Changelog - Valuedesk Releases and Updates

Here you get information about all changes and releases of Valuedesk (English only).

18.09.2024

Features and Improvements

• Updated run up widgets to show targets and the gap to target even when the current filter or scope matches no process data. This allows users to see their objectives, unlike the previous behaviour where an empty run up would display a "No data" message. Now, the "No data" message is only shown when neither targets nor process data are available.
• Added a search field to the Admin Partner Table (in some cases Admin Supplier Table), allowing administrators to easily search, find, and manage entries.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug that led to an “Internal Server Error” when users were trying to filter date columns with the “Is not set” condition.
• Fixed a visual bug where unavailable options, such as claiming a process, were incorrectly presented to users. Although the validation prevented these actions, attempting them resulted in an error message.
• Fixed a bug where changes to the level start and due dates sometimes saved only the year instead of the full date in the level history.
• Fixed an issue where it was impossible to complete a level if start and due dates were mandatory but missing in previous levels. The completion check now ensures all current levels have valid start and due dates in logical order, without checking previous levels.

12.09.2024

Features and Improvements

• Enhanced the tree navigation and selection experience across all views, making it easier for users to expand nodes, search, and select items with clearer visuals and flexible input options.

• The widget type is now displayed in both the widget settings and the widget itself, making it easier for all users (including those accessing shared read-only dashboards) to identify the widget type by hovering over the info icon or opening the settings.

• Improved the error message that is shown when a user tries to adjust or complete a level that has already been completed.

• Added the possibility to delete effects during data import by using a dedicated symbol ("x", case-insensitive), allowing users to keep their measures up to date and accurate.

• Moved all permissions from "Admin → Groups" to the "Admin → Permissions" section and converted them to access control list (ACL) rules, providing administrators with more fine-grained control over permission settings. Group names, descriptions, and visibility can still be configured in the "Admin → Groups" section.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a visual bug where tooltips sometimes stayed visible even after scrolling away from the item they were attached to.
• Fix a bug where changing the ValueStream of a measure results in a crash when the measure is visited in the same session afterwards.
• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused a global error in the “Standard” process grid view when rapidly selecting multiple ValueStreams.
• Fixed a bug that caused the list of selectable deciders to show users who were not responsible for a process but had the self-decision permission, even though they could not decide. Now, only the responsible person with self-decision can be selected, without changing the behaviour for users who have the permission to always decide.
• Fixed a bug where the list of deciders included users who could not see the ValueStream of the current measure, which caused an error when selecting them.

04.09.2024

Features and Improvements

• When a users attempt to save an already existing effect combination, the save button is now disabled, and a hint is shown.
• The permissions to create new partners from within a process and accessing the administration page have been moved from “Administration > Groups” to “Administration > Permissions”

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug where date fields for levels of non-accessible Valuestreams were incorrectly visible in column and filter selections.
• Fixed a bug that prevented resizing of columns in the admin user table.
• Fixed a bug that caused the global create button to become non-functional on the opportunities page after creating an opportunity. Users were unable to create another resource using the same button without reloading the page or using the local create opportunity button.
• Fixed a bug that prevented inviting new users even when open contributor seats were available.
• Fixed a bug causing effect dates to display with a one-day offset due to a timezone issue, and resolved an issue with the date picker that prevented selecting valid dates.
• Fixed a bug where waterfall bars displayed incorrect sums when the attribute was a scope field. The drilldown showed correct values, but the aggregation logic was faulty, causing the sums in the waterfall bars to be inaccurate.

28.08.2024

Features and Improvements

• Make it possible to view the comment a decider added on a decision after the decision level was approved

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug where users without access to process could see the “last seen processes” item in the news feed view.

14.08.2024

Features and Improvements

• Improved visibility of selected filters in the Opportunities Matrix when opening the widget configuration of a shared dashboard.
• Admins can now change a process's Value Stream. Fields missing in the target Value Stream will be deleted. Processes can only move to valid target Value Streams with similar level configurations.
• (Visual) The label layout of the scope configuration in the process desk and grid view is now streamlined with the other labels. Additionally, the scope configuration in the widget configuration dialogs no longer has duplicate labels.

Bugfixes

Features and Improvements

09.07.2024

Features and Improvements

• Add the possibility to add user groups to measures with read or write permissions to make it easier to precisely add larger quantities of users. While doing this, we removed the visibility setting "company wide" as it was misleading in the past. Instead, it is now possible to configure a group of users in the admin section that will automatically gain access after completion of the first level. To maintain the old behaviour, we created a group of users that were allowed to edit measures that were shared with the old setting and set this user group as the default group that will gain access after level one completion. Furthermore, we added a system managed group of all Full Users.
• Enhance your sharing experience by introducing the feature to hide groups within the dashboard and measures share dialog.
• Add the possibility to reorder tree nodes in the admin area. This will also affect the order of nodes inside selection fields. Furthermore, we added a feature to sort the bars in the process bar chart widget and the fields in the "White Spot Matrix" widgets by this order when a tree field is configured on the relevant axis.
• Show the Dashboard navigation bar when a dashboard is not accessible, so the user can switch to a dashboard that can be shown instead of only showing that the dashboard is not accessible.
• Add the possibility to filter measures by the groups that can read a measure to find all measures where a certain user group is involved.
• Improve the performance of access checks in the application by caching the group structure. This will result in a maximum of 2 minutes until all group changes made by admins are propagated in the whole application.
• Add a new two-column access dialog to configure which users and groups have access to a dashboard or measure more easily.
• Add a new action in admin process view to change the responsibility of multiple measures at once. Responsibility can only be given to users that have access to the valuestreams of the selected processes and are allowed to be responsible for processes.
• Add default filter to open processes for activity list widget templates.
• Updated and streamlined shadows of all UI components for differentiation of elevated components like modal and popover components.
• Added the possibility to view the configured scope of read-only widgets on a shared dashboard.
• Add the dashboard id in the admin permissions section to better identify the correct dashboards.

Bugfixes

• Display the full tree path in the calculation level table to provide users with more information about the selected value.
• Correct a bug that caused new users to land on the oldest shared dashboard they have access to, instead of their own dashboard, on their first visit.
• Rectify a bug that resulted in all new users being created with a default English language setting, even when the admin selected German.
• Amend some inconsistent labels in the admin permissions view to enhance understanding.
• Fix the error that caused incorrect dashboard owners to be displayed on other users' dashboards.
• Pagination in admin permissions area is now correctly reset if the list of permissions changes (eg. when applying filters).
