1.20.2046

Release date: 2018-12-19

Always backup the Zervicepoint database before upgrading! If you experience an installation failure you must restore the database before continuing.

JavaScript DOM manipulation deprecated

In this release there are warning messages to the JavaScript console log when the ZApi functions GetElement, GetContainer, Get$Element and Get$Container are invoked. If you have cases where you need to manipulate the DOM, check our Migration guide.Migration guide

Multi-tenant upgrade

This release has no changes to Provisioning System or Client Web Service.

ZervicePoint PowerShell Management

There are new functionality in Powershell Management see below for details.

New install.cmd file in this release

This release has no changes to install.cmd, but you should switch to the new install.cmd file that was introduced in 1.18.1829 and is included in all subsequent releases, if you haven't already.

New requirement

There is a new software requirement. .NET Framework 4.6 or above is required. Please update accordingly before upgrading to this Zervicepoint version. It is needed because we have started to support SQL server 2017. Note: .NET 4.6 might cause unpatched Service Bus 1.1 for Windows server to become unresponsive

New features

Collapsing a form section in the form editor

It is now possible to collapse a form section in the form editor the same way you can collapse any activity in the workflow editor.

Before Collapse

After Collapse

Grouped Activities

Grouped Activities is a new feature in Zervicepoint. They are sequences of activities that can be reused in multiple processes and services, acting as an isolated part of the process workflow, containing their own variables and activities, and taking input and output parameters that are assigned to variables used by the different activities within the grouped activity. A grouped activity can contain all of the different built-in activities (except Approval and Task) as well as provider activities. Read more about grouped activities here: Working with Grouped Activities.

Hide submit button

It is now possible to hide the submit button for services that should not be orderable.

This can be useful for services that only display information. For example a "View user information" service.

The checkbox for this can be found on the "Update service", "New process" and "Update process" pages on the administration page.

Hide page headers

It is now possible to hide the text inside the page headers on the "Catalog", "Activity feed" and "To-Do list" pages in the new UI.

This will leave more screen space for other content.

The setting for this can be found on the "Edit store" page on the administration page.

With page headers

Without page headers

Set receiver of an order

By using the new activity 'Set order receiver', you can specify which user an order is meant for.

This will allow you to track orders better and will allow for more detailed reports.

If receiver is set in an order with a task activity in it, the receiver will be displayed in the todo-list of the user assigned with the task.

Activity in toolbox

Activity in workflow editor

Order in order details

Task in Todo-list. Concerning user is the user set as receiver.

To learn how to use this feature, check out the video tutorial

Latest state is shown in activity feed

Now the latest state is shown in activity feed even when the order is completed.

Latest state was not shown before

Latest state is now visible in activity feed

Support for quantity in new UI

Quantity is here again, and will simplify ordering of multiple items of the same kind.

Quantity in cart

Quantity in service details

Admin web visual lift up!!

The graphical lift up of administration web is harmonizing the look-and-feel between zervicepoint's user and admin interfaces.

Changeable text on submit button

It is now possible to change the text on the submit button. This is useful in cases where you do not want the text to be "Place Order". For example, a Change Request may not be considered an "order" and therefore the order button text should be something else.

This can be set on the process/service:

Grouped Activities - Change order of parameters

It is now possible to change the order of the input and output parameters by drag and drop on the Parameters tab.

Grouped Activities - Mix with provider activities

When assigning a category to a grouped activity it is now possible to select one from the list of provider activity modules.

Table page improvements

Column sizes

These changes will affect the look of your existing tables. The default size will be Medium.

You can now specify the size of each column:

The available column sizes are:

• XSmall
• Small
• Medium
• Large
• XLarge

General styling update

We have modernized the look of the table sections. Here's a few of the styling changes we have made:

• Smaller font
• Row borders removed
• Table cell data will now be shortened if it does not fit in the column (see the new Tooltip feature below)
• Header background color
• Table allowed to grow to 1366px on larger displays, after that it will be scrollable

Previous table section look

New table section look

Tooltips If the data does not fit within the table cell we will shorten it and end the cell with "...", indicating that more data is available. Hovering the mouse cursor over the cell will show more of the data in a Tooltip.

Client search If the developer don't choose a search parameter in a table section, the table will do an initial empty search to fetch all the data when the user enters the page. The end-user will then be able to search through the loaded data by typing in the search box. This will not trigger a new client web service call.

If the developer choose a search parameter, a search will be executed when the search button is pressed or if the user presses enter. This will trigger a client web service call. The result will still be filtered when the user is typing in the searchbox.
