With release 6.2, Aptify web application will be integrated with Wootric software for generating the NPS Score. When an Admin logs into Aptify Web, we would use Wootric to pop up an NPS survey from time to time to collect Net Promoter Scores.

Also, by default, Aptify provides a set of help links to KB site that can be used as is or reconfigured.

Global View Creation Support
Many associations don’t want their staff users to keep creating their own view but to use the standard consistent set of views defined for their departments. The current challenge with older versions of Aptify is that one person needs to own the views and then share it. Then the next person needs to know which entity the view is created on, connect to that folder. If multiple people have multiple shared folders – it is very complicated for the end-users.
The Global View Support feature will now provide facility for department heads to create dashboard parts where all the commonly shared global views can be placed. The other members of the department can then have this default dashboard from where the shared views can be used by all members having access to the dashboards.
For more information, see Global View Creation Support.

The new application server that was available in the Aptify Marketplace listing has been integrated with the 6.3 release. The new application server will be replaced by the old application server in the Aptify setup.
