== QPR UI 2018.8 (release date 2018-12-03) ==
 +
'''Release Highlights''':
 +
* Views and panels can now be organized into folders allowing to manage them more easily. You can for example create folder to be a team workspace which all users can use. In this initial release, the folders screen is accessed in the workspace screen by replacing "home" with "folders" in the url.
 +
* The folders screen also allows to export views, and there isn't a need any more to publish a view to be able to export it. Also unused panels can now be deleted from the system.
 +
* View "identifiers" have been extended into "paths", which combines the folder path and view identifier. View identifiers need to be unique in the containing folder, and not anymore in the whole environment.
 +
* Views can now use the latest version of panels, meaning that when a new panel version is created, it's automatically in use in views that use the latest version. It's still possible to use a selected panel version. When QPR UI 2018.8 is taken into use, all pre-existing views still link to a selected version, and to change the linking to a latest version, a panel needs to be reselected to the view.
 +
 +
'''Features:'''
 +
* 307102: QPR UI now has a [[QPR_UI_Folders|folders view]]. This feature is currently an initial implementation, and it allows to organize views and panels into folders.
 +
* 307341: Panel and View version information is now displayed on the [[View_and_Panel_Designer_in_QPR_UI#View_and_Panel_Settings|View and Panel properties]]. In addition, the panels in a view can be made to always use the latest version. This way, when a panel is saved as a new version, the change is propagated to all the views that are set to use the latest version of that panel. Also the locking and publishing mechanism of panels should now be less cumbersome, as panels that are linked to a view using the latest version reference are not locked when the view is locked, and the panels using the latest version reference are not published when the view is published.
 +
* 307465: A number of pre-defined QPR ProcessAnalyzer analyses are now available in the left side toolbar of the panel editor.
 +
 +
'''Fixed bugs:'''
 +
* 218761: The SAML Signature was not parsed correctly from the SAML Response.
 +
* 218682: Fixed an issue where a published panel could be unpublished, even though it shouldn't have been possible.
 +
* 218772: Fixed an issue where it was possible to set a behavior other than "Default" to the sys:hideViewHeader context variable.
 +
* 218786: Fixed an issue where a "View not found" error was shown even when it shouldn't.
 +
* 218602: Some errors were written to log with an incorrect severity level.
 +
* 218651: An extra tab was shown with IE 11, when QPR UI was run in an iframe, and the user logged in via saml.
 +
* 218674: The context variables with QPR UI link/url parameters disappeared when wrong credentials were given.
 +
* 218744: qpr.importProcessAnalyzerData did not handle pacm and xes files.
 +
* 218683: qpr.setsessionvariables created two browser history entries, when the last parameter was not sys:dashboardIdentifier.
 +
 +
== QPR UI 2018.7 (release date 2018-10-10) ==
 +
'''Features:'''
 +
* 307315: QPR UI now includes [[QPR UI Audit Logging|entries for certain user actions]] in the server log.
 +
 +
'''Fixed bugs:'''
 +
* 218679: Fixed an issue where SVG actions couldn't be saved with Internet Explorer 11.
 +
* 218671: Fixed and issue where the Process Path Visualizer wasn't available.
 +
* 218535: Fixed an issue where presentation objects were rendered multiple times needlessly.
 +
* 218608: The space reserved for the "Query" and "Attributes" sections of the [[QPR_Suite_Web_Service_Datasource|QPR Suite Web Service queries]] was adjusted.
 +
* 218261: QPR UI no longer loads fonts from external services.
 +
* 218593: Fixed an issue with the Repeater preferring tall items inside the Repeater even if they are further away from the desired aspect ratio than wide items inside the Repeater.
 +
* 218654: Chrome browser stucks and runs out of memory when using expression tag and special context variable values
 +
* 218693: Performance for PAPO's data grids has been optimized
 +
* 218528: Bookmark editor had wrong behavior options available.
 +
 +
== QPR UI 2018.6 (release date 2018-08-31) ==
 +
 +
'''Release Highlights''':
 +
* Presentation objects can be added to a view directly in the view designer, so there isn't a need to open the panel level first. The shortcut creates a panel and the presentation object is located inside the panel.
 +
* There is a new variable behavior: stored variable. Stored variables work like the previously introduced local variables, except the value of the stored variable is stored to the view when the view is saved. The local variable values are not preserved when the view is closed.
 +
 +
'''Features:'''
 +
* 307287: The number and date formatting in the data grid now adheres to the selected user interface language.
 +
* 307355: Presentation objects can now be added in View Designer. The functionality is such that a panel is added together with the presentation object, and the panel's header and fullscreen mode button are hidden by default.
 +
* 307351: The KPI Analysis feature has new updates to it. The Analysis Menu design has new options that allow for efficient creation of KPI analysis presentations. Menu items have been grouped into sub-groups making finding analysis options much swifter.
 +
* 307293: The [[Context_Variables_in_QPR_UI|context variables]] received new [[Context_Variables_in_QPR_UI#Context_Variable_Behaviors|behavior]] functionalities.
 +
 +
'''Fixed bugs:'''
 +
* 218467: Failed queries are no longer cached, so there's an error displayed every time when the queried data is requested and the query fails.
 +
* 218466: Fixed an issue where the query caching did not take the data source type into account.
 +
* 218457: When editing the repeater contents, the repeater will now show the repeated contents like in the view editor.
 +
* 218435: Fixed an issue where QPR UI crashed when a user without sufficient rights tried to access a certain type of view.
 +
* 218423: Fixed an issue where the dataset data was fetched twice when opening a view if the dataset query contained context variables.
 +
* 218444: Fixed an issue where the repeater contents were redrawn when it wasn't necessary.
 +
* 218489: The installer no longer uses 0 as the value for QPR Suite Web Service URL if the URL isn't given during installation.
 +
* 218440: Text with dynamic tag format in context variable value caused HTML using that context variable to not work
 +
* 218530: Fixed an issue where the effective context was not updated with unsaved Local and Optional values.
 +

 +
* 218546: Fixed an issue where the value assigned to the color picker was off by one.
 +
* 218544: Line breaks were not allowed in QPR ProcessAnalyzer JSON queries.
 +
* 218524: The function YEAR(DATE(2018,1,1)) didn't work in the expression language.
 +

 +
* 307292: The views and panels now can be toggled between viewing and editor modes without locking the view and panels. This enables the designer of the view to check how the view looks like for the viewer users. In addition, it's now possible to have overlapping panels and presentation objects.
 +
* 307283: The QPR UI installer was improved. There now isn't a separate page for selecting whether to create a new database or to use an existing one, as the selection is done automatically based on the database name.
 +
 +
'''Fixed bugs:'''
 +
* 218519: The numerical values in QPR ProcessAnalyzer Influence Analysis were aligned to the left.

* The ChartView can use the new [[Conformance Checking in QPR ProcessAnalyzer|conformance analysis]] that is part of the QPR ProcessAnalyzer expression engine. The conformance analysis compares your as-is process (event log) to the as-designed process (BPMN model). You can see the count or percentage of nonconforming cases for different dimensions, such as case attributes, case duration or start time. Also for the nonconforming cases, the reason for the nonconformance is available, such as which events are undesired in the process.

QPR UI 2018.8 (release date 2018-12-03)

Release Highlights:

  • Views and panels can now be organized into folders allowing to manage them more easily. You can for example create folder to be a team workspace which all users can use. In this initial release, the folders screen is accessed in the workspace screen by replacing "home" with "folders" in the url.
  • The folders screen also allows to export views, and there isn't a need any more to publish a view to be able to export it. Also unused panels can now be deleted from the system.
  • View "identifiers" have been extended into "paths", which combines the folder path and view identifier. View identifiers need to be unique in the containing folder, and not anymore in the whole environment.
  • Views can now use the latest version of panels, meaning that when a new panel version is created, it's automatically in use in views that use the latest version. It's still possible to use a selected panel version. When QPR UI 2018.8 is taken into use, all pre-existing views still link to a selected version, and to change the linking to a latest version, a panel needs to be reselected to the view.

Features:

  • 307102: QPR UI now has a folders view. This feature is currently an initial implementation, and it allows to organize views and panels into folders.
  • 307341: Panel and View version information is now displayed on the View and Panel properties. In addition, the panels in a view can be made to always use the latest version. This way, when a panel is saved as a new version, the change is propagated to all the views that are set to use the latest version of that panel. Also the locking and publishing mechanism of panels should now be less cumbersome, as panels that are linked to a view using the latest version reference are not locked when the view is locked, and the panels using the latest version reference are not published when the view is published.
  • 307465: A number of pre-defined QPR ProcessAnalyzer analyses are now available in the left side toolbar of the panel editor.

Fixed bugs:

  • 218761: The SAML Signature was not parsed correctly from the SAML Response.
  • 218682: Fixed an issue where a published panel could be unpublished, even though it shouldn't have been possible.
  • 218772: Fixed an issue where it was possible to set a behavior other than "Default" to the sys:hideViewHeader context variable.
  • 218786: Fixed an issue where a "View not found" error was shown even when it shouldn't.
  • 218602: Some errors were written to log with an incorrect severity level.
  • 218651: An extra tab was shown with IE 11, when QPR UI was run in an iframe, and the user logged in via saml.
  • 218674: The context variables with QPR UI link/url parameters disappeared when wrong credentials were given.

  • 218693: Performance for PAPO's data grids has been optimized
  • 218528: Bookmark editor had wrong behavior options available.

QPR UI 2018.6 (release date 2018-08-31)

Release Highlights:

  • Presentation objects can be added to a view directly in the view designer, so there isn't a need to open the panel level first. The shortcut creates a panel and the presentation object is located inside the panel.
  • There is a new variable behavior: stored variable. Stored variables work like the previously introduced local variables, except the value of the stored variable is stored to the view when the view is saved. The local variable values are not preserved when the view is closed.

Features:

  • 307287: The number and date formatting in the data grid now adheres to the selected user interface language.
