Workflow assignment enhancements

  • The Workflow page is now the Assignments page. The Assignments page allows you to view a list of all assignments, or you can filter the list to show only your outstanding assignments. Assignments are tasks that are assigned to you as a result of a workflow step.
  • You can respond to your assignments from the Home page or from the Assignments page.
  • Depending on the workflow configuration in your system, you can reassign a form that you own to another user. You can reassign items from the My Assignments panel on the home page, or from the Assignments page. If you are an administrator, you can reassign workflow items belonging to other users to another user in the system.
  • On asset detail pages, the Workflow tab is now the Assignments tab. The Assignments tab lists the assignments associated with the selected asset, allowing you to track any outstanding items that relate to processes that you have either initiated (for example, proposing a new business term) or are responsible for progressing (for example, approving or rejecting modifications to assets). The tab includes a count of the number of outstanding assignments associated with the asset.
  • A new Requests page lists all workflow instances that you have initiated, for example, proposing a new business term, or a certification request.

Relationship configuration

  • One-to-Many or Many-to-One relationships can be changed to Many-to-Many, even if relationships exist.
  • On the Configuration > Relationships page, if the Edit menu option is disabled, a tooltip indicates why. For example, to explain that you cannot edit relationship types when relationships exist for this relationship type.

Actions v2.0 API

Added a new _hasAssignments parameter to the GET /api/v2/actions/types endpoint to allow you to filter the response to include only action types with open assignments.

DataProfiles v2.0 API

Added identifier settings on a data profile to indicate which observer created the profile.

Environment v2.0 API

Added a message property on the GET /api/v2/environment/usage endpoint which will return a value if an asset or an asset type is deleted.

Corrected issues

Issue summary Issue number
Fixed an issue that caused an incorrect URL to be included in notification emails when you are notified that you have been tagged in a comment for an asset. GOV-28826
Fixed an issue that caused unpopulated optional fields in workflow actions to use the last populated value. GOV-28748
Fixed an error on the Scoring tab when opening a rule result with a count bigger than 2,147,483,647. GOV-28706
Fixed an issue that prevented tooltip text from showing for items that you follow on the user profile page. GOV-28912
Fixed an error that occurred when filtering on the Relationships tab of an asset detail page. GOV-28966

Fixed the change logs to show the friendly name instead of the API name for fields. GOV-29752
Removed an option to clear the date dropdown on the Scoring tab which caused the dropdown to disappear. GOV-29755

Database Harvester 7.4.2

  • CT-1330 - Fixed an issue where assets and lineage were not produced correctly when the database object name contained certain diacritics such as carons, ogoneks, overdots, and strokes, originally discovered when certain characters in Czech-Slovak languages would present as "?".
