In August, Argyle introduced these quality of life improvements:

• Generating PDF reports is now ~30% faster.
• The time of day a report was generated, and the time of day the report was last updated with new data, is now shown within Report details.
• Console now remembers scroll location. You won't lose your spot when viewing all your Connections, visiting an individual User Profile, and returning to Connections.
• Filters applied to Connections are now more reliably retained across sessions.

This month Console focused on improving every step of the invited user experience.

• Invite emails and Argyle's landing page got a new look. Your brand is now front and center, helping to maximize conversion by increasing user trust. The new email and landing page can be enabled and configured by visiting Invite Settings in Console.

Other Console changes introduced this month:

• Resending invites to attempted and successfully connected users is now possible within the Connections page of Console.
  • Users can re-establish a payroll connection in one click (no login credentials needed) by returning to Link through original or re-sent invites.
• Argyle PDF Reports have been redesigned, with additional metadata including external ID's now shown in a new Report details area.
• Under the hood improvements have been made across Console, yielding faster page loading and a more responsive experience.

Console's Connections page was redesigned from the ground up, giving you more information at a glance with advanced filters to find the information you need faster.

1. The previous three table views — Connected, Invited, and Attempted Connections — were combined into one view.
2. If you are sending URL invites through Console, sent invites can be filtered by their current status or the Console member who sent the invite. Additionally, all Connections can be filtered by income source.

Other Console changes introduced this month:

• External ID's can be attached to individual users and used when searching the Connections page. Multiple users can have the same external ID.
• Shifts data and shifts webhooks are now available in Console.
• The content of Argyle PDF Reports can be viewed in JSON within Console.
• Additional metrics were added to Console's Dashboard.
• Invites sent through Console in sandbox mode for testing purposes can now be sent to any email.
• Searching the Connections page by user ID or account ID has been improved to support copy-pasting of ID's.

Console added new features this month that give you more control over the payroll connection experience and help you find the information you need more quickly and intuitively.

• Console's Coverage page has been redesigned and now shows more information on what data fields are supported, how often data is refreshed, and what Link 5 Item ID corresponds to each employer and payroll provider.
• Link Flows in Console has been upgraded to support new ways to customize the Link home screen that were introduced with Link 5.1, including choosing which tabs are shown (Popular, Employer, Gig, Benefits, Payroll) and the option to manually select which payroll platforms are suggested to users on the Popular tab.
• Sending URL invites from the Connections page received more updates:
  • The default method for invites is now "Email and SMS" — the most popular option for sending invites with the highest connection success rate of any invite method.
  • SMS invites sent to users now use a shorter and more trustworthy URL that begins with verify.argyle.com/.

In April, Argyle introduced these enhancements to Console:

• Console's Coverage page is now searchable by the Item ID that corresponds to each employer and payroll provider.
• After selecting a Flow within the Link Flows page in Console, the selection will persist if you navigate away and return to the page.
• If you use Console to send URLs inviting users to connect payroll accounts, the default text for email invites has been updated with additional context on the connection process to improve conversion. Visit the Invite template section of the Settings page to customize this text.
• Users that have only submitted a response form in Link after being unable to find their employer or payroll provider are now listed in the "Attempted Connections" section of Console's Connections page rather than the "Connected" section. If these users opened Link through a URL invite, their status in the "Invited" section of Console's Connections page will now be "Attempted" instead of "Completed" as well.

Since Argyle Console’s last design refresh, a lot has been added to the tool’s capabilities, from webhook alerts and conversion charts to integration status updates. With that in mind, we’ve made some small updates that we expect will have a big impact on your Console experience.

Let’s dive into what you can expect from the new Console experience:

• Reoriented navigation: You’ll notice the Console navigation bar has shifted from a vertical column (along the left-hand side of the screen) to a horizontal menu that sits along the top. This not only gives you more space to explore and play with Console’s many features and functions, it also makes it clearer how different elements connect and work with one another. It also gives our team some breathing room to add new capabilities as we expand our platform.
• Simpler terminology: Previously, the tools that allowed you to preview and adjust your consumer-facing UI were referred to as Link Emulator and Link Customizer, respectively. Now, we’ve merged and repackaged them into one simplified tool called Link Flows. That means you can make edits and see your changes go live in the same space, for a more intuitive and immediate experience.
• Accessible features: Our redesigned Console offers all the same features and functions you’ve always used—including the ability to review your coverage, check the status of your connections, set up real-time webhook alerts, and generate custom VOI and VOE reports and data sets—just in a streamlined and more self-evident package.

To explore the updates we've made, get started in Console's Dashboard.

In January, Argyle introduced these enhancements to Console:

• We've redesigned the way you view a connected user's information in Console. You can now quickly see an overview of the accounts a user has connected, switch between the data sets available, and generate reports.
• You can now submit and view your support requests through Console's new Ticket Center, which can be accessed through the help menu.
• If you are generating reports through Console:
  • You can now use Console to generate verification of employment (VOE) reports in addition to verification of income and employment (VOIE) reports. VOE reports include employment details but omit income information.
  • All reports generated now include timestamps for when the report was generated, and when the data was most recently refreshed.
  • You can now generate reports for a user as long as at least one of their accounts was successfully connected in the past and the data was fully synced.
• If you use Console to send URLs inviting users to connect payroll accounts:
  • The URLs included in invites sent to users no longer expire.
  • You can now reconnect returning users using this same invite URL, or resend the invite using the API. This lets returning users re-verify or revoke existing account connections, or connect additional accounts.
• Currency values are now displayed when viewing pay allocations in Console.
• Hovering over an account in the Users tab now displays information on the account's connection status and when the account's data was last synced.

In December, Argyle introduced these enhancements to Console:

We've redesigned the way you send URL invites from Console, making it faster and simpler to send unique URLs allowing recipients to immediately connect payroll accounts. You can now more easily:

• Send a URL invite via email, SMS, or both
• Preview the recipient's account connection experience
• Add and configure advanced Argyle features such as direct deposit switching
• Customize and save your default invite text and Link Customization in Settings

Additionally, hovering over invite statuses within the Invites tab now shows the date the user connected, removed, or attempted to connect an account. Possible invite statuses were also expanded from Sent, Completed, and Revoked to include Initiated and Attempted.

Lastly, you can now preview and crop your logo in Link Emulator to demo how users will experience your branding in Argyle Link.

In November, Argyle introduced these enhancements to Console:

• If you're new to Argyle, explore pre-loaded example Customizations in Link Emulator to learn about how Link can be branded and tailored to your use case
• If you're on Argyle's free Sandbox-only plan, explore our Coverage tool in Console for detailed information about supported payroll platforms and available data fields. Previously this tool was only available to customers on a paid Argyle plan
• Filter Console's conversion dashboard by Link Customization to experiment with how different configurations of Link impact conversion
• When creating a Link Customization in Customizer, you can now choose whether to include Government benefits as a category of income sources
• If you use Console to send URLs inviting users to connect payroll accounts:
  • You can now view and filter the Invites table by sender, providing visibility into invite usage across team-members and enabling individual team-members to focus on sent invites that are relevant to them
  • You can now copy the URL that was sent as part of an invite right from the Invites table
  • You'll now get notified via email when an invited user uploads income documents rather than connecting a payroll account (in addition to the existing email notification for users connecting a payroll account)
• If you use Console to retrieve Verification of Income and Employment PDF reports, these reports now include 3 years of income history rather than 2 (when available from the connected payroll account)

In October, Argyle introduced these enhancements to Console:

• If you're new to Argyle, use Console's new Preview Mode to learn how Argyle works by securely connecting your own payroll account and viewing the retrieved income and employment data. Your data is only visible to you (never colleagues with Console accounts) and is removed when you exit the preview experience
• You can now sign up or sign in or sign in to Console using a Microsoft account, such as Outlook or Azure Active Directory. With this addition, Argyle now supports Google, Microsoft, Okta, and email + password as methods for you and your team to access Console quickly and securely
• The new Integrations tab in Console allows you to connect third-party applications, enhancing the Argyle experience. Our first integration enables you to receive third-party OCR data via the Argyle API for income documents that have been manually uploaded by your users in Link
• The recently introduced Income Totals endpoint is displayed in Console as a table when viewing a connected user's profile. This provides a conveniently formatted breakdown of a user's total annual income - YTD and for all available years in the past - based on analyzing all available paystub data for the user
• If you use Console to send URLs inviting user to connect payroll accounts, you'll now receive a notification email if an invited user has chosen to manually upload income documents, similar to the confirmation emails you currently receive when invited users connect their payroll accounts
