v5.3.0 - The Verbena
Hey everyone,
This release might just change your perception of time as it is a doozy. our entire team met up in Vegas recently for Right of Boom and had a blast doing brainstorming sessions on making CIPP better for you. Don't worry, we didn't do anything silly like getting a stand and spending money on ROI that'll never come, but we did make sure you all got hydrated at our CIPP open bars spread through the conference.
In this release we've focused on getting you new features, QoL, but especially backend stuff. This release has a cost reduction built into it, depending on your instance this could be a 30% reduction, but we've seen up to 200% cost reduction too! We've moved our most expensive queries to a new method by using Durable Functions and this should really press the cost down.
Let's zoom in on the new features, and changes we've made to check out the cool stuff
Speed and Powerrrrr
As we said, lots of backend changes but you'll notice your frontend also feels faster. This is because we've made improvements to the way we process larger tasks in the background too. These changes also meant we could implement a method to view pending webhooks, easying the creation of your custom rules for our Alerts Engine.
License overview improvements
The license overview has had a bit of an overhaul, now calculating NCE terms more accurately, but also showing more information while hiding subscription information by default. We've made sure the exports still contain the same info if you're forwarding these to a administration department.
Default fields
Under the user settings screen you can now find default fields for all users, easily adding them as a requirement to be filled out whenever creating a user. This is useful for non-default fields like State, officeLocation, or custom extension properties.
Frontend tweaks
you might notice some new logos, some frontend changes, and a new feature when you change a tables layout; the table layout is now saved by default. You can reset the table layout separately for each table, so it simply stores the columns you've selected last. We've also reintroduced a feature that's been missing for a while. Can you spot it? ;)
Other notable changes
- We've added the ability to use tokens in Graph Explorer
- We've solved a bug that add user failed to create a user and didn't stop the rest of the tasks.
- We've fixed an issue with sharepoint quota calculations and alerts.
- We now detect is anonymized data is enabled, and report on it directly in the table so users can enable the standard to disable this(that's a weird sentence!)
- We've added a new method of processing webhooks, cutting the processing time down by a lot.
- You can now view expired subscriptions under the license tab.
- We've added a warning to the edit user screen when Alternate Login ID should be used.
- So so much more!
