itris 9.21

Released August 2023

We're pleased to present itris 9.21. In this release there is 1 new feature and 8 improvements.

Remember to take a full backup of the itris database before updating.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

itris API - Job/Role Description

This release contains a breaking change to the itris API.

To accompany the improvements to job/role descriptions (see below), the itris API will now return this data in HTML format. If you are using the API to retrieve this data, you may need to update your code to handle the new format.

✨ New Features

Data Access Groups

Data Access Groups allow for controlled access to specific parts of the database. Unlike Access Groups that control access to main records, Data Access Groups control access to data within records which is Custom Fields and Attachments. This allows administrators to lock down data in certain custom fields and certain attachments to be hidden from other users.

🔥 Improvements

We are always making improvements to various areas in itris from usability enhancements to customer feedback. Here’s what we’ve improved in 9.21:

  • Report Focused Searches You can now convert most of the reports into focused searches.

  • Custom Field - OR searching We have added the ability to search for multiple values in custom field searching which are combined with OR logic.

  • Pin community notice board posts We have added the ability for users with access to the community notice board to pin notice board posts to the top of the feed.

  • New community posts indicator A new indicator has now been added to the Community button in the nav bar to show when there are new unread posts.

  • Identify unassigned users in teams/groups We have added a new area to the Teams/Groups area in the IMU that will identify any user that is not assigned to a team, user group or access group.

  • Record Groups - Archived column An archived column has now been added to each record group.

  • Sort placements by applicant You can now sort by applicant in placement search results, placement groups and the starters and finishers reports.

  • HTML Job/Role Descriptions Job/role descriptions can now be stored in HTML format to allow for better formatting translation on websites.
