7.2.0 Enhancements (Apr 22, 2021)

Migration to .NET 5 [DT-030069]

Version 7.2+ requires .NET 5. This architecture change provides better performance, stability, and futureproofing. On upgrades, all custom libraries will need to be recompiled, custom assemblies will need to be re-written, and modules may require design refactoring between architectures. To learn more, see Installation Requirements.

View Integration Improvements [DT-028770]

Configuring Flows, Rules, Reports, and other Designer Elements to be called as services for data exchange is now done through a visually enhanced interface with expanded functionality and bug fixes. This includes a single screen that contains intuitive Setup options with INFO and TEST tabs, along with download links for jMeter Scripts and Postman collections.  Visit View Integration Details to learn more.

Module Changes [DT-029506] [DT-030390][DT-030469]

Modules are like plugins that extend out-of-the-box platform functionality. With the .NET 5 change in version 7.2+, modules no longer require a restart after installation. To add modules in Decisions, visit Installing Modules.

Version 7.2+ will also migrate various open-source modules to Decisions GitHub for futureproofing and reducing the need for an entire platform upgrade.  These modules are displayed alongside core modules on the System > Administration > Features page, denoted by the URL in the module description.  See the newly introduced Observe module (Monitoring.Observe) as an example. 

Login Page Redesign [DT-029990]

Register User Page Login Page Lock Screen Page Forgot Password Page Password Reset Sent Page

Run Powershell Remotely [DT-029582]

A workaround exists for enabling remote PowerShell on the server where Decisions is installed for calling it remotely.

Hide Default Action Bar [DT-030212]

On the Folder Extension and Case Entity Data Structures, the Default Action Bar Visibility has three options (Show, Hide, Collapse). To learn more, see Creating and Using a Case Entity Data Structure.

Option for Entities to Not Add to Entity Header Data [DT-030370]

The Do Not Index property is used when creating data types and is only available on Entity Data Structures. For existing entities, the property can be configured via a query in the database. To learn more, see Creating Entities.

Multi-Tenancy Installer Check [DT-030637] 

The installer now includes a check that will fail when MT is detected, preventing upgrades to v7.2+ from proceeding until the feature is supported in future versions (target Dec 2021).

New SharePoint Dialog and Steps Settings Parameters [DT-023276] [DT-023282]

Sharepoint Settings in v7.2+ allow users to input User Agent string, Retry Count, and Retry Delay (in seconds). To learn more, see Sharepoint Basics.
