New Feature Description

This section describes the new features.

Redwood User Interface

The Retail Home user interface has been switched from the Alta UI theme to the Redwood UI theme.

Redwood User Interface

Administrator Dashboard

The dashboard for Retail Home administrators has been updated to include additional information, including a list of the applications available in Retail Home and a way to download their links as a comma-delimited file, a tile showing open Role Requests in the system, information about Subscription usage, and various helpful links to administration functionality.

Administrator Dashboard

Config Import/Export User Interface

The ability has been added for Retail Home administrators to export the current Retail Home configuration to a JSON file, and to import a JSON file with Retail Home configuration. This functionality uses the existing Seed web service, but makes it available in the Retail Home UI for convenience. This will make moving a configuration from environment to environment easier.

Config Import/Export User Interface

Batch Status Banner

A banner will be displayed to users in Retail Home at the top of their dashboard when batch jobs are currently running. The information on this banner will come from Process Orchestration and Monitoring (POM). This information will allow users to make decisions about whether they should try logging in to applications or whether they should wait for batch jobs to complete.
