---

CMS

• Fixed Email address not showing in Next-Gen Check-in registration screens for adults. This prevented proper gathering of needed contact information. Fixes: #6294
• Fixed legacy check-in issue where it didn't check schedule categories for exclusions when loading schedules. Fixes: #6196
• Updated Next-Gen Check-in to hide the camera button if no camera has been enabled in either the browser or iPad application. Fixes: #6287

Pre-Alpha Version 18.0.5 Released April 29, 2025

---

CMS

• Improved security for external authentication in Rock Mobile. This is a breaking change; see the Tech Bulletin for full details and upgrade guidance.

Check-in

• Improved check-in experience for 18 year olds in Next-Gen Check-in when it has been configured to hide adults. Now, individuals are only hidden if their graduation year is in the past or is not set, allowing current high school seniors to still appear. Fixes: #6270
• Fixed a performance issue in Next-Gen Check-in that caused delays when printing to Bluetooth printers. The slowdown was due to how label image data was encoded, which has now been optimized. Printing performance should now be smooth and immediate. Fixes: #6260
• Fixed an issue where group attributes might not load correctly for Check-in groups if an LMS Class was defined with a location also used by Check-in. In some cases, this caused age range and other restrictions to be ignored, potentially allowing individuals to check into the wrong rooms. Fixes: #6264

Core

• Improved the IP Geolocation feature by adding the ability to block visitor access from specific countries, either across the entire Rock instance or on individual pages. This adds a layer of protection against unwanted traffic from high-risk regions.

CRM

• Added a new option in the Bulk Update block to allow individuals to be enrolled in a Step for a selected Step Program and Step Type.
• Fixed minor layout issue with the Person Signal List block where the "Expiration Date" header was visually truncated and misaligned when not in a full-width section. Fixes: #6272

Finance

• Fixed layout issues in the Financial Statement Template List block by adjusting column widths and alignment to enhance readability on smaller screens. Fixes: #6286
• Fixed an issue where Benevolence Type security was not properly enforced in the Benevolence Request List, allowing individuals to see requests for types they did not have access to. Also corrected an error in the Benevolence Request Detail block that occurred when attempting to view an unauthorized request, ensuring a proper security message is shown instead of an exception. Fixes: #6276

Mobile

• Fixed an issue where GroupMember validation incorrectly enforced group requirements for RESTUSER records that are automatically added to the RSR - Mobile Application Users role when a new mobile app is registered. Fixes: #6282

Reporting

• Fixed the Insights block's "Percent of Active Records" chart to include all active Record Status values, ensuring that any custom statuses are represented. Also renamed the chart to "Record Statuses" for improved clarity. Fixes: #6268
• Fixed an issue with the Insights block where the Information Completeness chart could incorrectly calculate the Home Address percentage when individuals had multiple active home addresses. Fixes: #6269
• Fixed an issue where the Insights block for Assessments incorrectly inflated totals by counting non-completed assessments and multiple completed assessments of the same type for the same individual. This fix ensures that only one completed assessment per type per individual is included in the total. Fixes: #6267

Workflow

• Improved the Form Builder to support easier form sharing, previewing, and customized communication. Administrators can now create a shareable link to a form, preview it in a pop-up window, and send automated responses using a new "Form Builder" category in System Communications.

Pre-Alpha Version 18.0.4 Released April 15, 2025

---

CMS

• Fixed an issue that allowed sites with Exclusive Routes enabled to load page routes for other sites. Fixes: #6190

Check-in

• Add two new Kiosk Device settings to control registration mode in Next-Gen Check-in. There are now individual controls for adding families and editing existing families.
• Fixed an issue in Next-Gen Check-In that caused kiosks to remain open when they shouldn't be. Inactive groups were incorrectly used to determine a kiosks open/closed state.

Communication

• Added the obsidian Communication Template Detail block for viewing and editing communication templates using the Obsidian UI. This lays the foundation for managing versioned templates with a cleaner interface.
• Added a database index to the CommunicationRecipient table for the UniqueMessageId property to improve lookup performance when sending or tracking individual messages.

Core

• Fixed the logic that sets a schedule's EffectiveEndDateTime to be more accurate when a schedule's duration passes midnight. This ensures it better aligns with iCal's DTEND behavior. Fixes: #6227
• Fixed an issue that could cause Rock to restart unexpectedly when launching workflows from the Event Detail page. This occurred when the event was linked to a group whose group type was set to allow itself as a child group type, creating a recursive configuration. Fixes: #6119

Event

• Added options to the obsidian Registration Entry block, allowing Rock administrators to enable or disable ACH and credit card payments for registrations. These settings also determine which saved payment accounts individuals can use.

Finance

• Improved the Benevolence Request block to use the selected campus when using the "Create Person From Fields" feature. Fixes: #6262

Reporting

• Fixed the Group/Location DataSelect field to prevent an error when attempting to use it as a sort field. Fixes: #3941
• Fixed the PageParameterFilter block to respect the 'Show Reset Filters Button' setting. In doing this there was some refactoring of the block settings. The 'Hide Filter Actions' block setting was removed and replaced with 'Show Filter Button'. The previous settings were confusing and did not match Rock's typical logic pattern. This could mean that if one had the 'Hide Filter Actions' set to true that the filter buttons would now show. This would be a bit of an edge case (but possible), but in the effort to improve the logic of the settings the change was made. Also, fixed an issue where the filter settings default values were not being shown. Finally, adjusted the initial load logic to keep child blocks from loading twice on initial loads. Since these child blocks are often querying and loading a lot of data it's important that they are only loaded once.
