• In case of a backend process failure, such as notifications or status report generation, all group owners will now receive a notification. This ensures that relevant stakeholders are promptly informed of any issues, contributing to better transparency and efficient resolution of potential problems.

• Two new tables have been introduced to the OData feed to facilitate reporting on process step flow.  These additions enable enhanced reporting capabilities, providing detailed insights into the progression of plans through different process steps.

  • Process Steps Table

    • Columns: Step ID, Step Name, Order, Plan Type ID, Plan Type Name
    • Each row represents a unique process step.

  • Plan Process Steps Table

    • Columns: Plan ID, Step ID, Start, End, State
    • Each row represents a specific occurrence when a plan transitions through a step.
    • Multiple rows can exist for the same step if revisited.
    • If the last step is logged, the start and end times are set to be the same during the start of that step.
• The Tasks table can now be pre-filtered in the OData query, enhancing the performance of task data loading. The supported OData filter operators include:
  • eq: Exact matches
  • ne: Not equal to
  • gt: Greater than
  • lt: Less than
  • ge: Greater than or equal to
  • le: Less than or equal to
  • and: Combines multiple filters with an "and" condition
  • or: Combines multiple filters with an "or" condition
  • You can filter on work item types by using the operators above with the work item type ID values.

• In the scenario where multi-auth is enabled, and Microsoft authentication is in use, if a user is logged in with a Microsoft account, a new button has been added to facilitate searching Entra ID (formerly named Azure Active Directory) for users. This feature enhances user convenience by providing a direct and efficient way to find users within Entra ID.
• If a user has been invited to OnePlan but has not yet accepted, a new button has been added in the resource edit screen. This button allows the user to resend the invitation, streamlining the process and ensuring that invitations can be easily reissued when needed.
