Smarter Navigation on the Deposit Release Dashboard

Smarter Navigation on the Deposit Release Dashboard

Release: v0.1.109

This release resolves two usability friction points on the Deposit Release Dashboard: a misrouted primary action button and non-functional status stat cards.

Starting a New Deposit Release

Before

Clicking Start New Release redirected you to /dashboard/tenancies. From there you had to locate the correct tenancy record and find the deposit release section — an indirect route that added unnecessary steps.

After

Clicking Start New Release now opens a search-and-select modal directly on the Deposit Release page.

  1. Type a tenant name, property address, or tenancy reference into the search field.
  2. The modal returns matching active tenancies in real time.
  3. Select the tenancy you want — you are taken straight into the release creation flow.

This modal follows the same design pattern used in the Negotiation Inbox for creating new threads, keeping the interaction model consistent across the platform.

Filtering by Status Using the Stat Cards

The top of the Deposit Release Dashboard shows four summary cards:

CardStatus it represents
DraftReleases not yet submitted
Awaiting AcknowledgementReleases sent, pending tenant response
AcknowledgedTenant has acknowledged the deductions
ReleasedDeposit fully released

Before

Clicking any of these cards called setView('board'), which simply toggled to the Kanban board without applying any filter. The cards gave no useful navigation shortcut.

After

Clicking a stat card now:

  1. Switches the dashboard to list view.
  2. Automatically applies a filter for the selected status.

For example, clicking the Awaiting Acknowledgement card shows only the releases currently waiting for the tenant to respond — no manual filtering required.

'View All' on Kanban Board Columns

Each column on the Kanban board now has a 'View all' link in its footer. Clicking it switches to list view and filters to that column's status. This makes it straightforward to move from a high-level board overview into a detailed, focused list whenever you need to act on a group of releases.
