Document Templates can be grouped into a package and generated on-demand
in the same was as individual document templates. Packages can be
generated in bulk.
Migrate much of BI to Services.
Added Wireless Profile Provider plugin feature.
Added Certificate Authority Provider plugin feature.
Modified Certificate Provider plugin feature.
Database migration v17, for Device Profiles.
Enrolment Client Updated to support CA Certificates, Wireless Profiles
and Hardware Info.
New Client Enrolment Protocol to support new features.
Plugin Manifest Generator added to main solution.
Improved AD search performance.
The QR Code now stores the data using a custom binary encoding format.
This reduces the amount of data stored by ~30%. This increases the
chance of a lower-version QR Code being used and the likelyhood of even
small QR Codes being detected. Compatibility with previously generated
documents is maintained.
Managed Group references (and subscriptions) continued to exist after
Device Profiles, Device Batches and Document Templates were deleted.
This prevented assigning the same group to another
Profile/Batch/Template without first recycling the IIS App Pool.
A method of 'Enrolling' devices which only updates the Disco database
(makes no changes to clients or AD). Can be easily called from a script
and used to add servers or any custom device.
If a Non-Warranty job has 'Accounting Charge Required' it cannot be
normally closed until 'Accounting Charge Added' (even if 'Account Charge
Paid'). The job can still be forcibly closed (by those with permission
to forcibly close jobs).
The 'Awaiting Finance' and 'Accounting Charge' lists have been updated
to reflect this requirement.
OnGenerated and OnImportAttachment allow advanced users to enter
expressions which will be evaluated whenever these document
template/importing events are triggered. This enables greater
automation.
When warranty jobs are submitted (via plugins) users can choose to
include attachments. These attachments are submitted to Disco ICT Online
Services. A secure link is then provided to the plugin so the
attachments can be retrieved.
Various code-paths *assumed* valid domain account ids as long as an id
existed (simple null-check). Correct checks for valid domain account ids
has been implemented.
Logging Repair for Non-Warranty jobs has been brought into line with
Logging Warranty. RepairProviderFeature implemented which allows plugins
to be used in submitting jobs to third-parties for repair.
Document Template Attachments, Device Batches, Device Profiles and User
Flags can be associated with an Active Directory group. This AD group is
then automatically synchronized with relevant User/Machine accounts.
Contains various other UI tweaks and configuration enhancements.
