Release notes 08/25/2023

Another update for the CYS software has been released this morning, including multiple bugfixes and improvements.
Want to know if your issue is fixed? Related Freshdesk items are included in the notes below for reference!


Media library:

  • When copying a link to a file from the media library, there was a limited expiration applied to the accessibility of that link. To ensure that files can be used as sources within questionnaires and email templates without having expiration issues, this is now changed. (#109307)


Exports:

  • Special characters within the name of a source, project or dashboard widget could interfere with creating export files. The character could potentially break the download link. This is now resolved by removing these characters from the file name during its creation. (#108310, #108304, 107823)
  • Exports to Excel from the data view or from a data grid widget could fail if there were values present that contained more then 32767 characters, as Excel does not accept more then that into a single cell. This issue is resolved by ensuring that in those circumstances, the value is cut off at the max character limit. The actual data does remain present and unchanged within the database and can be manually copied from the data view by the user to ensure accessibility. (#101794)


Dashboard:

  • Infographic widgets can have many different datapoints, resulting in the widget reloading or updating multiple times before showing the actual data. This is now resolved to ensure that infographics load once and then return all the updated data at once. (#106158, #106144, #106803)
  • Popup notifications through out the dashboard have been updated to the same look & feel as the pop up windows in the rest of the portal.


Questionnaire:

  • When using a multiple response question type within an input form page, the answers in the database are stored over several columns, indicating for each answer if it was chosen yes or no. If a respondent would only give a single answer, this was registered as a single response answer, so by adding the answer option code to only one column. This is now corrected to ensure the same behavior in all scenarios. (#105862)
  • Within the questionnaire builder there was a popup warning message that contained incorrect special characters, which are now removed.


Event based rules:

  • In the scenario where an event based rule was created as a one-time rule and activated, but then changed to scheduled before it ran, it would not update the new setting and still deactivate after the first run. This is now resolved to ensure that the updated setting is applied correctly. (#106135)
