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  • 218682: Fixed an issue where a published panel could be unpublished, even though it shouldn't have been possible.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.
  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 218530: Fixed an issue where the effective context was not updated with unsaved Local and Optional values.
  • 218472: The error reporting of MEA web service requests was improved.
  • 218311: Fixed an issue in the chart properties page that caused a null error.
  • 218559: Saving caused a datagrid that had changes to show only one row of data when the datagrid should have shown multiple rows.
  • 218589: Fixed an issue where the repeater was not drawn in some cases if the dataset had been defined in the panel.

  • The ChartView can use the new 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.
