We've added support for some new field types, and improved others with new attributes and a better user experience.

- Number – such as a client number. 29727

Other improvements
A new user picker makes it easy to select people or groups to search for. 29729

- By default, user fields have a button.
- The User Picker sheet presents a rich UI for selecting people and groups.
- Search to refine the list of displayed users.

Searching in Documents and Emails no longer includes document sets or folders in the search results, making it easier to find a document or email. You can still find document sets and folders by selecting to search in Locations or searching in the tree view. 29725
Date columns in search results show date and time rather than a relative time period (for example, "2 days ago") 29669
Tree view
We've added a search box above the tree view for quick location searches. 29638
When filtering a tree view location, you can now make that filter case insensitive. 29712
We've added support for defining custom folder structures that can be re-used to create multiple new folders quickly and promote more consistent organisation. 29682
Share your custom folder structure configurations with other users so that they can create the same folder structures.
- Give your new folder structure a Name and an optional Description.
- Location conditions determine where this folder structure can be used to create new folders.
- Define the folder structure with sibling and child folders.
Item list
Automatic view selection
Define rules that automatically apply a view to use when a location is selected to ensure the most relevant views are applied by default. Each rule includes one or more Trigger Conditions that matches location attributes (such as folderName or path). The view applied is the first one whose Title matches the rule's Selection Conditions, based on a text comparison or regular expression.
Share your view selection rule configurations with other users.

The button now appears on the Search toolbar for quick access, as well as in the menu. 29640
