this out outside working hours)
  • Auto Update Infrastructure for Helm WMS
    A new auto update infrastructure has been introduced. Helm WMS can now automatically update to the latest version, ensuring all users benefit from the newest features and fixes without manual intervention.
  • Updated Helm Dashboard Graph
    The Dashboard graph has been redesigned with scrolling support and now displays daily statistics for despatched orders, created orders, and total sales. A refresh button is also available to update the data in real-time.
  • New Cost-Based Stock Value History Report
    A new report titled Cost-Based Stock History Value has been added under Reports > Inventory. It can be enabled via General Settings > Stock Control. This report tracks cost prices from purchase orders, offering a more accurate average cost calculation.
  • Order Tag Management During Import
    It is now possible to set custom order tags during order imports. If left blank, the system will continue to assign the import date as the default tag.
  • Warehouse Location Cloning in Address Manager
    When creating a new warehouse in the Address Manager, users can now copy all locations from an existing warehouse. Additionally, location name uniqueness is now warehouse-based (excluding TOTE and ASSEMBLY locations).
  • Auto Allocation for Batch Label Printing
    A new auto allocation feature has been added for batch label printing. Orders will be automatically allocated before being sent to batch print. Orders that cannot be allocated will be displayed separately, and only fully allocated orders will proceed to printing. Already allocated orders will not be reallocated.
  • Delivery Chunking
    Deliveries with large inventory volumes will now be processed in the background via cron jobs, eliminating timeout issues across the UI and app.
  • Despatched Order Archiving
    Orders older than 90 days that are marked as despatched will now be automatically archived daily. This improves search performance across the system. Archived orders can still be queried via filters and are not affected in app, public API, or dashboard status counts.
  • Simplified Sales Channels and Courier Integrations Pages
    These pages have been updated to only display active channels and couriers for easier management. New entries can be added through a popup accessible via the button in the lower right corner.
  • All Order Action Buttons Now Visible
    On the order detail page, all action buttons will now be visible at all times. If a button is not currently usable, it will appear disabled with a tooltip explaining the reason.
  • Human-Readable Tags Feature
    A new feature under General Settings > Defaults allows the system to show only human-readable tags. Channel-sent tags that are unreadable will be automatically hidden, offering a cleaner UI.
  • Partners API & App Store Added
    The new App Store, part of the Partners API, has been integrated into the system, allowing users to install apps with various functionalities. The previously existing app store has been renamed to Plugin Store.
  • Warehouse Visibility for Inventory Locations
    Each inventory location in the UI now displays its associated warehouse, improving clarity.
  • Fulfillment Clients Can Now View and Update Global Inventory Custom Fields
    For fulfillment-enabled accounts, fulfillment clients now have access to view and update global inventory custom fields.
  • Sales Channel Info Displayed in Packing Terminal
    The sales channel name, platform icon, and URL are now shown on the Packing Terminal, improving transparency for packers.
