Features
Analyser enhancements
The Analyser has been converted to use the GraphQL API. In addition, clearer indication in the user interface has been added when reaching the cap of 1000 data points per resource, applicable when using the Analyser to display non-aggregated data.
Reduced indexing latency in Search API
The latency (due to a batch mechanism) for the indexing underpinning the Search API has been drastically reduced.
Advanced Permissions (BETA)
Work is ongoing to complete a first official version of our new Advanced Permissions functionality. Work is progressing as per plans, targeting a first release within the next few releases. Please note that there will be a few changes to the APIs released under BETA status, meaning that you will need to revise your code if you have started to experiment with the new Permissions API.
In this release, two new endpoints for managing roles and users have been added to the Permissions API, namely:
- REMOVE_USER_FROM_ROLE
- ADD_USER_TO_ROLE
Please see the API documentation for further details.
In a coming release, the equivalent endpoints ADD_ROLE and REMOVE_ROLE in the User API will be removed.

Minor improvements and corrections
Minor enhancements and bug fixes are delivered by the new release, including:
- Fixed issue with rendering of nested resources in the rules editor
- Fixed issue with domain setup button in domain settings
- Fixed documentation about how to retrieve the manifest
- Fixed issue that the resource drop down could “hang” when no resources were selectable
- Fixed browser errors and warnings caused by the Material UI upgrade

Features
Rule Engine Improvements
Since release 2.30, we have had support in the API for triggering rules on tcxn convention resources. In this release, we have added support for this in the App Board, meaning you can now select any tcxn convention resource in rule edit. An example of this is triggering a rule when battery or signal strength is low.
Device Management Improvements
For App Board, in the Device Management section, we have added support for downloading the job document for a job. This simplifies management and control of jobs and increases visibility of what the job actually does.
Advanced Permissions (BETA)
Work is ongoing to complete a first official version of our new Advanced Permissions functionality. Work is progressing as per plans, targeting a first release within the next few releases. Please note that there will be a few changes to the APIs released under BETA status, meaning that you will need to revise your code if you have started to experiment with the new Advanced Permissions APIs.
Minor improvements and corrections
Minor enhancements and bug fixes are delivered by the new release, including:
- Improved user experience for the user consent dialogues in App Board (both during user sign up and when editing a user).
- Fixed an issue where deleted dashboards still appeared in the App Board dashboard list under certain circumstances.
- Fixed an issue with changing the resource in a rule and then saving the rule without updating the trigger value.
- Fixed a graphical issue in rule edit where the expand/collapse arrow became misplaced under certain conditions.

Patch release 2.51.1
An issue that prevented users from saving dashboards with the domain-wide visibility setting (as opposed to personal dashboards) was identified and corrected with this patch release, deployed 2020-02-25. Under certain circumstances, the problem caused corrupt dashboard configurations, elevating the importance and criticality of the patch. We apologies for any inconvenience this problem may have caused, and kindly ask you to reach out to our support if you suspect that your configurations has been impacted.
Features
New capabilities in the dynamic thing simulator
Added functionality to increment numerical resources with a random value within a given interval. This functionality can be used to mimic time series with typical characteristics, e.g.:
- A simulated temperature based on the previous reading plus a random value within the range [-10..10]
- A simulated fuel level calculated as the current level plus a random value within the range [-10…0]
In addition, support for simulating moving things using the convention resource latlng for the thing coordinate has been added. Movement can be simulated using one of several supported simulation strategies.
- A static coordinate
- Random coordinates within a defined square
- Random coordinates within a defined circle
- The change strategy corresponds to a “random walk” were a starting coordinate’s latitude and longitude components are incremented by random values within defined ranges
- Movement following a straight line between two coordinates, with a velocity defined in meters per second
Advanced Permissions (BETA)
Work is ongoing to complete a first official version of our new Advanced Permissions functionality. Work is progressing as per plans, targeting a first release within the next few sprints.
Minor improvements and corrections
Minor enhancements and bug fixes are delivered by the new release, including:
- Fixed issue that the delete icon did not disappear when deselecting the checkbox corresponding to a saved analysis in analyser
- Added confirmation dialogue prior to deleting a saved analysis
- Enhanced behavior when deleting free text search criteria in thing filters
- Corrected rendering of resource labels for deeply nested resources in the resource selector
- Improved validation for Thing API invoke calls related to files
- Removed meta data related to the signup process from the USER LIST endpoint response in cases when not relevant

Features
Performance enhancements in App Board
Work has been done to optimize the App Board user interface in targeting improved response times and more efficient data loading, including the use of compression in delivery of the application to the browser.
Advanced Permissions (BETA)
Work is ongoing to complete a first official version of our new Advanced Permissions functionality. Work is progressing as per plans, targeting a first release within the next few sprints.
Minor improvements and corrections
Minor enhancements and bug fixes are delivered by the new release, including:
- Fixed issue with rendering of duplicated tooltips for “Connection status” in App Board.
- Under certain circumstances, Thing Groups was displayed as including zero things, even when things had been added to the Thing Group. This issue has now been resolved.
- For read only users, the user edit icon was previously visible in the users list, even if changes were impossible to save. This caused confusion, and the edit icon has now been hidden for read only users.
- Fixed issue where the city field in a user’s details was not possible to update.
- In some scenarios, the Rule Edit view in App Board did not accept changes to the rule if a Thing Name was not included in the rule definition. This has been resolved, and rules can now be saved either with or without Thing Name(s).
