Read the help in English Deutsch Français - Added: Circle Analytics – Date filter
The newly added date filter impacts the data displayed in the Analytics window. You can see data for all sends of the email touchpoint or just data from the last send of the touchpoint.
Date filtering is especially useful when the email touchpoint has been sent more than once (e.g. an email with recurrence). This enables you to focus on the relevant send. For example, if you send a monthly newsletter, you can look at last month’s performance. Read the help in English Deutsch Français - Added: Circle Analytics – Performance over time report The performance over time graph now shows the number of opened and clicked emails for all sends or for the last send (as set in the date filter).
You can use the scroll bar below the graph to scroll and zoom to different time frames. You can also drag over an area of interest within the graph, such as a peak, to zoom into it.

- Fixed: Geolocation report ceased to respond when there were more than 1,000 cities on the map (138987).
Version 7.4 (August 4, 2019)
- Added: Circle Analytics – Device reports.
Circle Analytics now offers the device out-of-the-box report available on your email touchpoints. This report identifies the most popular devices used by your recipients. With this information, you can test your emails in the most commonly used email clients.
XES client 3.5 is a prerequisite for the collection of device data.
Open events which occurred starting from July 12, 2019 are included in the device report. If there were no opens after July 12, 2019, the report will be empty. - Changed: In PersonalEffect version 9.5 and above, the frequency of the scheduled task which brings email events to uProduce was changed. Now the task runs every minute instead of every hour. This effectively speeds up the rate at which events are visible in Circle Analytics and Marketing Console.
- Fixed: When viewing the diagram, node icons no longer disappear (136904).
- Fixed: In Analytics, the start date now shows the correct date (136904).
- Know issue: In the Analytics Device report, when the devices list is very long there should be a scroll bar (138957).
- Know issue: In the Analytics Device report, the Apple Mail device row shows the bar chart in the desktop color. However, in some cases, the row includes the Apple Mail mobile device count as well. The totals of the doughnut chart can be out by the amount of the Apple Mail mobile devices (138955).
- Known issue: In PersonalEffect 9.6, it is not possible to add records to a data source using Google Chrome (138976).
Workaround:

Version 7.2 (June 30, 2019)
- Added: Circle Analytics – Geolocation reports.
Circle Analytics now offers the geolocation out-of-the-box report available on your email touchpoints. The geolocation approximates where your recipients were located when they opened the email, so you can target recipients in specific regions.
XES client 3.5 is a prerequisite for the collection of geolocation data.
Open events which occurred starting from June 30, 2019 (deployment of the geolocation feature) are automatically shown on the map, based on the IP address location. If there were no opens since the deployment, the report will be empty. - Changed: The XMPie End User License Agreement was updated with additional sub-processors.
- Fixed: In the “First 24 hour performance” report of the Circle Analytics window, the time is now shown in the time zone set in Project Parameters and not UTC (138191).
- Fixed: For click events during June 23 and 24, 2019, the tracking database ActionParams field tracked additional information (required for devices and geolocation reports). This resulted in a change in the Marketing Console “Email Click Population List” report. The Link URL column in that report should have been a simple URL but the column included more than just a simple URL. This issue was fixed (later on June 24, 2019) and now the Link URL field displays the simple URL.
- Known issue: Some email clients (e.g., Gmail) block tracking of IP information in open events. Such open events are not shown on the map in the geolocation report.
Version 7.0 (May 19, 2019)
- Added: Triggered external touchpoint.
External touchpoints allow Circle to communicate with external services in order to broaden its customer communication capabilities. This communication is triggered from an XMPL webpage, by clicking a button or upon a page load. For example, when submitting a form, a lead can be created in a CRM system, a recipient can be added to an event management service, or a coupon can be sent to a recipient’s wallet, using an external service.The external touchpoint defines the service with which to communicate (via REST API) and the recipient data to be sent (via JSON).Connecting an external touchpoint to zapier.com provides easy integration with over 1000 services. Read more | Video TrainingNotes:
– XMPL 3.1 or higher is a prerequisite.
– External touchpoints are not supported in uStore’s Cross-Media Campaign products. - Fixed: uPlan validation failed when SecureID was included. With PersonalEffect 9.5, validation no longer fails.
Version 6.0 (March 31, 2019)
- Added: Circle Analytics – Email reports.
This is the first phase in a series of deployments to improve and streamline Circle Analytics. This phase includes predefined, out-of-the-box email reports available on your email touchpoints. It is no longer needed to define basic email reports using Marketing Console (MC) since all email touchpoints automatically include the predefined reports. Circle continues to give access to MC reports just as before.
New reports include key metrics such as delivered/opened/clicked, email performance, 24 hour performance over time, and link performance.
Together with the auto-naming feature of XES Cloud 3.5.1, important links such as XMPieRURL, Unsubscribe, View in browser, and PDF on demand are automatically tracked by name to identify the specific link performance (for mass email only). If you have XES Client 3.5, you will benefit from the auto-naming link feature and you can also name other links in your email to enhance link tracking. Read more | Video Training - Known issue: In Circle Analytics window the time zone is shown in UTC and not in the time zone set in Project Parameters (138191).
- Known issue: Campaign on Demand does not yet include Circle Analytics.
Workaround: The builder can access the instance in Circle to view its Circle Analytics.

- Added: You may now save a copy of a PDF on Demand document at the time the document is requested by the recipient, e.g. when the PDF on Demand link is clicked. This is very useful in the world of VDP for keeping an exact copy of what the recipient initially viewed. The copy is saved to a target destination which you define in the uProduce Dashboard. Read help in EnglishDeutschFrançais
- Fixed: The Circle “Never Occurred” event filter now works correctly with a range of records, as well as with the split and turbo functionality. This requires PersonalEffect version 9.4 (137256).
- Known issue: In the Email Service – XES page, the Email Account dropdown appears empty if there are no 2G Circle projects connected to the uProduce system selected in the System dropdown. (137255)

- Maintenance release.
- Added: Auto-Generated Secure ID. For PersonalEffect version 9.3 and above, the recipient key can either be an existing field in your data source (such as CRM-ID), or you can use the auto-generated secure ID option to generate a unique, non- guessable and secure recipient key. The Secure ID option is also useful when conforming to GDPR regulations, as the key does not include PII, it cannot be guessed, and no machine can brute force into the site. Read the help inEnglishDeutschFrançais
- Added: Link Tracking Name. Static email links can be tracked by the value of the URL, however personalized links cannot be tracked by their value because it differs per recipient. Using the Tracking name feature, personalized links can now be tracked and measured based on their name. Tracking data can be retrieved from the Tracking database. This requires XES version 3.5 and above. See more
- Added: Interactive PDF Support. For PersonalEffect version 9.3 and above, PDF on Demand documents may now include interactive elements. In Circle, in the PDF preview page, interactive elements are now active. Read the help inEnglishDeutschFrançais

- Know issue: For PE 9.0.4 or lower, export/delete recipient data fails when there is no SQL native client installed for PE.
Workaround: If there is no SQL native client installed, one must be installed manually. Please contact XMPie support. (136497) - Known issue: When the site is configured as HTTPS, and the friendly URL includes the string “http” in the body of the URL, the system adds an extra “s” after “http”. This causes the link to break. If possible, avoid using this string. (136644)
- Know issue: In Internet Explorer, sometimes saving a custom website touchpoint fails.
Workaround: Use Firefox or Chrome to save the touchpoint. (136621) - Know issue: On delete/export recipient data, if the database approaches/exceeds its limits (e.g., database size, memory), the operation times-out and fails.
Workaround: Free up database storage or increase the database resources. (136719) - Reminder: Circle 1G will be discontinued as of May 31, 2018, as declared in version 4.1.0.8424 (May 28, 2017). See 1G Discontinuation FAQ.

Version 4.3.1.9624 (January 14, 2018)
- Added: Duplicate Project capability. Duplicate project allows you to copy the production elements (i.e., uProduce campaign) in addition to the Circle diagram. You can copy to a different uProduce account making it easy to reuse a successful projects for a different customer. Note that report tracking data, the website and its friendly URLs are not duplicated, and sensitive information such as the master list data sources and project-level users are copied on request.
To duplicate the current project, select File>Save As. Alternatively, in the File>Open page, select the Duplicate option in the row menu.
This capability is available with PersonalEffect version 9.0.2 or above in all Circle editions. Read the help in English Deutsch Français | Watch the video - Changed: The online email editor was changed. The new Email Editor includes a responsive base layout and responsive building blocks making it easy to create responsive emails. The Preview feature offers a convenient mobile simulation in addition to the desktop view and limits the preview to the sample recipients. Using the editor, ADOR types such as Table, Style, and Visibility can easily be inserted in the Code view and image sizing and resizing can be done via the interface. The editor also keeps the code HTML5-compliant. The editor is supported in Chrome and Firefox only. Read the help in English Deutsch Français | Watch the video

- Fixed: In the Email Editor, when defining an and including ADORs, the editor no longer deletes the ADORs from the code. (136246)
- Known issue: In the Email Editor, in Firefox, after drag and drop of an ADOR or a building block, the cursor disappears.
Workaround: Insert an ADOR or a building block by first clicking in the document and then clicking on the ADOR/building block. (135978) - Known issue: In the Email Editor, the link ADOR text is blue and underlined regardless of what you define via the Design view. The blue color and underline is visible in the Preview and when the email is sent. (136201)
- Known issue: In the Email Editor, on dragging an ADOR from the left pane and dropping it into the document, if there is any item selected in the document, the ADOR replaces the selected item instead of being added to the drop location.
Workaround: Make sure nothing is selected in the document before dragging an ADOR from the left pane. Alternatively, position the cursor in the document in the desired drop location and then click the ADOR in the left pane. (135608) - Known issue: In the Email Editor, a color that is specified in hex is converted to RGB in the code. (135928)

Workaround: Right-click and use the popup menu. (136071) - Known issue: In the Email Editor, the browser Search feature does not function as expected. In some cases, the Search searches only in the currently-visible part of the document. In this case, scroll to a different part of the document and perform the search again. (135659)
- Known issue: Unable to upload .indd, .dpkg and .psd files from the Library>Documents page.
Workaround: Upload the .indd or .dpkg document from the Document section in the Print touchpoint. For a .psd file, first export it as a .dpkg and then upload the .dpkg in the Print touchpoint. (136242) - Known issue: In the Email Editor, SVG tags are removed from the html code. (136256)

Version 4.2.0.8842 (July 9, 2017)
- Added: Email verification can be requested and email/domain verification status can be checked in Circle email touchpoints using the XES delivery provider. To make sure that your Circle Account is synchronized with your uProduce, open the Library in any project in the Circle Account. This one-time action and the latest version of XES are prerequisites for enabling this feature.
- Known Issue: Email verification requires a one-time action to force Circle-uProduce synchronization.
Workaround: Open the Library in any project in the Circle Account. This is only required once per Circle Account (135188). - Known Issue: Library fails to open if a certain delivery provider (e.g., Exact Target) was the last delivery provider created in uProduce.
Workaround: Add a fake SMTP delivery provider in uProduce (135221). - Fixed: Sometimes, on attempting to create a new instance, the New Instance button did not function (135046).

Version 4.1.0.8424 (May 28, 2017)
- Added: Project-Template is available with PersonalEffect version 9.0.2 or above and it requires Circle Business Edition. A template is a model project which is intended for duplication e.g., for each branch. Using templates, you can create an off-the-shelf project for the brand and each branch can purchase an instance of the template. Each instance is a duplication of the template and is a fully-functional independent project that can be fine-tuned for the specific branch needs. Note that the website and its friendly URLs are not duplicated, but are shared between the template and all its instances. Watch the video | Read the help in English Deutsch Français
- Added: Parameterized scheduling allows you to define flexible scheduling based on project parameters (Deutsch Français). Now, touchpoints can be scheduled relative to a user defined date and time parameter, whereas in the past scheduling was in absolute time. In the case of a template and its instances, each instance can be customized and scheduled to run at its own time. A prerequisite is PersonalEffect version 8.0 or above and Circle Business Edition. Watch the video | Read the help in English Deutsch Français
- Added: Ability to view the next few scheduled runs is available from the Schedule area of Email and Print touchpoints. This feature is very useful when scheduling includes recurrence or project parameters.
- Added: Direct access to the relevant Marketing Console campaign is available by clicking the Marketing Console link in the Reports popup of a project. The link appears when connected to PersonalEffect version 9.0.2 or above and running Marketing Console version 2.8.1 or above. Access is via single sign-on, making it easy and efficient to access the associated Marketing Console campaign.

- Improved: On selecting the File menu, the default page is now the Open/Organize page.
- Known issue: The Triggered time displayed in the Run Center is incorrect when the London time zone is selected (134967).
- Known issue: When no sample recipient was selected in the template-instance scenario and the web URL is clicked in the Production page, an incorrect error “Unable to connect to Circle” is displayed. The real issue is that no sample recipient was selected (134400).
- Known issue: Sometimes, on attempting to create a new instance, the New Instance button does not function.
Workaround: Reopen the “Instances” tab from the “My Projects” tab and then create the instance (135046). - Known issue: After changing the default delivery provider in the uProduce account settings, existing projects do not default to the new delivery provider. They continue to default to the old delivery provider (135067).
- Known issue: After adding a new email delivery provider in uProduce, the email delivery provider is not visible in the email delivery provider dropdown in the email touchpoint.
Workaround: Click the Library button in the Build tab of any project connected to that uProduce. This resolves the issue for all projects connected to that uProduce (130416). - Known Issue: When using an XES delivery provider and sending a test email to multiple email addresses, the email is sent only to the first address and is sent multiple times.
Workaround: Send the test email to one email address at a time. (135045). - Limitation: Marketing Console mobile version (mc.xmpie.com) does not show the instances of templates (135056).

- Improved: The Project Time Zone value is setup once, in the project parameters page in the library, and is used in all touchpoint scheduling.
- Modified: Any project which included different time zones in its scheduling was adjusted and now works with a single time zone.
- Modified: The Master List page in the library was renamed. It was previously called Data Source.

Version 3.0.2.6955 (Jan 22, 2017)
- Added: The agent now supports a fault-tolerant configuration in PersonalEffect Cross Media version 8.0 or above. An agent is installed on each uProduce server in the fault-tolerant configuration so that the load is distributed, and if one agent fails, the remaining agents are available instead of the failed agent.
- Improved: The Circle agent was enhanced to ensure agent configuration persistence even after uninstalling and reinstalling the agent. Each uProduce system now has a one-to-one connection with the Circle agent. This requires that a new agent be installed locally on the uProduce server.
- Improved: It is now possible to select up to 200 sample recipients.
- Fixed: When deleting a 2G website, the friendly URL is deleted and is available for use, however the website content remained but the preview did not work (132578).

- Known Issue: In the Circle Agent Setting window, if proxy settings are defined, then pressing Test & Save fails and the agent stops working.
Workaround: For the workaround, please contact support (134302). - Known Issue: If the project name includes a single quote or apostrophe (such as Tom’s campaign), the webpages are blank.
Workaround: In the web configuration file, search for circleProjectName and change the single quotes to double quotes (“Tom’s campaign”) (134034). - Known Issue: If the agent server was down during the agent upgrade, all projects continue to work, however the agent interface is corrupted.
Workaround: Uninstall and then re-install the agent (134235). - Known Issue: If more than one agent was connected to a single uProduce server, then after Circle deployment only one agent connection remains active. All projects continue to work without interruption, although the connection is through a different agent (they all refer to the same active agent in the uProduce System name field).
- Known Issue: After restarting the server, the agent icon does not appear in the task bar, even though the agent is running.
Workaround: Open the application (e.g., from the Start menu) and the agent icon appears in the task bar (134255). - Known Issue: PDF on Demand generation fails when using a Recipient List which was mapped to the Plan schema.
Workaround: Avoid using the mapping by renaming the columns in the Recipient List as per the schema in the Plan File (133933). - Limitation: PersonalEffect Cross Media below version 7.0 is no longer supported in Circle.
