New Features

F&O Data Entry (Preview)

The first phase of this new Data Portal feature will deliver Create, Update and Delete functions. It will also be looking at Import & Confirm routines, to show how mass data can be managed. Trade editing will be through a simple UI (panel).
Details:
  • Standard Data Entity grids for trades
  • Custom grid used for Import process (pre-confirm) as data in files could be garbage and this will break EF
  • The proposal is to load the file onto the grid , allow the users to fix any issues and then import , so only valid data gets to the fut02

Data View Management

Part of a multi-phase development, 8.19 will enable administrators to add new Data Views  to Data Portal based on existing ones using a nominated Layout. The Admin UI will provide a presentation of the Data Portal structure and allow some basic configuration in terms of customising the Navigation menu (including the Folder and Data View names). The latter will be a Premium feature and be driven by an existing Data View with an applied Layout/Filter which can be converted to a dedicated DV.

Details:

Enable Administrators to manage the presentation of Data Portal

  • Amend existing DVs (name, sequence)
  • Enable and Disable DVs
  • Tie in DV permission control (next phase)

MS Teams Channel Integration

Following the first phase introduced in ITAS Services 8.17.0, that enabled redirection of user-subscribed alerts to MS Teams personal ‘chat’ channel, this phase will enable the assignment of a topic to a specific Teams Channel.

This would be useful in the situation when a notification needs to go to a team of users (channel members) for group notifications and potentially follow-up discussions.

Mexico/Diversa Adapter (Outbound)

The Diversa Adapter introduces electronic invoicing workflow activity for Mexico→Diversa. 

Find out more information on what Diversa can offer here.

Enhancements 

Admin Alert Management UI (P2)

This development involves extending the capabilities for Data Portal administrators to manage alerts. The screen will allow creating/editing/deleting, enable/disable, applying optional pre-filters and assigning subscriptions to Teams channels.

  • Creating the initial alert to be available to users

This phase will extend the range of properties/parameters available to the Workflow Manager request model. This will involve creating 2 new activities; DB→JSON and JSON→DB (i.e. export/import via JSON files). It will also looking to introduce DB→DB (ORACLE). 

Details:

  • option to create new TE tables as part of the request

Details:

  • New triggers:
    • cron-style with front-end (constructor) to handle schedule/intervals

    • See Mexico Diversa Adapter (Outbound) above

Auto-Index Documents (P2)

  • ITAS Docman Server (heritage windows service) which will identify/extract the embedded images
  • Docman API which will need to include images in PDF generation step
