February Release (2025.2)

This update brings several important improvements to our platform, enhancing performance, security, and user experience. We've carefully considered your feedback and implemented changes that address your most requested features.

User Facing​

Re-Engineering of Search Result Table​

The Search Result Table has been rebuilt from the ground up. Among massive performance improvements, you can look forward to a number of new features designed to make data exploration more intuitive and efficient. The new implementation offers significantly faster loading times, improved responsiveness, and a more customizable interface to match your workflow.

Resizing & Reordering of Columns​

The PAK cloud webinterface now allows for the resizing and reordering of columns, giving you complete control over your data view. This flexibility helps you focus on the most important information for your specific tasks and optimize screen real estate.

Both column order and column size is being persisted within the respective browsers, ensuring your preferred layout remains consistent across sessions. This eliminates the need to reconfigure your view each time you access the platform.

Compact and Comfortable Table Density Options​

Switch between different density options using the Table Options Dropdown. The compact view shows more rows per screen, perfect for scanning large datasets, while the expanded view provides additional detail and improved readability when you need to focus on specific information.

This flexibility allows you to adapt the interface to different types of work - from broad data exploration to focused analysis - without leaving the search results page.

Improved Add/Remove Columns Workflow​

Customizing your table view is now more intuitive than ever. You can now add columns either from the Table Configuration Dropdown for global changes or directly to the side of a specific column via the Column Configuration Dropdown for precise placement. This dual approach provides both convenience and precision when configuring your data view.

The streamlined workflow reduces the number of clicks needed to customize your view and makes it easier to experiment with different layouts until you find the perfect configuration for your needs.

Right Click Context Menu​

To improve workflow efficiency, measurement specific actions can now be accessed directly from a right-click context menu from within the respective search result entry.

The context menu provides quick access to the most frequently used operations, helping you work more efficiently by reducing navigation time and keeping your focus on the data.

Fit to Screen Width and Fit to Content Options​

We've added intelligent sizing options to help you optimize your view based on your current needs. The "Fit to Screen Width" option ensures you can see all columns without horizontal scrolling, while the "Fit to Content" option sizes each column according to its content, minimizing wasted space and maximizing data visibility.

Descriptive Data Editing for PAK Measurements​

The descriptive data of PAK measurements can now be edited from within the webinterface.

Device Aliases in Measurement Jobssss​

The PAK cloud webinterface now supports displaying Device Aliases in the measurement jobs details as well as information on whether there are any missing devices.

Other Features​

  • The License Administration interface will now display a notice when an automation license supersedes normal licenses
  • The Move Measurements interface no longer allows for measurements to be moved to forbidden folders
  • Massive performance improvements in features related to Content-Collections. Please Note: It is currently not possible to show more than 250 measurements within the content collection view. We're working on a solution to this limitation.

Backend​

Features​

  • PAK cloud can act as an OpenID Connect Authentication Provider.
  • Experimental: PAK cloud accepts other OpenID Connect Authentication Providers.

Changes​

  • License system: the incoming hostname is checked against a list of configured allowed hostnames.

Bugfixes​

  • Names of target folders are now validated against forbidden values when moving measurements.
  • Administrators can now start index updates for single depots without needing any user license.
  • PAK measurements with attribute name lengths longer than 30 characters can now be converted to ATFX again (e.g. during download).
  • The owner of a shared content collection is now visible if there is a common role that allows mutual visibility in cases where users obtain a role via a group assignment.
