Change Log
Reflow Version 1.7.1 (build 63)
This April 2023 release includes new features, improvements and bug fixes.
Alarms
Alarm Sounds
- Alarm consoles can now have sounds configured per class under the Alarms > Alarm Console > Alarm Sounds menu
- Each of the 11 sounds has been created or curated by our team to be pleasant yet attention grabbing in any environment
- Sounds will be played when the console refreshes and a new alarm record is transitioning into a fault, offnormal, or alert state
Dynamic Row Styles
- Find these options in Alarms > Alarm Console > Table Styles & Columns
- Alarm table rows can be styled based on source state (alert, fault, offnormal, normal) or acknowledgement status
- A color can be selected for each state/status and separate options for the row border, background, cell text, and action button can be toggled to use this color
- The icons that appear in the Ack State column for acked/unacked records can now be customized
Consoles can now be set to display the active alarms page by default
The Alarms configuration menus have been reorganized to accommodate the new features and options
Histories
Charts
- Multiple Y Axis Support
- Charts now display Y-axes on both the left and the right side of charts when values with differing unit facets are displayed
- The primary Y-axis (left) is chosen based on which history was added to the chart first, the second history added with a differing unit facet will set the secondary axis and all other histories with differing facets will add additional options to the secondary Y-axis
- Y-axes can be swapped by clicking on the axis label
- Hovering over a Y-axis label will isolate the histories associated with it in the chart
- Hovering over a legend item will isolate the corresponding history in the chart
- Multiple Y Axis Support
History Index Page Group Filtering
- The filter menu now deselects child groups when a parent group is deselected
- While this new behavior feels better and makes more sense to end-users in the Reflow view, it will make it impossible to select parent groups without also selecting their children when using multiple tags in Niagara History Groupings. To account for this, a new Strict Group Picker option has been added to the Histories Index Page config. When enabled, this will return the group filter its pre-1.7.1 behavior.
Display names will now be shown instead of history names for remote histories that have a display name set
Buildings
- Building Index Page
- The building map configuration options have been reorganized in the configuration menu
- Automatic counts for floors and devices on building cards and map popovers can be overridden in the new 'Device and Floor Counts' options
- Maps
- Map Marker Styles are now available in the Building Index Page configuration
- Marker styles allow you to set custom icons and colors for map markers; styles can be applied to buildings and groups
- Building groups have a new 'Child Marker' style setting that allows you to set the default style of all markers for the group's children
- The default options for map marker colors have been moved to the 'Default Marker Style' in the new Map Marker Styles menu in the Building Index Page
- Groups can now have map markers
- Markers will zoom to the group and display a popover card when clicked; both options can be toggled off in the group's configuration
- A group's children can be hidden on the map when the group's marker is visible; this can be restricted to specific zoom levels allowing you to take a cluster of buildings and display a single marker for only the group until the user zooms to the specified level
- Map Marker Styles are now available in the Building Index Page configuration
- A Map Marker menu option has been added to each Building's configuration; this can be used to set marker style and precise location information for buildings in one spot
Equipment
Devices can now be served by multiple devices. Up to two parent items will be shown in the device's title - when more than two served by parents are selected, a dropdown menu will appear instead
The Status Point property can now be set when remapping devices; a remap warning prompt will now appear when changing the Status Point of an Equipment Type on the Point Template
Dashboards
- Building Map Card
- The buildings that appear on this card can be filtered in the card configuration
- Toggle Card
- A new "None" option has been added for true and false actions. When this is selected the card will no longer be clickable by the user on the dashboard and will no longer display a pointer cursor
- A new "Require confirmation" option has been added to display a customizable confirmation modal before an action is ran when the card is clicked
- History Sparkline & Chart Cards
- The styles for charts have been updated for these cards when they are used in a custom page with dark mode on
- Table Card
- Untitled/blank columns are now supported
Pages
- Pages that use a building's sub navigation now use that building's hero content by default. This includes the hero image background and tint settings. This behavior can be disabled with the "Use Building Hero" switch in the Page Layout options of custom pages
Floor Plan Builder
- A new macro 'Insert labels for missing equipment' has been added. Running this macro will insert labels for any devices associated with the floor that do not already have a label on the floor plan
Misc
- Reflow will now monitor activity to stop the Niagara auto logout prompt from appearing when working in the Config View
- Location pickers now display other building and group markers on the map as gray pins
- Hyperlink pickers now support linking to the 'Active Alarms' page on a Building Alarm Consoles
Bug Fixes
- Equipment

- Custom room names for devices on the equipment index page now properly override the room name slot if it exists in the device
