AutoPlayAuto.com Release Notes - Version 23.02.1 Released 1st March 2023

Updates to AutoPlay Password Policy Provisioning (SPW-6640)

AutoPlay has now enabled for specific password policies to be created and applied to help secure the access to dealerships private data. AutoPlay users will have varying access within AutoPlay, these policies can be applied at a Dealer Group, Dealership or User level and control the strength of the user's password, and the frequency that this will need to be reset.



AutoPlay has applied a strict variation of this policy to its own internal users. More can be read on this HERE

Default Drivers License Image Retention To 90 Days (SPW-6866)

To build upon an existing feature already within AutoPlay and to more tightly meet privacy legislation, AutoPlay has now enabled by default that Drivers License Images will be purged from the system 90 days after the Test Drive record has been updated. This will not remove the actual data collected from the license, this is able to be adjusted separately.


Pre-Scheduled Event Invitations (SPW-6452)
