Admins can now leverage Data Set actions to send targeted requests to a specified endpoint. This enables dynamic updates to persisted objects, such as changing a user's status to "Inactive." While the request body content is currently static, this powerful feature provides a flexible way to manage and modify data within your system.
Release Notes
Data Sets now offer even greater customization power. Admins can directly add manual query parameters to the endpoint URL, enabling fine-grained control over data retrieval.
This flexibility allows you to:
- Filter Data: Apply specific filters to narrow down the results
- Select Fields: Choose the exact fields you want to retrieve
- Flatten Responses: Simplify complex data structures
- Search for Specific Terms: Find relevant information quickly
By tailoring the endpoint response, admins can provide a more curated and user-friendly experience for end-users.
Behind the Scenes:
The platform seamlessly reconciles these manual parameters with those generated by:
- Admin Configuration: Fields and Actions tab settings
- End-User Interactions: Filter and sort options selected in the UI
This ensures a consistent and efficient data retrieval process.
On top of that, admin users can also add or map fields manually to be displayed in the Data Set, so they will be able to bring the information back for those endpoints that don’t have the fields properly typed in the response.
The Database Upgrade Report is now enabled by default and offers expanded information compared to previous releases.
After running a database upgrade, check the reports/ directory for reports about what occurred in the system during the upgrade. The new upgrade_report_diagnostics file includes further details to diagnose any possible issues.
New properties and configurations have been added to allow control over the default user created for new virtual instances.
The instance admin user can be defined by the system admin upon instance creation or be disabled completely. This adds an immediate additional layer of security to a new virtual instance.
