Release history

A snapshot of Cydarm updates

16 June 2025

Enhancements and bug fixes 0.8.51

New feature

Backdated Data Entry (Retrospection)

We now support backdating notes on cases, enabling you to enter data at a later time and have it appear in the case timeline as if they occurred at that time.

  • A new Add backdated entry option has been added in the dropdown arrow that appears next to the Save button when entering notes on cases.
  • Backdated entries include a distinct visual indicator (a clock icon) in the case activity thread to differentiate them from real-time entries. Simply hover over the clock icon to see the actual Added date/time the entry was created.
  • Note that the actual time the entry was created is also recorded and stored in the case activity thread.
  • Backdated entries appear in reports chronologically based on their assigned date.
