Dashboards app: 'Preserve feed selections' option is now an advanced setting [ID 40709]

Up to now, whether you added showadvancedsettings=true to the dashboard's URL or not, the Create folder window and the Folder settings window would always show the Preserve feed selections option.

From now on, the Preserve feed selections option will only be visible when you add showadvancedsettings=true to the dashboard's URL.

Dashboards/Low-Code Apps - Timeline component: Number of timeline items is now limited to 100,000 [ID 40761]

Fixes

Low-Code Apps - Form component: Dropdown fields containing elements, resources or service definitions would show an incorrect warning message [ID 40399]

Up to now, dropdown fields defined as ElementFieldDescriptor, ResourceFieldDescriptor or ServiceDefinitionFieldDescriptor would display all items. However, when there were more than 100 items, an incorrect message would appear, stating that not all values were being displayed.

This behavior has now changed:

• If a dropdown field is defined as ElementFieldDescriptor, the above-mentioned message will no longer appear. The field will always show all elements.

• If a dropdown field is defined as ResourceFieldDescriptor or ServiceDefinitionFieldDescriptor, it will now initially show only 100 items. When there are more than 100 items, a message will appear, indicating that there are more items.

Also, dropdown fields defined as ResourceFieldDescriptor or ServiceDefinitionFieldDescriptor will now use a paging mechanism (in case of the former, only if the DataMiner server version is 10.4.9 or newer).

Note

• If a resource is found in multiple resource pools, it will appear in a dropdown field multiple times (i.e. once for every pool it is found in).
• If a dropdown field defined as ResourceFieldDescriptor or ServiceDefinitionFieldDescriptor contains more than 100 items, it is advised to adapt the filter in order to reduce the number of items in the dropdown field.

Dashboards app: Folders of which the name contained a slash ('/') or a backslash ('\') character would stay hidden [ID 40532]

When you created a dashboard folder of which the name contained a slash ("/") or a backslash ("\") character, up to now, the folder would be created, but would stay hidden. It would not appear in the folder structure.

From now on, when you enter a folder name containing a slash ("/") or a backslash ("\") character, an Invalid folder name message will appear.

Dashboards app: Inconsistent folder selection behavior [ID 40561]

When a dashboard folder contained child folders, up to now, the main folder would open when you clicked it once, while the child folders would only open when you clicked them twice. From now on, all dashboard folders will open when you click their chevron once.

Dashboards/Low-Code Apps - Security: Users would incorrectly not have a profile picture [ID 40617]

When you were configuring user access to a dashboard, a dashboard folder or a low-code app, up to now, users would incorrectly not have a profile picture. From now on, every user will have a profile picture.

Dashboards/Low-Code Apps - Security: User who duplicated a dashboard would incorrectly not be allowed to edit the newly created duplicate [ID 40627]

Dashboards app: Renaming a folder while a dashboard in that folder was open would incorrectly change the focus to the folder [ID 40656]

Low-Code Apps: Output feed of a script would not be updated when a 'Launch a script' action was followed by post actions [ID 40664]

Dashboards app: Problems when attaching CSV files to email reports [ID 40813]

A number of problems could occur when attaching CSV files to email reports:

• When a CSV file was larger than 10 Mb, the generation of that file could get stuck. As this would cause the file to remain locked, it was not possible to attach it to the email message.
• When you toggled the Include CSV option in the report preview, the data would incorrectly already be fetched. From now on, the data will only be fetched when you click Send.
• When multiple components were spread over different pages of the PDF file, only the components on the last page of the PDF file would have their CSV file attached. From now on, all CSV files will get attached correctly.

Low-Code Apps - GQI: Problem with persistent client subscriptions [ID 40852]
