# Aged Care and Disability v8.0 is now available

This release introduces the Allied Health Calendar Console for practitioner self-scheduling, automated base template validation and replication, improved resource visibility with schedule/contract hours on the Scheduling Console, and Salesforce flow permission alignment - along with several bug fixes.

**What's New**

- **Salesforce Flow Permission Updates (Action Required):** The managed package now includes the "Run Flows" permission in the Healthcare Scheduler Permission Set to align with Salesforce's Winter '26 enforcement. 
- **Allied Health Calendar Console (New Console):** A purpose-built console that lets Allied Health Professionals manage their own schedules, view colleagues' calendars, and perform core scheduling actions (single/group jobs, shifts, activities) — all from one place.
- **Automated Base Template Validation and Replication:** A new automated process that validates and replicates Base Templates on a daily schedule. Supports self-validation (configurable lead days), multi-template processing, and centralised control via a single Dispatcher job. 
- **Scheduled Hour and Contract Hour Display in Resource Sections:** The Scheduling Console now shows Scheduled Hours and Contracted Hours in both the Available and Unavailable Resource sections during job allocation. Estimated travel time is also correctly calculated. 
- **Job Allocation Modal — Performance Improvements:** Resource retrieval now uses pagination and result limits, offering faster Job Allocation modal load times, especially for orgs with large resource pools.
- **Default Results Per Page Options on Scheduling and Resource Roster Console:** Administrators can now configure the default number of resources displayed per page on both consoles This helps to reduces repetitive manual adjustments and improves usability for teams managing large workforces.

  
**Bug Fixes & System Updates**

- Fixed the issue where field validation in the Job modal was not working correctly – when a required field (e.g., Cost Code) was left blank, the validation message appeared but the allocation modal began loading simultaneously, preventing the user from correcting the field without starting over.
- Fixed the issue where fields on the Availability modal were not honouring Salesforce Date/Time settings in the ACD package. 
- Fixed the issue where the ‘Same Weekday’ option in Delete Recurring Activity/Availability was incorrectly deleting all events in the series instead of only deleting events on the same weekday. 
- Fixed the issue where duplicate jobs were being generated when users attempted to create a single client job, resulting in two identical jobs being created simultaneously.
