Change Log
Reflow Version 1.6.1 (build 52)
This July 2022 release includes new features, improvements and bug fixes.
Alarms
- Alarm consoles and building alarm filters can be set to automatically exclude new alarm classes that get added to the station in Niagara with the Restrict New Alarm Classes setting
- New action buttons are available to easily restrict or allow all alarm classes for a console or building
- The Active Alarm Summary can now be shown on Active Alarms and Alarms Details pages
- LinkPickers support directly linking to the Active Alarms page of an alarm console
Dashboards
- Points List cards have a new option to color point names and/or values by their Niagara status
Floor Plan Editor

Performance Optimizations
- The method in which Reflow stores points and groups under devices has been streamlined to take up less space in the configuration file. This optimization can reduce configuration file sizes by up to 60% before caching. A configuration file migration will take place when 1.6.1 is loaded with older configuration files
- The Buildings index page has been optimized to load more quickly for configurations with many buildings
- Table dashboard cards have been optimized to significantly improve performance when many columns/rows/elements are used
- Additional multithreading support has been added to configuration file saves, web cache, and synchronization
ReflowService
- The client web socket timeout can now be configured in the ReflowService property sheet using the Socket Timeout property; it defaults to 10 seconds. You may wish to increase this setting when working on slow networks (including over VPN or mobile data gateways)
