Release October 2024

We are happy to deliver the brandnew October 2024 release with the new Workflow Maintenance Mode and many more! Try it now!

Remember, the Web Client is the user friendly spreadsheet for your Collector Users to deliver their monthly/weekly/daily data. The Web App is the tool for the Power User to setup and control your organization’s collection workflows.

(1) Web Client: New Workflow Pause Mode

With the new “Pause Mode” you can pause a running workflow and this way stop a data collection process immediately. Your End Users (“Collector Users”) will not be able to write back new data any more.Use the pause mode if an emergancy case happens during a running data collection workflow.

a) Pause Mode for End Users (“Collector Users”)

Your Collector Users can enter a running workflow (status “Open”), entering data and write it back.

As soon as the workflow will be paused by the Organizer, it is not possible to write back data any more:

Collector users who enter the workflow after the pause was activated by the Organizer, will see this status “Paused” already on the workflow tile:

The workbook can be entered, but not read or write process can be executed in pause mode:

b) Pause Mode for the Power User (“Organizer”)

The organizer of the workflow can pause a running workflow by simply activating the slider for the pause mode. Furthermore the organizer can define the message that is shown to the collector users:

A paused workflow is title with the status “Paused” in the workflow overview:

(2) Web Client: New Realtime Workflow Validation

Until now, during a running data collection session of a collector users the status of the underlying workflow was not refreshed (the status at the beginning of the session was used during the whole session.

With the new Pause function we have changed that. At every Write and Read process the status of the workflow is validated before the process itself is executed. As soon as the status of the workflow has changed, no Write or Read process can be executed anymore.

The same is true if the Organizer of the workflow changes the deadline for the workflow. If the deadline is moved back by the Organizer, the collector users cannot write data any more:

(3) Web Client: New E-Mail Confirmation for new users

Until now, the e-mail adress of newly registered users had not to be confirmed. With this release, this has changed.

If a new user is registered with data1.io …

… the e-mail adress must be confirmed:

It is not possible for a newly registered user to login with data1.io as long the e-mail adress is not confirmed:

The registered user must open the confirmation e-mail and click the link in the e-mail:

You are directed to the e-mail confirmation page, where you can find also the link to the data1.io login page:

(4) Web Client: New Performance Analyzer Export / Import

We have created a new function in the Performance Analyzer (invoked with “Ctrl + Alt + P”) …

… which exports the content of the performance log into a file (*.data1iopa):

This file can be submitted the our support (support@data1.io) and our Global Admins can import this file within their own environment in order to analyze the submitted performance log:

(5) Web Client: Improved Copy & Paste Behaviour

There was an issue with Copy & Paste of cell ranges on protected cells. Until now it was possible to paste a range of cells (e.g. values from Excel) into the workbook and paste it also over protected cells:

This has changed now. It is not possible any more to paste a range of cells on protected cells:

(6) Web Client: Improvements for Copy Data and Action Buttons

We have done some improvements on the Copy Data feature. First, we have streamlined the Copy Data dialog. Second there was an issue with the calculation of the number of the copied records in applications with encrypted measure columns.

Furthermore we have also improved the the action buttons. First, sometimes the buttons disappeared after scrolling and leaving / come back to the sheet. Second, there was an issue with the SetCellValue parameter which can be used to control the visibility settings for rows and columns.

(7) Debugging

As every month we have done also some debugging.
