3. Enhancing Ecard Functionality
   Multiple improvements have been made to enhance eCard functionality:
   1. Define eCards for Specific Countries: Admins can now create eCards for specific countries, allowing for location-based distribution, especially useful for eCards that include specific text.
   2. Count the Usage of eCards: A new "eCards Sent" column has been added in Admin > Configuration & Branding > eCards. This column displays the number of eCards sent for each item, giving admins visibility into which eCards are actively used. This helps identify underutilized eCards that can be deactivated, ensuring the catalog remains relevant and up-to-date.
   3. Search eCards by Title in Application: Employees can now search for eCards by title within the application, enabling them to quickly find the specific eCard they are looking for, without the need to scroll through a long dropdown menu. This feature is particularly useful for clients who use eCards with customized titles, making the process faster and more efficient.
   4. Add Drag & Drop Option in Advanced Customization: Admins can now use a drag-and-drop interface to reorder eCards in the "Order E-cards" tab. This new feature allows admins to easily organize the eCard catalog according to their preferences or priority, providing greater control over the display and accessibility of eCards.

Use Case: These updates enable admins to have greater flexibility in managing the eCard catalog, ensuring that eCards are tailored to specific regions, are easy to find, and can be organized according to usage or priority.
