New Features

Report Generator v1

First implementation of the report generator interface for administrators to create templates for users to run. This will be improved and added to over time.

To provide system administrators with an interface to create their own report templates which can then be run by certain users at the click of a button. This first implementation will deal with just reports on events with reports across users and documents to follow later.

Versioning of Event Types

To version control all event types so that retiring, creating a new version and publishing/updating the version is all done within a single event type rather than having to create a completely separate one.

Each Event Type has the ability to be versioned with details of the version kept within the event types themselves. The current version number and whether it is currently in a published or draft state is clearly displayed.

Creating a new version keeps the previous one published and creates a new draft. There can be only one draft version at any one time. Publishing a new version automatically retires the previous version, and versions can also be retired at any point without requiring a new draft to be created. Creating a new version will retain all the information from the previous version which can then be edited rather than having to enter large parts of the event again.

Each event type contains an audit log which shows: version details, dates of actions, authors of actions.

Some elements of event types are kept changeable when the event type is in a published state: colours, tags, select default view.

For an end user this then means that searching by event type only displays to the user the name of the current version of that event. When performing the search we return events that match every current and historic version of that event type. Individual events are labelled within the event view with their version number and the original name of the event so that no data is lost.

Improvements & Fixes

  • Relations now have the capability to be multi select; when adding a relation to an event type section you can set whether the user filling this in can only select one entry or many.

  • Blueprints can now be set to be freely tag-able by users or limited to admin use only. This enables event types to be pre-tagged with a blueprint but users to not add their own tags.

  • When creating a new event the 'Date occurred on' and 'End date' are now pre-populated to today's date.

  • It is now possible to click through directly to a user's timeline by clicking on their name from within any log event on your timeline.

  • Improvements to the styling when using the browser to print a page as PDF.

  • Improvements to 'Full text search' on the timeline view.

  • When inviting a user to fill out the next section of an event the email address is now validated so that it is not possible to submit if the email format is not valid.

  • New button and text colours to make things more legible.

  • Event types that are draft, published and archived are now all consolidated into one list, sorted alphabetically.
