The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version.

Improvements

The issues mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

Added 'holiday' to enable pausing of workflows - EV-268

The workflow is configured based on interval dates either based on start, evaluation or end date. This means that for instance during the Christmas Holidays the workflow continues and the student reminder will be sent during this period.

An option is added to pause the workflow during a specified period, e.g. December 23 till January 8. This will prevent notifications from being sent during this period and will also recalculate the actual workflow dates including the 'pause period'.

Configuration:

  • Navigate to the Admin / Holidays menu
  • Click on Create to specify a new Holiday (pause) period
Use the Admin/Holidays menu to define holiday (pause) periods used in workflow date calculation

Existing configuration of the workflow should be adjusted to use the calculated end of evaluation date instead of the start date.

Example config where the calculated reminder date is set as the 'End of evaluation'. Further dates are based on the calculated date

Sidebar navigation broken in preview mode- EV-271

Fixed a display bug where previewing an evaluation with sidebar configuration did not show the expected sidebar navigation.

Support for FTP-based archiving of reports (PDF) to Google Cloud environments - EV-93

As part of the migration to the TimeEdit standard Google Cloud infrastructure the FTP-based archive function is migrated and made available on Google Cloud. The previous release added the foundation of this service and this has been finished in this release

The FTP-based archive enables:

  • the automated generation of reports defined by the administrator as PDF-reports in the backend
  • the automated transfer via sftp of the generated reports to a customer FTP-server

The customer can now for instance process the generated reports from their FTP-server internally to a Data Warehouse or Content Management system for historic reasons.

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.

This release no vulnerabilities has been reported that require mitigation.
