Have you checked the latest release of our Alert Plus and List Rollup Web Part yet?  At Bamboo this week, we are very excited to roll out new major releases for Alert Plus release 4.0 and List Rollup Web Part release 7.0 for both SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013.   Please check out our storefront and review the following patches for List Search Advanced Web Part., Tree View Web Part, and Team Calendar Web Part.  More details on all of the changes can be found below, along with new features, bug fixes, limitations, and known issues.

HW05 Alert Plus for SharePoint 2010 Release 4.0.58 (File version 40.0.58)

New Features:

• Application Server support – Run backend List Rollup functions on an application server instead of on Web Front Ends.
• Use an alternate “From” address for alerts:

  • Define a default “From” address per Web App.
  • Optionally allow users to define a “From” address per alert.
  • Lookup users from any SharePoint List (not just Contact Lists).
  • Carbon Copy (CC) and Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) users on alerts.
  • Enable/Disable alerts from the alert dropdown menu.
  • Send alerts to Active Directory (AD) Groups.
  • Break summary email content into Header, Body, and Footer sections.
  • Send alerts on a monthly schedule.
  • Show only the most recently appended data for fields using “FieldNameCurrent”.

Bug Fixes:

• SharePoint-based images in email displayed as a red “x”.

New Known Issues:

• After upgrading to version 4.0, the “en-US” language may be selected in the Web Part settings even if German, Spanish, or French was previously selected.
• The Last Run Status for alerts may display an error message instead of the correct status.
• Uninstalling the optional Application Server Add-In component from a Web Front End (WFE) removes parts needed for the standard Web Part settings. Workaround: Re-install the required Alert Plus Web Part component to replace any missing components.
• In some cases, a username/ password login is required to see the SharePoint image in alerts when using Outlook WebMail.
• Picture is not shown for some users on Chrome/ Firefox when using Outlook WebMail.
• The Alert Plus settings pages in Central Admin show errors after installing. Workaround: Some files may not have been deployed properly in SharePoint. Run the command “Install-SPApplicationContent” in the SharePoint Management Shell while in admin mode to deploy the missing content.
