The September (2024.09) release makes changes to the following:
Errors and warnings
Errors and warning changes add a filter and encoded filters in URLs.
The current Error Text contains filter will be retained and a new filter field Error Number, with the criteria Equals has been made available. This will take advantage of the direct indexing of the returned error numbers and much faster and more accurate search results. The Error Text contains filter is being retained so that additional criteria can be used in support of the Error Number equals criteria. However, it is expected that the error number field should cater for the vast majority of use cases.
An additional feature provided is that the filter string is now included as an encoded portion of the URL. This provides several productivity benefits for customers, including but limited to:
-
Using native browser functionality to enable bookmarking favourite queries.
-
Sharing a bookmark using copy and paste.
-
Encoding of the filter string provides limited security. For example, a user can share the URL, but the receiving user cannot easily or obviously modify the filter string in the URL. Once pasted into the browser's address bar, the filter chips will appear in the resultant page and the user can then change the filter accordingly.
The image Error number filter shows a filter for Error number equals 10035 applied to the Courses data group, and the bookmark for the page with the filter applied showing that the filter is encoded.
Course admissions data group
Course admissions now has links to the related Student or Course, which are particular useful when the Course admissions is in error due to data in one of the related records. The links show in the grid and in the detail page, which opens the related record in a new window. On selecting the link, the Course admissions page doesn't lose its place, and any filters applied to the grid remain in effect when the related record is opened.
The video Course admissions shows the links to the related Student and Course records on the Course admissions data group.
Error logging
Additional logging has been added for the two errors 00014SYS and 00017SYS. The additional logging occurs on a POST or a PATCH will be performed so that the appropriate details can be provided to TCSI Support. This additional logging will eventually be applied to all unexpected responses from TCSI so that Tribal can provide feedback to TCSI Support in an ongoing fashion.
If the packet being set is STUDENT, the following obfuscations will occur in the logging process:
-
