Features in 10.16.5 Release (September 2023)

Saved Searches

Saved Search allows the users to save their search results, including the search keywords and the objects being searched. This will ensure accessibility and visibility for the users while using the AgileApps platform. For more information, see the Search page.

Application Landing page

With this feature, you can customize the landing page of your applications in AgileApps. The landing page can be configured in the Edit profile and Tenant Personalization pages. By default, the Dashboard would be the landing page for all applications. For more information, see the Edit Profile page.

Application Icon

Now you can customize your application icon on the 'Applications' page (Configuration > Applications). We support the following file types: gif, jpeg, png, and jpg. For more information, see the Application Metadata Configuration page.

Retention period in Debug Log

This option allows configuring an automatic data purge of the Debug Log based on your choice of retention period. The retention period can be set from one to 60 days and is set to two days by default. All debug log entries older than the specified days are purged automatically. For more information, see the Debug Log page.

Bookmarks

Bookmarks in the AgileApps platform allow you to save frequently visited Object records for quick access. This feature is particularly useful for users who frequently navigate between different parts of the AgileApps application. For more information, see the Bookmarks page.

Tenant Personalization

The tenant personalization feature enables users to personalize the platform to meet their specific needs and preferences, without affecting the experience of other tenants. By adjusting various settings, you can make the platform more personalized, visually appealing, and easier to use. For more information, see the Tenant Personalization page.

Note: Before you install/upgrade, ensure you save the existing settings such as Header Logo, Website URL, Favicon, Mobile Logo, and Header Background Color in the Service Portal settings (Configuration > Channels).

Eclipse Plug-in

Eclipse Plug-in creates a bridge between the Eclipse development environment and the AgileApps platform. It provides a good, syntax-highlighting editor with "go to definition" capabilities and other features. For more information, see the Eclipse Plug-in page.

Features in 10.16.2 Release (March 2023)

Search

This feature enables you to perform a search to find all records in the platform that contain the characters or words you specify, in the following ways:

1. You can perform a search in all the listed objects by default.
2. To perform a search under specific objects, you can update the object list by checking or unchecking the items or providing the object filter keyword in the 'Choose object(s) to search in' text field.

For more information on this feature, see the Search page.

Email Channel - OAuth Configuration with POP3S

• Setting up a new or updating the existing Email Channel with OAuth as the authentication type with IMAPS protocol was introduced in the previous patch 10.15.5. For more information, see the Mailbox page.
• The configuration of OAuth with POP3S protocol is enabled in this release.

AgileApps Runtime UI Upgrade from Angular version 7 to 13

The AgileApps Runtime UI is upgraded from Angular version 7 to 13 along with all the dependent packages. For more information, see the New Runtime User Interface for AgileApps page.

AgileApps Designtime UI Upgrade to Runtime Look and Feel

The AgileApps Designtime UI is upgraded to appear the same in look and feel as the Angular Runtime UI by making changes in the style sheets. For more information, see the New Designtime User Interface for AgileApps page.

Application Metadata Configuration for the App Designer

This feature enables the user to view and update application specfic metadata under the respective applications listed in the 'Administration > Applications' page when the user creates or installs any application on the AgileApps platform. For more information, see the Application Metadata Configuration page.

Software Support

• MySQL 8.x

For more information, see Software Requirements and Hardware Requirements.

The feature provides the support of MySQL version 8.x with AgileApps Cloud Version 10.16 which is part of the webMethods Suite Version 10.15.

Note: The feature is supported only in the AgileApps Cloud version for now. For on-prem customers, upgrade the AgileApps platform to version 10.16 as the first step, and for the upgrade of the MySQL database to version 8.x, reach out to the Product Management team.

Multiple files attachment in a record for the new user interface

This feature enables you to upload or download multiple files to record attachments. Prior to this implementation, you could upload only one file at a time to record attachments using the file uploader dialog and download the file by clicking on the attachment file items listed in the right-side panel.

• SI#492915 - An error message, "Größenänderung des Fotos fehlgeschlagen : (y+height) is out of Raster" is displayed when the user tries to change the profile picture in the new user interface of AgileApps. The error message displayed is also not clear to the user.

• In both the old and new user interfaces of AgileApps, the Field Audit Log page lacks a Cancel button.

• In the new design-time user interface of AgileApps, the Classes page lacks a breadcrumb link which helps the user navigate to previous pages.

• When the Accessibility mode is enabled, the focus frame is available for the header of the records checkbox but not for the records checkbox.

• SI#503928 - The user is unable to select the mail recipients with the keyboard.

• The record locator heading is missing when the user clicks on lookup in the AgileApps runtime user interface.

• A blank page appears, when the user tries to click on the external lookup field.

• SI#493006 (Accessibility) - The customer is experiencing issues with tooltips in LJP 10.15 Fix6.2, as they are limited to only 256 characters. However, the customer requires tooltips with up to 1000 characters. Additionally, when the text and controls are magnified to 200%, some tooltip content is not fully visible, causing accessibility issues for visually and cognitively impaired users. The customer has identified the need for tooltips with at least 1000 characters and full visibility at 200% magnification, with scrollbars available if necessary.

• SI#494732 - The width of the columns is too wide after a recent upgrade in AgileApps platform.

• SI#492875 (Screen Reader) - The AgileApps runtime UI lacks a clear differentiation between active and inactive menu items. While the active menu item is visually highlighted, this information is not perceptible to blind users. As a result, the active menu item cannot be identified with the screen reader, which does not support orientation based on active elements. This can cause difficulties for users relying on assistive technology to navigate the application.

• CLDP-4657 - The current third-party Java package used in the docker image 'cldp/lj:10.15.22.10' used is vulnerable. It is recommended for the user to upgrade to a safer version to avoid vulnerabilities.

• Links attached with Learn More buttons on the feature pages and the Release Notes button on the About page in the AgileApps platform are broken.

• The current third-party component Spring Framework version 5.13.9 used is vulnerable. It is recommended for the user to upgrade to a safer version 6.0.0 or above to avoid vulnerabilities.

• SI#496297 - The JSP prompts the users to save changes every time when they navigate from any JSP page to another object page, even when no changes have been made.

• The tab navigation does not work as expected when accessing the AgileApps Search Engine in accessibility mode. The user should be able to navigate to the overlay by using the tab key and exit it using the next tab key, but this functionality is not working properly.

• In the Windows environment, under the Developer Resources page, when users try to compile a Custom Class, the error: "platform.api packages are not found" is observed.

• When the accessibility mode is enabled, the "Create new" record form displays a horizontal scroll bar, and some fields are not entirely visible.

• SI#492900 (Screen Reader) - In the "New Dashboard" pop-up, the Layout radio button group is not labeled as such. The lack of labeling causes the screen reader to display the radio buttons without the associated group label, making it difficult for blind users to recognize which radio buttons belong together in terms of content and function. Blind users must navigate through additional steps to determine the radio button group.

• SI#492906 (Screen Reader) - Screen readers are not reading out the associated column heading in the first table column when navigating through individual cells using arrow keys in the grid table since the column headers don't have the correct labels. This leads to blind users being unable to connect the contents of the individual table cells with the column heading.

• SI#492911 (Accessibility) - To ensure good ergonomics, the contrast between the text and background within an application should be maintained at a reasonable level. However, some elements such as Reports fall below the recommended 4.5:1 contrast ratio, leading to readability issues for users.

• SI#492918 (Accessibility) - When navigating via the keyboard, users with visual or motor impairments may be directed to an unexpected position, necessitating a return to the previously focused content to proceed with their work.

• SI#492921 (Screen Reader) - The "Close" dialog icon and button in the delegation pop-up window of the AgileApps platform have different labels.

• SI#492924 (Screen Reader) - Users with motor impairments may use voice control to operate the application. For this reason, it is essential that the visible labels of operating elements are included in the programmatically determinable name, though this is not always the case.

  a) In the "Becoming a Representative" pop-up, the "Cancel" button lacks the visible label within the programmatically determined label, and is therefore identified by the screen reader as a "Close dialog" button. This can create issues for speech control software.

  b) The "Save" button lacks an aria-label altogether.

• SI#492972 (Accessibility) - The interactive elements within the dashboard or the object list lack a distinct focus frame, making it difficult to identify them.

• SI#492976 (Accessibility) - Upon performing any operation within the AgileApps platform, a notification message confirming the action is displayed for the users who are using the non-accessibility mode, and it disappears quickly.

• SI#493026 (Accessibility) - AgileApps' run-time UI pages with syntax errors cause problems in interpreting the content for those users who use assistive technologies for the same.

• When a user creates an Event Rule on the case 'Owner Change' and assigns it to the same user in a case, the Rule gets triggered.

• The Update User page displays an erroneous validation message when an incorrect email address is entered while updating the new user details.

• In agileappslive.com, a "javax.xml.blind.annotation" error is displayed when attempting to create a page in developer resources due to the customer package dependency on that particular jar. This issue is resolved by including the jaxb jar in the project.

• SI#488924 - The current third-party component fluent-hc jar version 4.2.3 used is vulnerable. It has been upgraded to a safer version 4.5.14.

• SI#490567 - If the users want to use the time logging feature in AgileApps and need other categories than predefined, they are not able to change them.
