This November 2021 release includes new features, improvements and bug fixes.
Niagara 4.10.1 Notice
There is a known issue affecting all versions of Reflow in Workbench on Niagara 4.10.1. This issue only affects access to Reflow in Workbench and does not affect Reflow on 4.10.1 stations or in web browsers. A fix for this will be released by Tridium in a future version of Niagara Workbench 4.10. For more details consult the Reflow Documentation.
Dashboards
Card height options - Quarter and Half height options have been added for Niagara Point, History Sparkline, Hyperlink, HX View, URL, and Alarm Display cards
Dividers - Force a break in the layout by adding a Divider card. Dividers can optionally show a horizontal rule and include a title
You can now set a maximum column count for each dashboard at the top of the card list. This allows you to limit the number of columns shown on larger screen sizes
Niagara Point Card now supports executing point actions
Table Card Cells now support executing point actions - actions can be associated with entire Cells and with Cell Elements including Point Badges, Status Dots, and Status Icons
Floor Plans
- Elements can now be grouped together by selecting them and pressing
Control/Command + G, this option is also available in the right-click context menu - A confirmation reminder will appear regarding deleting all Elements in a Group when deleting a Group that contains Elements
Equipment
- Added Equipment Type & Group Type Settings with options:
- Default Thumbnail - thumbnail image to be shown instead of the "no image" thumbnail if a device of this type/group does not have a specific thumbnail set
- Pluralize Name – option to turn off pluralization of the type/group name on summary pages and in breadcrumbs
- Equipment Group device count cards can now be hidden when editing a group
- Devices can now be remapped from their configuration with the new Remap from Point Template button
- During point mapping, device point ORDs are now stored relatively to the device's base ord, substantially decreasing configuration file size. This occurs only when new devices are mapped or when remapping an existing device. To apply this option to existing devices, run the new Optimize Configuration File action under Settings > Additional Options
Buildings
- Buildings in disabled Building Groups will no longer appear on the Buildings Index Page or in Navigation menus, these Buildings can still be linked to directly unless they are also disabled or otherwise unavailable for a User Profile
- Building Groups can now be restricted in User Profiles, restricting a group will restrict access to all Buildings in that group for the User Profile
Misc
- Redirect Reflow View - when enabled in the Settings > Additional Options config, users that navigates to the Reflow View from a web browser will be redirected to the Reflow Redirect View (servlet). This enables redirecting users without the use of a nav file
- A new action named Optimize Configuration File has been added user Settings > Additional Options. Running this action will optimize the current configuration file (config.json) to reduce its file size
