New features
Rule to disregard supplies serial number
What is the new functionality? Enable a new rule registration to disregard the serial number of supplies.
What is the benefit of the new functionality? Enable the customization of the provider's operation, allowing to register rules to disregard the serial number of supplies, avoiding the automatic exchange of supplies related to the members added to the rule.
How does the new functionality work? The rule can be registered through the menu Settings > Supplies > Invalidate serial number in readings.
Alert rule for supply running low for specific load value
What is the new functionality? Enable a new registration of alert rule for supplies running low for specific value loads.
What is the benefit of the new functionality? Enable the customization of the provider operation, allowing to generate supply running low alerts with specific value load rules that may contain codes, such as: -3 or -100.
How does the new functionality work? The alert can be registered through the menu Settings > Supplies > Alert for supply running low based on specific load value.
Agent real time configuration updates
What is the new functionality? The agent will now receive configuration updates through the NDD Orbix portal in real time.
What is the benefit of the new functionality? Speed up the deployment process and optimize provider time.
How does the new functionality work? When making setting changes in the NDD Orbix portal, the agent will receive an alert of the update and will download the settings to download what has changed.
Observations? You need to upgrade the agent to version 1.0.1.
Immediately search for network printers
What is the new functionality? Immediately search for network printers to apply the settings.
What is the benefit of the new functionality? After finalizing the service settings, the provider can immediately search the printers to apply the settings made, without having to wait for the time intervals configured in the synchronizations, speeding up the deployment process and optimizing time.
How does the new functionality work? For services that compete with network printers, the provider can start or close the printer search through the Agents > Services > Select service > Open > SETTINGS tab > PRINTER SEARCH.
Observations? The agent version must be up to date for this functionality to be available.
Immediately search for USB printer
What is the new functionality? Immediately search for USB printer to apply the settings.
What is the benefit of the new functionality? After finishing the service settings, the provider can immediately search for the printer connected to the computer to apply the settings made, without having to wait for the time intervals configured in the synchronizations, speeding up the deployment process and optimizing time.
How does the new functionality work? For services that compete with USB printers, the provider can start the printer search through the Agents > Services > Select service > Open > SETTINGS tab > PRINTER SEARCH.
Observations? The agent version must be up to date for this functionality to be available.
Improvements
Agent to portal communication flow
What purpose? Improve agent communication flow with the NDD Orbix portal by increasing the availability of connection channels.
What was done? Changed agent communication with the NDD Orbix portal from "HttpClient" to "IHttpClientFactory".
What will be affected? The agent's communication flow with the NDD Orbix portal.
What is the impact on the environment? You need to upgrade the agent to version 1.0.1.
Observations? There isn't one.
Synchronization of network printer monitoring rules
What purpose? Enable the user to perform a forced synchronization of network printer monitoring rules, in order to not have to wait for the time set by the agent (currently 1h) to fetch the configured monitoring rules.
What was done? To meet this need, the action "Synchronize" was added to the grid of "Network printer monitoring rules" and the button "Add and synchronize" was added to the action of "Add" the rules.
The "Add and synchronize" button in the "Add" action has the equivalent behavior to the "Add" button, that is, it does not close the screen, it only adds the rule to the grid and forces the synchronization of this rule with the agent linked to that computer.
What will be affected? The "Synchronize" and "Add" actions of the "Network printer monitoring rules" grid.
What is the impact on the environment? There isn't one.
Observations? There isn't one.
Keep the state of some grids as changed by the user
What purpose? Make the user experience more fluid when they are searching for data in the NDD Orbix portal grids.
What was done? It will keep the grid state the way the user changed it when they enters the properties of the supply, product or compatibility. This is to maintain paging, grouping, and grid results when the user searches.
What will be affected? The grids in the Supplies > Supplies running low, Supplies > Demand planning, Supplies > Completed demands, Supplies > Premature exchanges, Administration > Products > Products and Administration > Products > Compatibilities menus.
What is the impact on the environment? There isn't one.
Observations? There isn't one.
Fixes
Menu to add reference counters rule members got cut off in English language
How did the problem happen? In the English language in the NDD Orbix portal, when trying to add members when creating a reference meter rule, the expanded menu for adding members was cut off, i.e. behind the left side menu.
When did the problem happen? When trying to add a member while creating the reference meter rule with the NDD Orbix portal in the English language.
Where was the problem? When creating the reference meter rule from the Settings > Reference meters menu.
What was done to fix it? A property was used in the component so that the member menu opens to the other side, so that it is no longer cut off by the left side menu.
