New Feature Description
This section describes the new features.
Self-Service Patch Rescheduling
Initially, a Retail Home Administrator can opt for a patch from the Retail Home Applications' Application Dashboard page by choosing an application version, patch schedule, and request a patch. In this release, a feature has been added that allows Retail Home Administrator to create a new patch request while the previous one is in SCHEDULED status. Below are the patch request flows:
-
Request Patch -> Request Accepted -> Request Approved -> Patch Scheduled
-
Request Patch -> Request Accepted -> Patch Rejected
-
Request Patch -> Request Accepted -> Request Approved -> Patch Scheduled -> Reschedule Patch -> Reschedule Request Accepted -> Reschedule Request Approved -> Patch Scheduled
-
Request Patch -> Request Accepted -> Request Approved -> Patch Scheduled
-
Request Patch -> Request Accepted -> Request Approved -> Patch Scheduled -> Reschedule Patch -> Reschedule Request Rejected -> (Initial) Patch Scheduled
New Application Notification in Application Navigator
In this release, whenever a new application has been added since the last time the user logged in, they will be able to see the following:
-
A count of new applications (similar to Notifications) near the Application Navigator icon in the left menu bar.
-
A blue indicator beside the new application name inside the menu.
Once the user has viewed the addition of new application, the indicator is cleared. This is applicable only for newly added applications and not for updated or deleted ones.
Ability To Update Seeded Application in Application Navigator
Retail Home Administrators are now allowed to update and delete applications in the Application Navigator table, even if the application is a seeded application.
Settings Menu Now Requires Retail Home and Platform Services Admin Roles
A user must now have the Retail Home administrator role and the PSRAF administrator roles to access the Settings menu. See the Retail Home Security Guide for details about these roles.
