Additional Updates to Site Form

With JET UI enabled, the new JET UI Site form can be enabled with the JET UI Forms Enabled system parameter; or individual users can enable the forms using the new Preview JET UI Forms setting in their User Preferences.

Note:

This enhancement applies to environments that have the JET UI enabled.

Supplier and User Configuration

The RSCH/RSCC Profile Module now supports spreadsheet-based download and upload for bulk supplier and user configuration, reducing manual admin effort. Retailer Admin users can also download or upload configuration data directly from the Suppliers and Users grids. The Users view now includes Logon ID and improved paging for easier maintenance.

Custom Validation Rules - Phase 1

Support has been added for managing existing Custom Validations through the Data Administration UI, allowing authorized administrators to update validation descriptions, sequence numbers, active status, and key validation attributes without direct database access. Access requires both the Retailer Admin profile and the enhanced_admin role (given through IDCS). Creation of new custom validations will be introduced in a future release.

Health Checks

Health Checks capability has been added to the Data Administration application to help advanced administrators identify configuration issues and integration misconfigurations within RSCH. The feature enables users to run health checks on demand, review current and previous execution results, filter results by group and status, investigate failed checks, and download health check results. This initial release includes health checks for Item, Cost, Deal, Purchase Order, and Order integrations. Access requires both the Retailer Admin profile and the enhanced_admin role.

Integration Monitors

An Integration Status capability has been added to the Data Administration application, enabling advanced administrators to monitor the integration status of Items, Costs, and Purchase Orders. The feature provides integration statistics, detailed status tracking, filtering by status and entity ID, and the ability to download induction files and integration reports for troubleshooting. Access requires both the Retailer Admin profile and the enhanced_admin role.
