UI features

The following new or updated functionality will be included in this release.

Enhancements to the UI to Provide Additional Functionality

This feature provides support for UI enhancements that provide information about Links, assigning roles, and activating users.

Enhanced the failed Link options and descriptions in the UI

This feature introduces a new icon in the UI so System Administrators and Application Administrators can resubmit a failed Link with the same details that were previously added for the Link. Companies that own multienterprise apps can link Partners and internal locations to those apps and their respective networks using Links. These Links allow the Owner and their linked entities to collaborate and exchange data. In some instances, the Link cannot be established.

The Link might fail due to the following reasons: 

  • The TraceLink system is not reachable because master data is not accessible.
  • There is an issue importing bulk Links through a CSV file.
  • The identifier, which is used for a Partner or internal location to link an app or network, is not already added to the TraceLink Network.
  • An email address that the System Administrator or Application Administrator added when attempting to establish the Link does not belong to a user on the TraceLink Network

If this occurs, System Administrators and Application Administrators can resubmit a failed Link with the same details that were previously added for the Link. See for more information.

The feature also includes enhancements to the results table on the to display more details about the Link. The new columns include:

  • Entity
  • Type
  • Roles
  • Error Description
  • Date Created

In a future release, users will be able to edit Link details before resubmitting a Link that failed to process.

Enhanced filtering Links option

This feature enhances the error description that displays when a users filters for a Linked Entity on the , tabs, and then selects Apply without selecting a network from the drop down.

The feature also introduces a new My Company's Role column on the tabs on the View screens.

Updated information and options on the Users Screens

This feature includes a new Assign to Administrator Role confirmation dialog when a System Administrator assigns the role to a user who is not a member of their company using the assign an external user to the Application Administrator role functionality. The additional confirmation dialog allows the System Administrator to verify that they want to grant a Partner the Application Administrator role, which allows a user who is not a member of their company to perform administration tasks for the apps and networks associated with the Application Administrator role.

This feature allows users to by selecting Activate in the Action menu.

Additionally, the Assign to Administrator Role button name and the Assign User to Administrator Role section name in the UI is changed to Assign External User to Administrator Role and Assign External User to Administrator Role, respectively. When a System Administrator or Application Administrator assigns a user to the role, the Administrator now selects the Assign External User to Administrator Role button to open the Assign External User to Administrator Role section.
